Oh, goddamn it, this show. I was hoping I'd get to say some opinions finally, considering how the end of season 1 left me completely speechless, but really, what is there to say? Goddamn amazing, especially that Vander scene. Wow. Him being alive caught me completely off guard. The moment the "beast" said "Powder?" in the prison while holding Jinx, I was like: "OH SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT CAN'T BE!" but yup, it was, lmao. I'm kinda surprised you didin't realize it immediately - especially considering you said the face reminded you of Vander - but then again, I can't blame you, because this show is, apparently, a HUGE mindfuck, lmao. Especially regarding the hex-tech stuff! That is something I'm the most ineterested in now. What, exactly, is "the Arcane," and what did it do to Viktor? That whole scene with the magic stuff happening while Vi was fighting Jinx was SO TRIPPY, so I'm very curious what it all means! Your time travel suggestion was an interesting theory, but a part of me is hoping that it's NOT the case - I've had enough of time travel shenanigans for the time being, because they're ALWAYS so confusing to comprehend, so if this show's magic system starts to fuck with time as well, I'm not sure I'll be able to understand what's going on AT ALL, lmao. And speaking of magic, I'm also VERY interested in the "Black Rose" thing - I wasn't expecting an entirely new magic system to be dropped in the middle of the season! Or maybe that magic is also based on the Arcane? So many questions, and I'm sure that the show will give some excellent answers, if the quality stays this high all the way to the end. Very excited - and once again, very, VERY scared - to see how this all resolves! The whole season was SO INTENSE up to this point, so I can't even begin to imagine how much more intense the finale of the season is gonna be. This has been an AMAZING experience so far!
EDIT: Oh, and also, FULLY AGREE about that spoiler thing you mentioned!! I'm currently in the process of watching Avatar the Last Airbender with my friends, and I can only meet up with them once a week, so progress is slow. Currently nearly to the end of season 2, and I've been trying SO HARD to avoid spoilers, but EVEN SO, just because we're watching it, I've constantly been getting ATLA related recommendations, which I've been trying my best to avoid. Once I was scrolling YouTube, and got a video recommendation called: "Aang VS Ozai, but-" I couldn't read it to the end or see the thumbnail, thankfully, because I was like "NOPE NOPE NOPE" and immediately scrolled upwards, but it's SO ANNOYING :/ So yeah, definitely not worth googling ANYTHING of a show you're watching, because the algorithm will inevitably notice, lmao.

omg ok i just finished ur reactions of the first two episodes and i canโt stop myself from commenting for any longer ๐ญ
i agree 1000% about feeling weird about vi/cait - i do too. (and i am saying this as a lesbian so pls no one come at me ๐ฅบ)
AND ISHA BBY sheโs my beloved lil girl (the lil girl jinx adopts in case u donโt remember her name)๐ฅน๐ซถ
i love how much you felt for the caitlyn scene with the funeral in the beginning of ep1 , i cry every time i watch it, itโs just so heartbreaking ๐๐
and the way caitlyn and jinx parallel each other this season, is imho MASTERFUL and im here for it every step of the way.
the one thing i donโt like, like you michael, is vi wearing the fucking enforcer badge. iโll never get over it lol itโs just so wrong on so many levelsโฆ
alright iโm gonna continue ur reactions now till i just gotta comment again ๐ญ๐ ๐คฃ
