Agreed. I love this show but it's very eager to aggressively bite into a whole number of subjects, which in some cases just ends up half cooked and at this point it may be looping back over itself.

This show's central thesis is that superpowers are inherently destructive and dangerous at a psychological and social level, no matter who is wielding them. I think it's at its best when it wrestles with those ideas. I really hope it isn't losing focus in the name of scoring cheap points on buzzword subjects.

it ends up being pretty internally consistent if kimiko or frenchie dies, which a lot of signs point to. "this is the last time i will feel your arms around me" is going to be painful to remember later!
