Thanks for opening Twisty!

I gotta ask, in the episode art did you purposely position Olivier so that he was in line with the tree branches?

It caught my eye and then I couldn't stop giggling over him being part of the tree.

God I must be really tired.

It was not intentional.

It does look like he's growing out of the tree. That's the magic of self-directed evolution.

Disappointing.

I think I might actually like this episode if all of the focus on Paul being a creep didn't culminate in him being "redeemed" without being redeemed at all. As it is, definitely my least favorite episode.

- Proletheans are really on a low budget, aren't they? Tomas lost track of Helena easily, then ~restored her to health~ by giving her some water in a hovel.
- Donnie's improve skills nearly rival Tatiana's.
- Sarah/Kira's reunion is the most precious thing.

- Be more obvious, Delphine.

- I still hate how the paper burning scene ruined the mystery of Alison's monitor. I wonder what exactly was on those papers though.
