Such a pivotal scene, kicking the genie right out of the bottle permanently! Not even a polite wakeup call! Still a great fight scene also
But such a lapse in judgement by all parties involved...
Let's start with Luke, the only real 'adult' in this arrangement, who completely abrogated his parental responsibilities and his basic responsibilities to keep Elle safe and away from anything that might trigger her. He knows, as do Logan and Tom, what she is capable of. Instead he mostly leaves her to Tom and Logan, two 17 year olds preoccupied with a high risk birthday party, for education and training about any interaction in this new world.
These two, caught between adolescence and adulthood, were not showing brilliant decision making leading up to and during this escapade. Logan couldn't keep his mouth shut about the party, hyping it up with irresistible details, knowing Elle was likely to come on her own. I think he wanted to see her try out the course in front of their friends and dazzle them. He was too dense to see what could happen, with the beer flowing freely in this crowd. Both Tom and Logan cound have intervened and gotten Elle out of harms way, but were acting like 17 going on 15. What a mess.
Perhaps the only good thing coming out of this is the realization on Ellie's part that she wasn't going to be punished for just protecting herself, she wasn't in the land of monsters anymore!
Cheers and Good Health to all the family Jenny, and hope for a good harvest!!!
Sorry I've been neglecting you, but life is playing havoc with me these days. Uhm.. Let's dive into this one...
I'm so glad someone appreciates my fight scenes! I'm always a little worried about being somewhat heavy on the choreography but... tsk. This is one of my favorites. Elle in her element, showing up soldiers, like they're the kids. Poor creatures that they are, must feel terribly inadequate by comparison. Elle is terrifyingly efficient here too.
I really wanted this as a showcase of how awesome she is, and very much in a league of her own, but still vulnerable to betrayal by those she trusts. And sure, a wakeup call for all involved. If they didn't know before, they do now, that they aren't dealing with a normal little girl and care needs to be taken in all respects.
Anyway, you've commented previously on Luke's free parenting, this is yet another lapse from a man who took in a couple of boys he clearly wasn't ready for, then added a broken girl on top.
At least Elle knows she is safe from being punished for her mistakes, hey? Although the lack of punishment does send her into a spiral of confusion over the actual boundaries, doesn't it?
Great to hear from you Frank. Thanks for keeping up, and for digging in like you always do.
