Join us as we discuss topics such as:


Doesn't have quite the same draw as season 1
Missing some of the emotional hooks
Dev's predictions were Wrong...
Maddie is adorable
The tank is gong to be fun
Jayce should have died instead of Cait's mom for narrative reasons
Shifting characters without having to introduce new characters
Roads to Hell paved in the best intentions
Good at showing the moral greys
More action orientated, to the detriment of the relationship/intrigue beats
Ambessa (aka Mel's Mom) will be our intrigue driver against the Black Rose

Cait:
- Going full authoritarian was unexpected
- Committing just some minor war crimes while chasing down Jinx
- Nice to see her taking more center stage
- Her family was more humanitarian than originally shown in Season 1
- Could have used some more buildup to the tactics being used
- Moral compass clearly broken in her trauma
- Has become the opposite of what she wanted in the first season

Vi:
- Doesn't have a full race in the Jinx hunt any more
- Relationship with Cait feels more solidified
- Will she need to stand against Cait, or back her?
- Will there be emotional conflict surrounding "saving" Cait?
- One dimensional or straight forward/Stoic


Jinx:
- Feels like there is more Powder than therwas in Season 1
- Savika relationship looks fun
- Clearly Jinx is still latching out for stability with her

Savika:
- Nice to see how she protected Jinx
- Tempering force for Jinx?

Jayce/Heimdinger/Ekko:
- So how is the magic going to affect them
- Science bros be science bros
- Will they have gained or lost abilities?
- Ekko will need to be pushed to the forefront
- Ekko is Angela Confirmed

Viktor:
- Needed to go his own path
- Trying to clearly help
- Will he become an antagonist somehow?
- Is he in control still?
- Will he be a mirror for Cait?

Hexcore:
- What is happening
- Clearly affecting all HexTech
- How will this interact with the Black Rose, and the tested Shimmertech
