i choose to believe in a beautiful pre-canon where sid wright made a direct reference to/joke about sam kincannon at least once on his show. i choose to believe sam did the same right back to him on hers. i choose to believe that, post-s1, she got just a little sad everytime she had to banter with any other media personality.
Ok so first up, the starting where they constantly shift between Carpenter and Faulkner, hmmm holy shit. Love it! And the difference between Carpenter being rightfully horrified at all this and angry even at Trawler man!!! Tell him girl!!!
Meanwhile Faulkner is exhilarated and almost high on it and even daydreaming about a future where he's literally cheered for and Carpenter and Paige are also there for him. He really wants to be Most Special Boy ever but this time with friends!!! Love that for him!!!!
Carpenter's angry voice has me like-
Have i ever mentioned I love her voice so much?
Anyway the fight!!!! Neither of them are listening to one another!!!! Not only that but both of them decided to strike right into their insecurities/trauma!!!! Deeply unwell behaviour I love!!!
And thing is they do care for one another at this point, it's pretty much why Carpenter was angry at Trawler-man and why Faulkner came back!!!! But also god!!!!!
Also Daggler is here, i guess. But also Hayward!!!!!!! Ok I knew Daggler was going to be a dirty cop, there's no way a series this critical of corporate won't also be critical of police, but also yikes! That being said, I love how Daggler wanted that toxic early season "us vs them" gay Daisira dynamic with Hayward, meanwhile Hayward is like no?? Fuck you??? Good to know he's got some morals. Or maybe he is still in love with his ex-wife/j (who apparently doesn't exist. A spoiler i still hate being spoilt about, this is something that I needed to learn about organically!!! While listening to the series!!!!! Not through random untagged tumblr posts on my dash!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH)
Anyway horrifying way of dying but I also really didn't care about Daggler so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And ohhhh the Wither mark is bad news really bad news. Carpenter is right, they really can't trust that thing with anyone. But atleast it got destroyed and the only person who could have remembered it hates the idea of it so all's well, right??? Right??? Hahahaha (we are screwed)
Anyway Paige!!!! Paige is here!!! And Sid!!!!!!! And ooohhhh holy shit Sid what did you do???? Good for him, get some rest buddy!!! And kick your boss's ass for putting you through all That™
