Phil, we have just watched a season where:
Nate barely interacted with Ava, despite being her first actual friend from the team
Behrad was killed halfway through the season, which kind of ruined the ability to show his and Nate’s friendship
That weird bit where it seems like the writers forgot that Sara was one of the first teammates that Nate hugged, and that Nate was one of the people who kept Sara from closing herself off in season two
Nothing was done with Nate and Gary’s friendship, even though Nate had been one of the only Legends who befriended Gary in season four
We basically got thirty seconds with Charlie and Nate after their best friend died.
We’ve literally seen an episode outline that had Mick and Nate at Mick’s high school reunion, but Nate was removed from it and dropped in the darhkatom plot instead
There’s no point in saying Nate needs to focus on platonic relationships when the writers barely have him interact with his friends, especially the ones he’s been friends with for years!
