I want to stick with this show, but I find it very hard to watch shows whose plots depend on their characters making dumb choices, and other characters not stopping them.
"Hey, I'mma take this potentially dangerous mutant out for lunch at a sidewalk cafe."
How about "No?"
"Hey, wanna see me turn this cop car inside out?"
How about "No?"
"Hey, if you wanna stay here, you gotta let me brand your face."
How about "NO?"
Or...
Person A: *states dumb idea*
Person B: "No, that's a dumb idea."
A: *offers flimsy rationale*
B: "...Okay."
And yeah, the flashbacks and Jace can both stop existing at any time now.
