No they didn’t. They began at Planned Parenthood.

Did you forget to sign out and sign back in with a burner when you replied to yourself?

The shooter is a white evangelical Christian male.

Awwwww I tried to post a gif, but I’m incompetent.

Alright. I’ve just had me some glorious bottomless mimosas so this is going to be sloppy, and I ain’t going to Rupaulogize.

Luke is insanely independent of Jessica. That’s kind of his whole deal. And the sex they have, while vigorous, was not “Jessica in control.” Not at all. Remember how he told her he’d break her? Remember how he initially was on top? He lifted her up against a wall another time? Just because at one point she was on top…

Actually, I think you nailed it. It was the sparseness on the pier that felt like a bit of a letdown, especially after the hospital, and I think I was so on edge the whole episode that it was the “feeling of looming terror with no satisfying payoff” that made me feel a bit cheated. But that is more true to life, and…

Whoop.

Exactly. It was the stress level that you felt even when he was just being “charming” that made it feel so realistically frightening. And isn’t that how it is with abusers? He doesn’t seem sinister or menacing all of the time, in fact, in some scenes he was downright charismatic (they knocked it out of the park…

This comment.

I’d like my remains to be scattered on the beach!

What’s wrong with that? There is nothing wrong with a man being submissive in the bedroom. Doesn’t make him any less of a man, or any less strong. In fact, it’s fairly common with men who have a lot of responsibility, or have to be in total control in other aspects of their lives. It’s nice to actually see those kinds…

His skills were from the military. That was his experience with dangerous men. But the one they’re dealing with has the ability to use mind-control, which rendered his skills pretty useless. So even though he has experience plotting ambushes, he has no idea the capacity of the person they’re dealing with. Which was…

And all they know of him is that he tried to kill Trish and then jump off a building because he was under mind-control. So, right off the bat, those “couple of girls” (who are grown-ass adults) should automatically trust him because he says he has “extensive training with dangerous men?” Especially when they saw what…

And the guy down the hall’s sister is a total nutjob, Luke’s fuck-buddy was a cheater, the lawyer’s ex-wife was a vindictive sad-sack...

Oh, please. That’s just not true at all.

And his one night stand, and her best friend (who has super powers) have no reason to believe that this guy who just tried to kill one of them and then splatter himself off of a building because he was under mind control is qualified to waltz out of the bedroom and hijack their plan just because says he was in the…

Right? Especially considering he had just tried to murder one of them and then jump off a roof because the very guy that he thinks that he can just go take out with his ~skills had him under mind-control.

Oh, you are definitely right about that.

Which is a shame, because he’s missing out on what good characters Luke, Malcolm, Trish, Jessica...so many of them are, because they get to be complex people, and not just tired stereotypes based on narrow gender roles.
