my problem with the bbc lotf Jimon Arc isn’t the fact that it exists and deviates from book canon (it’s actually quite an interesting take on and exploration of their dynamic!), it’s the fact that there’s no real payoff. I was very excited for Jack’s reaction to Simon’s death, only to find it was kind of… brushed off? I don’t know, it was just really disappointing and I wish we got to see jack trying to grapple with the fact that he was a major player in the death of his best friend.
