The season has become so tedious. I am sick to death Monroe's angst and redemption train. How does Connor restarting the Republic give him any kind of redemption? When Monroe was in charge he was a cruel dictator by all accounts and nothing he does now changes that. This is all about making Bass acceptable to the fandom so that they can squee about Milo.
I like that Neville always the realist pointed out the ridiculousness of Rachel in particular defending Monroe. I don't like his attack on Miles regarding "man love." I found the comment to homophobic and it screams of more Milo slashbait to me.
Charlie seems to be coming into her own and is quite a different character from the first season. She is strong, independent and able to handle herself in a tight spot. Bass doesn't want Connor to have any connection with someone other than himself and he knows exactly how capable Charlie is. I don't like that she is being written like Yoko Ono breaking up the Beatles.
Alright we all want to know what is going on with Aaron and the nanos. I don't quite get yet how this storyline fits in with all over the others and it continues to make Revolution feel fractured. Obviously, they have shifted back in time with Aaron and the only questions is, is this for real, or is Aaron in some sort of freaky dream.
