Closing thoughts on Episode 09: Stormwatch

* Starts off on a smaller scale (city-wide conflict, eventually has far greater, further-reaching implications that become relevant for the arc)
 - Do not like that Horn appears to still be alive, while Outcast is unceremoniously killed off-screen--
  = In hindsight, I'm slightly at peace with it. Very slightly. Outcast, despite being more of a character than Horn, didn't have much of an arc to go. Horn, despite being a massive bootlicker for Victoria after all the horrors she's seen, at least can stop doing that in the future.
+ Positive: Legacy characters are being hinted as being RELEVANT for these future chapters
- Negative: Legacy characters are being HINTED as being relevant for these future chapters
* Horn doesn't even "die" in a cool way- Mandragora decides to sod off because she's distracted by Harmonie's callout post on Twitter-dot-com, which causes her to die taking a bullet for Bagpipe. This is pants.
* ACTUALLY I REALLY HATE THAT OUTCAST DIED. HYPERGRYPH, GIVE ME OLD WOMAN YURI YOU PUSSY-ASS MCFUCKYDEES!!
 - Her cause of death isn't even built up whatsoever-- Six faceless schmucks who aren't even that relevant. Why do we even bother with buildup?
* Mixed feelings on Reunion's raid of Rhodes Island- neat moment of people trying to find answers, but it feels kinda... forced?
 - I'm not sure if it really is wrong, either.
* WHAT THE FUCKL WHY IS THERESA ALIVE?
* MaN
* MaN(dragora) is an interesting character, I wish she didn't die, so we got to know more about her. Oh wait.
 - She was such an interesting character, and they did nothing with her.
  = It's not even a Frostnova moment. They dropped the ball with her.
* Not really liking that Rhodes Island is forgetting about the Infected here
 - I get it-- It's a relevant concern that an Elite Operator exploded and also they're a people's rights organization
  = But I'm really hoping that they also remember that they are also an Infected rights organization
  = Maybe that's what Reunion is for? IDK man.


Historical revisionism section:
* Outcast doesn't die, because the Six Stooges of Dublinn don't exist.
* Reed is the featured 5* on the banner. Not sure if as Medic or as Caster or as Vanguard. Definitely want her as Vanguard, because...
* Bagpipe as the featured 6* on the banner. Probably left as-is, but also this is SUPER spooky.
* saileach can also feature ig
* I think it'd be interesting if Horn/Bagpipe worked WITH Dublinn/people who were sympathetic to the cause
