Okay. It looks cool. We now resume our regularly scheduled program.

The plot is what causes a character to develop in the first place! For an example, without the whole John Clarke/Frobisher Gem/Poppy thing, Jerome would have stayed as the troublemaker he was in season 1. I just thought of something--wouldn't Nina going through these challenging mysteries have turned her into a confident leader? Instead, she was a whiny bitch who all of a sudden had a pure heart when she did nothing but have PMS the whole season. The only reason she was a hero is because she was born on July 7 at the right time. Woooooow. Back to the character moment thing--if the plot is not what really matters in a scene, then what does? Are you talking about the minor things, like facial expressions and stuff? Wouldn't things like that be the character reacting to the moment/plot? What else would they be reacting to? A character can't do anything if they have nothing to react to.

That one time she saw Senkhara, she was threatening to kill them, so it was kind of hard for Patricia to stand up to her! That makes me think of another thing--I would have liked to see the other Sibuna members reacting more to Senkhara. I mean, wouldn't it be really creepy to have your friend saying that she sees an Egyptian ghost? If I were one of them, I'd be looking around, like 'is she here? Where is she?' I'd be really scared. I'd think Amber especially would react that way since she rooms with Nina, and Senkhara shows up wherever Nina is. So Amber potentially could be in a room with a freaky Egyptian spirit at night, but she hardly reacted to that. Because only whiny PMS Nina could see/react to her.

Oh, it was for sure better in season 2. It doesn't exactly have much competition from season 3! I just wish...I don't know, I feel like it's missing something. Maybe it's because of the letdown of the plot in season 3. I feel like it needs something more, but I don't know what. I think I just wanted to see the plot continued in season 3. That's a kind of plotline/development that can span 2 seasons rather than 1. And they couldn't exactly pull a Joytricia and make them never interact again because they're father and son. I wanted to see Eddie make Mr. Sweet prove himself as a better father before he could truly forgive him. Eddie was very hurt by Mr. Sweet, so it would take him a while to forgive him despite the whole Osirian thing. He didn't get off free in season 2--Eddie was really mad at him--but of course, he did in season 3. In season 3, Eddie couldn't be ANYTHING but the Osirian. He was the living, breathing, walking Osirian, nothing more. He wasn't Mr. Sweet's son, he was the Osirian. Ugh, if only we got backstory...if only...I think that Jerome and John's relationship plot was better partly because they had more time. It started early in season 2, whereas we only found out that Eddie was Sweetie's son mid-season 2. It should have gotten development time in season 3, but NO!
