You know I make a lot of jokes about how James Goss is kind of an (incredibly) inconsistent writer, and I definitely have my problems with him. But god I love the Owen and Andy dynamic he created.
He took two characters that literally never interacted. I’d have to check but are they ever even in the same frame? I don’t think they are?
And you know what? Not only did he make it work. He added onto Owen’s character themes. Contrasting Owen’s struggles with what his death means for him with someone that just has the exact opposite vibes. A sunny person that’s generally pretty optimistic against Owen’s cynicism and hardened shell. It’s the classic buddy cop/odd couple dynamic. But like…the way it’s done just adds to both of their characters.
Gooseberry kind of drops ball, like I get what it was trying to do but hmmmm….I’ll wait for to the follow up to the cliff hanger there. But god I just love their dynamic. OweAndy supremacy.
