| Great discussion...I think.
Just a passing tidbit of my 2 cents worth to add:
I get the overall impression that the shapeshifters weren't really allies with anyone.
It would be interesting to explore the dynamics, cause & effect, etc. of the shapeshifters having no free will to obey Max.
Is it ever established that they have to obey any other Royals?
I'm thinking of the shapeshifter offing Hank, which saved Michael's secret from being revealed, but also put him under suspicion.
And shapeshifting into Max ostensibly to lure Pierce away from the real Max, but then using Liz to lure the real Max into Pierce's snare.
Of course it was probably just the writers trying to keep us guessing, which begs the question of whether throwing continuity to the wind is just a style, perhaps based on the evolution of various superheroes in film, comic, book, etc. |
