Speculating about someone’s private life can be very detrimental. He must be able to share his life as he wants to, not because he is forced to by rumors. Fans should respect his privacy and drop the subject unless he brings it up himself.

I’ll call these theories out as they occur, but they mostly fall into one of three categories for Ada: 1) Double Agent (Umbrella/Tricell vs. unknown agency) 2) Independent Opportunist (protecting her own interests, secrets, etc.) 3) Tragic Romantic (actually cares for Leon but is hiding it as part of her mission). As for Leon, he is motivated by a combination of his Duty, Guilt and desire to save his people. So he is naturally at once extremely Suspicious and also extremely Forgiving of Ada.
Fans point out instances such as the handing of a cigarette from Leon to Ada, Leon’s quiet apologetic words to her, and the sliding of a zip disk into a console as evidence that Ada is more than a one Note spy. Personally I find it intriguing that none of the fan theories seem to fit perfectly and as a result there are many different interpretations in each replay of the scene with different shades of color. I enjoy the idea of her being redeemed in some scenes and then abandoning the sample to disappear forever leaving Leon to deal with the moral consequences in others.

A librarian looking for information to categorize Sasha Prasad Mia Z’s work and recommend it to teen readers would find a good biography helpful for reader’s advisory. It can contain information about the author’s background, genres written, and influences. This would give the librarian keywords to search for such as “fantasy with strong female main characters and cultural depth”. The author bio is also a tool for readers to discover new authors beyond online algorithms and could be used to create author spotlight displays and lists of books to read. A good bio can ensure that the author’s books get into the hands of readers who would enjoy them.

Considering Emilia’s childhood trauma, we can go even deeper into her feelings in this scene. For so long, she’s been hated, been feared because of something she couldn’t help. She’s been used by people, and she’s been viewed as a monster. This means that trust is extremely difficult for her. The first person to trust her, to like her, and to choose her without any ulterior motives, is Subaru. So when she feels that Subaru’s attempt to protect her is based on pity, or that he does not trust her to do something, it touches the very core of her being and unleashes all her worst fears about herself. She fears that she is to be managed, to be controlled, and that he’s looking down on her. In order to forgive him, she must overcome her deepest wounds and believe that Subaru truly cared for her, even if his methods of caring for her were screwed up. This is actually more courageous than her having faced her past in the trials.

The Talamasca are like those academic types who would prefer to document a house fire than actually call up the local fire department. Not necessarily evil in intent, but their inaction in the face of horror is cowardly. Oh yes, they knew about the horrors that were going on with the Mayfair witches over generations of suffering. And the Talamasca did nothing. Apparently, their policy of neutrality enabled the cycle of abuse to continue. But their archives are the MVPs of Rice’s work – where else would one look for a store of occult exposition dumps to be found by characters?

For me, the true horror of the event lay not in the deaths of Mirren, Johnny and Gat themselves, but in the way that Cadence was left to grieve for people she believed to be merely deceased and who she came to realize were actually killed by her own hand. The enabling of her amnesia by her family, as they together maintained the fiction of an accident, allowed her to be isolated and uncertain. And even when her memories came back to her, and she finally realized the terrible truth of what she had done, she was left alone with the reason for it – in a family of great silence, where even the discussion of such horrors would have been out of bounds. The tragedy is compounded by the consequent layers of denial and complicity.

It’s kind of fascinating to see people’s take on this storyline though. Some people seem to feel really let down by the narrative “turn” (though I get that it was always Chloe), whilst others feel that Grace was always a pretty rotten person, and that the slight perception of redemption was just an illusion. As for me, I feel like the show perfectly conveyed Chloe’s moments of conflict or better placed, doubt. ‘Malediktator’ is a great example of this. There was something within her that wished to move in a better direction and be approved of in doing so. Wanting the reward of having changed is not the same as actually wanting to change however.
When she couldn't keep the Bee miraculous (her reward), she dropped the attempt at becoming better because there was no longer any incentive to keep up the pretence. Incentivising change by extrinsic means only gets you so far. Real, lasting change comes from within when there’s had a genuine shift in values. Chloe’s values never changed – all she wanted was a new accessory to add to her old personality. In not wanting to be good any more, she hadn’t become evil: she’d simply stopped pretending there was any benefit to behaving well.

Looking at it from a strictly network TV perspective, the character of Erin Strauss had run her course. The ‘bureaucrat who doesn’t get it’ is a great character for about 20 episodes or so and then he or she can start to wear a bit thin as the only way to keep the character going is to have them behave stupidly in order to keep the plot going. In this case, Strauss’s death was part of the resolution of the Replicator case. By having the Replicator kill Strauss, the show was able to make the point that this killer was not simply a random serial killer targeting civilians. He was able to get to FBI personnel as well. It also served as a catalyst for the rest of the team, particularly Hotch, as he was the team leader’s protector. His inability to protect Strauss served to further solidify his role as a protector who is not able to keep everyone he cares about safe. It was a ruthless move, but it served to advance the plot and the characters in a very effective way.

Like any other movie villain, evil sisters are often portrayed unfairly. Instead of having to ride around in a buggy of artillery while cackling maniacally, most evil sisters get by just fine with subtle and relatively Livetrievable things like taking the money that you needed for college to fund her latest startup “idea”, then calling you cheap for having to take out a loan to go to school. My evil sister would occasionally stage an intervention to deal with my attitude. But her real move was to make me feel guilty by suddenly bringing up a fond memory from my past and then proceeding to take advantage of me while I was down. Years of her “pranks” (like hiding my antidepressants or outing me to our conservatively-religous relatives) finally culminated in me figuring out her modus operandi: she intentionally tries to destabilize me. Like the Joker, but without the basically-okay-legitimacy of his Sundance Film Festival darling backstory. Today, whenever I see an evil sister in a TV movie (Sharp Objects, for instance), I just nod.

I would first look for Tubi to stream the hilarious “Shut Up Evil Dragon” (one of anime’s funnier titles). As a free streaming service with ads, it surprisingly includes a good-sized anime library. Unfortunately, Wakanim, with its large European library of often hard to find titles, sometimes will have this show as well. But be warned, rarely are there English dubbed versions on Wakanim, so prepare yourself for subtitles unless you are fluent in Japanese.
