#unless they give us a rewritten history of Berlermo consummating their love in which case YEP more love pls

When the trailer and promo stuff came out, I thought keila was gonna be the most annoying character, but to my surprise, i kinda liked her, and the only love story i cared about a little bit was keila&bruce (yes, it was a big cliché, but they were cute imo). what are your opinions about her? anyway, the show had way too much romance and too little heisting.

I wasn't the most positive about the spinoff (it's all here on Tumblr in my whiny posts about it from last year when it got announced) yet Keila is the one I was curious about from the start - one nerd gal to another, I guess. I kinda like her too! Maybe I'm projecting but the horny, nerdy girl isn't a foreign concept to me - although I'll tell you what is (no, not just that particular level of horniness) -- the fact that everyone takes her seriously. Unless I missed something, I don't think anyone ever questions her competence. Not only that, but she did stuff that's, for all intents and purposes, impossible (didn't she "hack" into something from a boat somewhere? Still behind on the rewatch, sorry) Anyway, LOVE the idea of a woman in STEM not having her skills or intelligence questioned (not my experience, or many other women's in STEM). Her terminal horniness is a series-appropriate level of camp and okay, I guess I can buy a 36 yo hot, virgin nerd girl? I also love the fact that she's older than the rest of the team, although I'm basically her age and I wouldn't have been able to go past her initial instinct of, "but he's 26, a baby!!"

As for the too much romancing and too little heisting -- welp. I think it was one of the first ways Alex Pina described the series - literally the first things we knew about it was that it would be about love and heists. (pls excuse the hastily done screenshots during that Tudum event back in 2022)

That said, yes, I'd have loved a lot more heisting, although I was kinda prepared for this I guess.
