Hey Kelsea. Sorry I'm late to the party... or the wake. LOL. I've read everyone's comments and your responses, and I think I might shut up. I want to comment so much, but I think I'll give you a month or two to calm down. 😂 But this is why this show is so good. It pushes buttons. Soon you will be cheering for Fe, Helena and Krystal and crying for other reasons. Never seen you so riled after an ep ever. Wow! Until next time, C U then.

But that's my point. They should have assumed that someone would be there who would recognize them. They need to start assuming that a lot of these people know their faces. They're not thinking. And I disagree with your point about Krystal. She wouldn't have been there, alone, in that situation in the first place if we had let her be part of the team. Which is my whole point entirely. She keeps putting herself in dangerous situations because she's desperate and she doesn't know enough to avoid those situations. We could help her avoid them. But we don't. And then we shrug and say "see it's a good thing you don't know anything!" I don't think that's fair. Especially when she HAS been kidnapped and held hostage as Rachel. And she didn't know then. Didn't exactly protect her. I am withholding judgment on this season for now though I promise. I have a feeling the second half will be better lol.

I didn’t get to watch your whole commentary bc I’m so busy but 😭 First I think you misinterpreted the Alison and Cosima situation. Originally, Alison was supposed to go with Donnie and Cosima just replaced her. So it wasn’t like Cosima was being dumb and Alison was being smart. They were both trying to get info on Brightborn and they didn’t know Evie Cho was going to be there. Also, I understand your frustration with clone club, not informing Krystal about being a clone. But I think how Brightborn treated Krystal this episode shows you exactly why clone club doesn't want her to be self-aware. If she was a self-aware clone, do you think that Brightborn would have just let her go like that? In a way the sisters are trying to protect Krystal. But yes, it is frustrating that she keeps getting put into shitty situations. I think as the season goes on, you will understand why it’s my favorite season. I think there’s a lot to come and I think the season does a really good job of tying in past, present, and future. Personally, I think all of the seasons are good so it’s hard to even pick a favorite; so I would avoid trying to come up with a favorite until the very end lol Anyways, I love the show and it can be really frustrating, and very real, but I think that’s why I love it so much
