Re: people’s concerns about JC coming back in S2 and playing the Jesus role I think he’s really already had that arc and fulfilled his narrative purpose and won’t come back. He literally saved Ava from drowning, gave her shelter, and food. Figuratively he saved Ava because it was due to her feelings for him that she made her first selfless act and tried to protect him from the tarrosk. It’s also why we no longer get voiceover after that point it’s no longer about her and what she feels and wants

Hmm, those are all pretty fair points and really, it could very well go like that even if it hadn’t been originally planned, considering who audience feedback. But, we know how reluctant TPTB are to listen to feedback they consider as niche as this, and I also don’t know if they’re really willing to just have no young good-looking guys in a full season. Or good guys in general, since obviously Vincent can’t be trusted.

Plus, the voice over stopped because they just realized they didn’t need it as a narrative device, according to Simon Barry, so it didn’t really have any deeper meaning than that. I can see it both ways, really, that some writer will be like, it’d be weird to not bring back a character so integral to Ava’s effective reintroduction to the world while other writers will agree that his purpose has been fulfilled.
