Compassionately intolerant

Lactokinesis-Guy was very creepy

Man! That baby face with the cold steel glare was really chilling.

is that even dairy anymore when it has been metabolized

Well spotted!

Yeah, the dairy still in the stomach should work, but metabolized proteins? Hand-wavium!

The minute that Curtis said he was lactose intolerant, it was pretty clear how how things were going to pan out.

Right. Though the twists of just how the obvious occurred were really inventive.

My one concern with the way the awesome stories are unfolding is that they are getting pretty cavalier about killing people. The body count is getting pretty high. It could be tough to maintain sympathy if they don't try some more creative solutions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They are getting pretty cavalier? That was the first time they've killed anyone in episodes. They kinda slid past the last one.

But I'm totally down with it. I don't think killing murderers is unsympathetic behaviour.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

hold up:

they killed the dairy guy?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I'm assuming happened after they knocked him out. What did you think?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It never occurred to me that they killed him! OMG.

Apparently Lenscrafters gave me a naïvete coating on my lenses instead of the scratch resistant one I requested.

Compassionately intolerant

However accidental it may have been, Nathan pressing his needs on Daisy leading to her death was glossed over pretty quickly. The whole conversation about the various skeletons in their closets, while kind of funny, really gave me pause.

And then there's the preview with Simon making a declaration that doesn't, with the given information, seem to be about self defense or the greater good.

Don't hear me attacking the show. I love it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Didn't they also kill Goody Two Shoes Girl?

Didn't they also kill Goody Two Shoes Girl?

Well, it was another more-or-less accident; Nathan dragged her off the roof with him. Nathan seems to have that effect on the good girls (though Healing-Girl should technically still be alive, now).

I'm in the camp that didn't think they killed Lactokinesis-Boy, though now you mention it I'm not sure what they did do to him after punching him in the face.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

oh i'm positive they killed him. if they didn't, what's to stop him from going public and still killing people when he realizes he's not the coolest kid with powers in the room?

I assumed they killed him, but really wished they'd come up with something fancy so they didn't have to.
