Echo/November: I ship it! I think it's mainly Miracle whatserface's fairly great acting, though. There's something really... !!! about her. A pathos. I mean, because as written onscreen, November is admittedly a tad complex, but mostly kind of weak. I did not appreciate how the Personal Quest ep was all 'The fat sad girl has fat girl sadness. And of course she has a kid because being fat is totally like being pregnant! Oh, and her mission in life is to cry. And even though other people's ninja skills resurface when they have time to be themselves, emo is what surfaces for her.' In spite of this fail, the actress brings an extra likeability that makes me want to give her the benefit of the doubt. And to slash her with Echo.

I've mainly been bored by Agent Ballard's white male plotline, but the last few episodes he has been quite funny. And his little moment of heartbreak in the last episode when November came out to him as a doll was actually quite affecting, and caused me to revise my opinion upward a bit.

After the whole DeWitt/Victor thing last time, it's getting hard to keep the relationships straight! Kinda incestuous. I didn't appreciate the 'Let's show DeWitt's ~feminine weakness~!' I get that he MEANS to be problematising exploitation and that it's probably intended to be an 'exploration' of feminine strength and weakness. I just... it's like when a joke is funny, but not for the reason it was supposed to be funny, you know?
