So like… they ruined Molly this season! Hopefully they’ll get a season 3 and fix it up!

Yeahhhh, not really a Molly season, was it. I don’t consider her ruined, Luna was pretty clear about what she wanted. 

Of course, Molly could have stayed in town and shown up at the trial even if she was blocked visitor access, that’s something the writers decided to not go with. I guess they wanted to continue their drifting apart storyline, which was there from the start, we just thought it was going to be temporary and something they’d work through. Molly tried to be supportive but she’d had such a rough time of it before and seemed to want to catch up on all the fun she’d missed out on. 

Tbh, they’d foreshadowed it from the very start:

I don’t know if the ending implied they’ll come back together after this, having grown separately, or if that’s the end of that, but I wouldn’t rule out a reunion in s3.

That scene between Luna and Molly broke my heart! I’m literally crying!!!! She kept saying “baby don’t, baby” :'( :'( :'( and all joanna and luna’s scenes????? Were fucking amazing! jesus they are gonna kill me

It was so emotional! And I get it, I get where Luna’s coming from, ironically the same place as Juliana in Amar a Muerte, but in the same way, it’s totally not their decision to make. 

It’s still a little bewildering to me that they glossed over why Molly seemed to be absent in their relationship lately. Of course we’re past that now but it seemed rather pointed that Molly wasn’t even picking up the call Luna placed from jail. I have a bit of a theory that I hope is totally wrong and really has no actual backing, except for how TV writers like to go for the most unexpected killer, but…what if Molly killed David? That’s why she didn’t pick up the call, that’s why she was crying when she realized Luna’d been picked up for it and why she was so sure Luna hadn’t done it?

I really, really love Joanna being so much on Luna’s side. I was afraid her doubt would be one of the bigger plot points for this arc, and it might still come up later, but at the moment, Joanna would do anything for her, probably the only person in the world with that status.

Speaking about Molluna. Omg thank you anon for mentioning their name. And damn i ship them REAL HARD, i don’t want them to break up but i think they’re not on a same page this season ??? i bet Luna didn’t kill her dad cause she’s too smart to do that kind of things. I just hope they won’t break my baby’s heart in this season

I mean, it’s already broken. She’s in such a terrible place. But maybe this is her rock bottom and now she’ll get back up? 

I do think that they’ll go on a break, maaaybe, or maybe fight a bit more, but they should end strong. It’s just that kind of show, right? The David stuff was telegraphed pretty clearly from the start of the season, and the rest of the writing just makes it seem like they’re in a bad place because of Luna’s seething anger at the world and current inability to compartmentalize, possibly brought on by being a bit depressed? She could probably benefit from therapy, anyway. But this obviously changes things and I don’t know what she’ll do.

Thinking more on it, I feel like, unless they write her a bit OOC to fit the plot, she would ‘fess up to it immediately if it was her. Right? Practically be proud of it. I dunno, I guess we’ll seeee.

Hi! Just wondering, have you been keeping up with Burden of Truth? I think the premise is interesting and so far, the storylines got me hooked, and Molly and Luna have great chemistry, and the show doesn’t shy away from the fact that Luna is Native American. So far, I’m starting to love how Joanna and Luna are bonding together.

I’m one ep behind (or two, by now?). And yeah, you’re right, it actually improved a lot from the first ep! I started liking it enough to be like, but where’s the next episode, but there was that weird long hiatus…which I’m only realizing now was probably for the Olympics. 

And definitely the more Luna, the better. Similarly to how I was surprised at STDisco’s “twist” in bringing back Philippa and now Counterpart’s amazingly increased role for Clare, I didn’t expect what seemed to be a minor WOC role to be as important as it turned out to be, and the way they increased it was great! That last ep was fantastic overall, and I actually looked up Luna’s actress to learn more about her and was pleased with the show for not hiring somebody who wasn’t Native American. Molly and Luna are definitely super cute, and if you remember my tags from the first ep, I was actually very protective of Joanna, so I’m happy she’s getting to be happy.
