  1. it's funny you bring up Bonnie Bennett cause I've done the same when talking about fans only liking Abigail when she's doing something for Raelle or defending Raelle. Unfortunately Eliot has referred to Scylla as being the forth lead a couple of times and seems to like the couple. ~~~~ Just some other thoughts. I really appreciate the comment Tally made towards Abigail about 'how she would follow [Abigail] anywhere.' This fandom is mostly filled with Raelle/Scylla/Raylla fans, so I've seen them wanting Raelle as leader and I've read some reviews where they want Tally as leader and this just felt like a nice moment in the show, where it confirmed to me that maybe no matter how special snowflake-y Raelle gets or how disillusioned Tally becomes, the leadership role no matter where they are or how big the group becomes is permanently filled by Abigail. I also appreciate that it didn't need to take Anacostia half a season or even the next season to become disillusioned with a person she trusted, at the same time, idk how long for this world this character is, I can see a few more storyline coming out of her like her continuing to train our unit even as they are hiding from the military or something. I think they should have made her a special guest star like they did for the actress who is playing Alder. I'm left wondering if Alder's actions in regards to President Wade will effect the government's response towards witches in general or just Alder. I feel like if there is a season 2 there is gonna be a sort of reset especially where relationships are concerned, with Raelle and Scylla, they'll be building them up again but possibly more slowly, but I don't know if Gerit or Adil are coming along for the ride which is unfortunate b/c I liked both Cravenwood and Adigail, and I appreciated Tally and Abigail both having asian male love interests which is rare ...unfortunately, the relationships don't seem to be building up to anything permanent.
  2. Tbh, I have no idea what Adil was upset/disappointed about. And yeah Ashley/Abigail is really getting the short end of the stick here, the only lead that hasn't shown her specialized ability, the only lead who can't establish a relationship with her LI and the only lead who didn't get a chemistry read with the actor playing their love interest.
  3. Here are my thoughts on this episode. I liked it. I enjoyed the euology Abigail gave about Libba, I liked that Libba was the short form of Elizabeth, idk that was just a nice little surprise. I like the mother and daughter scenes with Petra and Abigail, I'm always here for more Bellweathers. I do understand Tally being upset about Alder not being upfront about what happened, and Alder not even attempting to try and rescue those hostages, it also doesn't help that Tally could feel what those civilians felt which just adds to her guilt about being involved in their killing. And going off of Petra and President Wade's comment it seems like it is a big no-no to involve cadets who haven't passed basic being put into real military missions, but I don't know why that would cause distrust with the unit; being upset with Alder, yes, distrusting her, no, as both Abigail and Petra pointed out it's a casualty of war and the results of not doing anything could have been worse; obviously Alder puppeteering the President and the fact she's potentially looking into who was ratting her out is another story. Which, if the unit is in danger, isn't Petra? I kind of figure Petra would die eventually but now I feel like her life is in jeopardy, if there is a season 2 that would be the season I feel she's gonna die in. As for Scylla, Raelle, and Raylla, I don't care about the Scylla character at all, I don't care about their relationship either, I just started caring about Raelle halfway through last episode after she escaped the Elena Gilbert curse and started actually caring about her unit. So when I watch their scenes I feel nothing, at all. Continuing ship talk, I like Cravenwood, but I have no idea where they're going with this, I thought that these marriages were nothing more than contracts that could involve love in some scenarios, and with the convo Charvel and Abigail had, it made it seem like being faithful wasn't that big of a deal, and yet Gerit's wife seems to mind that Gerit and Tally have something going on despite the fact that the purpose for these arranged marriages are for babies and that there is no love there at least not on Gerit's side. And on top of that Gerit seems to not get that Tally doesn't want a third party involved in their relationship. I'm kind of over them at the moment. As for Adigail, it's like one step forward one step back with them, they have sweet chemistry and yet I'm hesitating on getting invested b/c they're not going anywhere, and it's laughable b/c people had the nerve to act like this relationship was rushed, when all the relationships are rushed and in this particular one, nothing has been established. I'm always thinking ahead, so I'm wondering once the Tarim's songs are released in some way will Adil and Khalida be killed as their purpose is no longer necessary or will they get to stay alive and be on the eventual side of the resistance, I know they have their beliefs but they could idk defend and protect instead of attack and wage war, I just don't know how far those beliefs can go in a world that's eventually gonna be about witches fighting for their freedom.
  4. Both Eliot and Ashley Nicole Williams have stated that Abigail is a blaster (the witches who do weather magic), Ashley even said that Abigail is like Storm from the X-Men. In the pilot episode where we see the older cadets making tornadoes I figured that was something blasters would learn once they left basic but I still expected to see something from Abigail at least once this season. Maybe that fight with Raelle with the storm brewing outside is all we're gonna get but Raelle fans think Raelle was the one behind that b/c we keep being told how powerful she despite the fact the only power from Raelle we keep seeing is her healing and knocking people out. It's just gonna suck and feel like Abigail got shafted if she's the only one out of the 3 who wasn't given an opportunity to show her abilities this first season especially if we don't get a second season, like hand to hand combat is all good but it's not the same ...at all and it won't feel fair.
  5. No problem, and you're right there is a lot of information being given on so many platforms, just found out about the exclusive content being put on comicbook.com
  6. The cession happened b/c the natives had magic which could keep Alder alive and they bargained it for land and the government agreed. And I don't think we're suppose to assume that people were less diabolical and therefore slavery was shorter but rather that witches took precedence, a species vs species thing instead of race vs race.
  7. To find a space where people see Scylla and Raelle as I do is such a rarerity for me. I agree that Raelle was less annoying in this episode but unfortunately I'm still waiting for character development ...and why is Abigail the only one giving out olive branches and being a friend when Raelle doesn't need to. In this episode I finally see the good acting that fans have been praising Amalia for, unfortunately I don't care about the character and I don't appreciate the fact that the show is trying to show her as a victim when she is a murder/terrorist; show me that both sides are bad, but do it equally, b/c trying to act like Alder and Anacostia rightfully punishing/torturing Scylla is bad, all the while making light of Scylla's actions is not fair or equal representation of "both sides are bad" It definitely feels like Tally has been put on the backburner at least until her confrontation with Raelle. Either way I feel bad that she won't have a chance against Raelle (and the mighty plot to always make Raelle right). I'm rooting for her and Gerit tho. It was funny to see a majority of everyone in the hashtag on twitter say 'Abigail you ruined the moment' with her last scene with Adil. I think they have nice chemistry that can only grow from here, that is if this is a long lasting romance for Abigail (i.e an endgame ship). I'm also wondering if her closeness with Adil, would be something Alder would keep an eye on, would Alder think that Adil being close with Abigail potentially puts those Tarim songs closer to Petra ...someone who's vying for her position and/or will Alder try to use Abigail/the Bellweather unit to get those songs. Also when is Abigail gonna show off what she's good at, both Raelle and Tally got to do it multiple times and Abigail gets stuck with doing basic hand to hand combat in one episode (great scene) but I want Abigail to shine with her magic too. I'm loving these side characters, and how they pop up from time to time, it's really reminding me of Harry Potter, I'm hoping these characters get prominent roles in the future since it's obvious the Bellweather unit will be going against the spree, the military, and humans, and they'll need all the allies they can get.
