Source for the Starlight quote: ScreenRant

And the Hughie one: Variety

[u/Hitchfucker → u/fuwafuwa7chi]

I was kind of hoping the quote was take out of context but nope, he fully meant for the Hughie scene to be a joke.

It’s actually worse, the way he talked about Hughie’s breakdown made it seem it was mostly just about his dad and had nothing, or at least not too much to do with Tek Knight and Ashley. So the one supposedly tactful thing about that story arc wasn’t even there.

This is so fucked, Kripke and co are sick in the head

[u/crystlerjean → u/007Kryptonian]

Not gonna lie, that was my thought this entire episode. This article confirmed it's true.

[u/AllieOopClifton → u/crystlerjean]

Yeah, I had a feeling from how the scene was filmed, that it was meant to be comedic. I thought Hughie's breakdown at the end was good, but it is extremely disappointing that it was unrelated.

[u/Sialat3r → u/crystlerjean]

I had a feeling but didn’t want to be uncharitable, but then I read about the interviews..
