No offense at all but doing a Big Shocking Reveal that only leaves the viewer confused because its "shockingness" hinges on the presupposition that a character knows something the show has given no indication as to whether they know it or how and then only explaining how the character knows that via flashbacks in subsequent episodes AFTER the Big Reveal is... not the best storytelling device

#thoughts no one cares about #really want to like pluto because the plot has soooo much soapy potential but man #they really dropped the ball with the whole 'GASP! may knew it was ai-oon all along!'#and 'GASP! may knew the twin she fell in love with when she was a schoolgirl was ai-oon all along!' reveals #like how am I supposed to be shocked that zomg may knows!!11!1 when... we didn't even know she knew oom had a twin?#and if this is from the book it's no excuse bc if you're adapting smth you can't assume people are gonna go in with book knowledge #like am I going insane?#it's so wild to watch these shows when you're neutral/indifferent to the main ship #because all the writing inconsistencies start to jump out when you're actually here for the plot or to watch a good story #and are not just frothing at the mouth waiting for the next time your ship gets to share screentime #once again I'll see this one through bc it's too late to quit anyway and I AM still curious about how it will all end #ALSO the preview for the next episode shows oom finally wakes up! ohhhh YASSSS the DRAHHHMAHHH #hopefully it lives up to its potential although I have my doubts with how Big Reveals have been handled so far #oh well c'est la vie
