oneiriadPoint the first against the mysterious new person in the show: she clearly has bad taste in media. Just ask SecUnit.
Point the second: yeah, that bit I've been dreading since the trailer.
Seccy???
Oh, look: actually scary Murderbot pinning Gurathin to the wall. Yes, good.
(Am I misremembering or did they skip part of the conversation here?)
Poor, paranoid Gurathin. Hopefully he comes around in the show. I prefer him as Murderbot's friend it doesn't like, but we're still a bit away.
Please tell me sexually harassing SecUnit is against the rules. Bad DeltFall or possibly undercover GrayCris person. *hits repeatedly with folded up newspaper*
I am happy that they've gone with Murderbot is aro-ace - I just wish they hadn't taken the "everybody else seems to be going overboard in the other direction" way of showing it.
First among equals? Is Preservation proto-Roman empire now? (Or did nobody else read those novels?)
And cliffhanger.
Also, Mensah - it didn't hurt Gurathin. It pinned Gurathin to the wall without causing him any physical injury. It made a point, nothing more.
You know, the show is starting to grow on me with the last couple of episodes. Less cringe, more action. I enjoyed SecUnit and Mensah working together at the end. (And I need more SecUnit interacting with Gurathin, and less Leebeebee interacting with anybody, femme fatale wannabee or not).
