Lmao Mark tells Kregg to fuck himself like he isn’t gonna put all that goo to waste

Debbie briefly blaming Mark

It was one of those parts in the comic that I didn’t like on first viewing, but that was when I had a very naive understanding of how grief works. Grief doesn’t just consist of crying. There’s blaming, self-projecting all from despair.

I kind of wish when Debbie was destroying the dishes two episodes ago, she should’ve blamed Mark for trying to take the fall because SHE wanted to. A brief moment of weakness despite not understanding that she could have been killed if not for Mark.

I did kind of like what they were going for last episode where Debbie’s obviously untrue thoughts that she was responsible for Nolan’s violence are validated by one of the victims’ loved ones. I loved that part because it was something that you could fear the most and it could happen to you anyway. But it just kind of feels repetitive in this episode. Debbie just gets visited by another person who feels sympathy towards her, but I wish it was a lot more deranged, and not just to shady people like Cecil.

Yeah that was easily my favorite part of the episode. I got really giddy when I saw the black and blue, I’m really looking forward to how non-readers will react to it.

I’ll be honest… this episode felt like a let down. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the adaptation of the Mark/Debbie downer drama and how Debbie became more and more snappy during work. I also loved the adaptation of the sea kingdom story. But a lot of it just felt like meandering to me. Oop, we gotta introduce Ben Schwartz’s character! Also, the Rex Splode drama! The drama felt more forced than usual.

Also, I’m really not on board with Mark and Amber’s relationship, though most of that could be chalked up on how their relationship is written last season. It just felt too shmaltzy for me. We don’t even get Angstrom action until the very last minute.

Still gonna watch the next episode, though.

That wasn’t in the book, and it made the whole fight scene better.
