My Reactions to “The Bright Sessions, Episode 53:”
All I can honestly feel from listening to this episode is that I’m CONFLICTED.
I’m conflicted because I think Sam had good intentions with what she was doing, but at the same time it went overboard to the point of it hurting Mark and others. As for whether that damage can be worked past...well, we’ll have to find out in later episodes. I feel so bad for Mark and Sam and what they’ll have to work out between them because of this.
I do like that we got to hear from Damien again, even if it’s only for one scene of sorts in this episode. Knowing that he’s out of the others’ lives and he’s living his own life is...for some reason, I find this actually kind of relieving that Damien is away from all the current drama. However, it also makes me worried that he’ll get pulled into it again.
I know Damien is far from being a saint, but knowing that it’s basically made 100% clear in this episode that he DOES care deeply for Mark (even if he did go about it the extremely wrong way) is...kind of sweet. Damien is a love-to-hate and hate-to-love character for me because he has all these complexities to him regarding his own powers and his attitude around everyone and everything, and what he does with those makes me understand him or outright dislike him.
Three episodes left! I can’t believe we’ve made it this far already!!!
