So will we see a Joe reaction!? Is it good enough of a show he needs to see it I mean 😂

Not a good week for trees. The 1000 year old Major Oak tree in Sherwood Forest died this week. It’s always sad when old trees dies but that one had historical significance. Hopefully the Arcane tree fares better.

They think misinformed conservation efforts contributed to the Major Oak’s demise so it seems like we still have a lot to learn about tree conservation.

Oh my god I CANNOT wait to watch your reaction to the rest of the episodes!!

I'm not as taken with this show as [Kevin] is, there's just too many flaws to get it anywhere near my list of favourites. To be clear, I do admire the creativity, the conceptual artistry, and the voice acting. The magic nuclear power (Hextech) versus the magic steroid sludge (Shimmer) is an excellent narrative arc / tool. The sibling versus sibling is a great option for good reason - it's a tried and tested tale as old as time. But Arcane doesn't handle it all that well, IMO. The angst whenever the sisters run into each other is repetitive - Arcane veers into telenovella territory far too frequently. Sisters going their separate ways is fine, but the divergence here really strains credulity. One becomes so deranged that she seemingly shouldn't be able to make herself breakfast, let alone suddenly function at a very high level when the story demands it. The other becomes an elite trusted soldier in the opposing army that killed their parents because... Those criticisms don't stop me from enjoying the show (and I can see why for other people those things can be what make the show so compelling to them). I just need need more.

The Sevika/Jinx dynamic is my favorite part of this one. Sevika is a character that has a low key, but compelling little background story in the first season, where we get a pretty clear sense that she's an idealist in her own way. It's just that her loyalty falls with Zaun, above individual people or even moral codes. Sevika turned on Vander not because she hated him, but because (in her eyes) he demonstrated that he was not fit to lead the Undercity to freedom. And she came close to turning on Silco for exactly the same reason. Meanwhile, she hated Jinx in Season 1 because she viewed Jinx as a distraction to Silco from the greater cause of Zaunite independence. But here, we see her and Jinx reach a form of rappochement as they start to realize how similar they are in many ways. And I think Sevika also sees that Jinx could be a unifying figure for Zaun in a way that Sevike herself (or even Vander or Silco) never could - Jinx is hugely charismatic, and she singlehandedly delivered a greater blow against Topside than any Zaunite army ever has in the past. But we also see that Jinx seemingly has little or no interest in the Zaunite cause herself. Which is consistent with her character from the first season, and is the source of the distraction that enraged Sevika about her in the first place. Time will have to tell whether these two can find long-term common ground in that regard. But in the meantime, we get that amazing sequence where Jinx gives Sevika her new arm, and we see in real time Sevika falling for Jinx's charms in her own way. Because these two women share more than just irritation at playing second fiddle to Silco for all these years. Let's not forget - Sevika's a *gambler.* She loves her card games, her games of chance. And as frustrating as the randomness of Jinx's new arm may have been for Sevika during the opening stages of her fight with Smeech, we see her start to enjoy the little slot machine game over the course of the battle, and by the end, she's full on reveling in it. Without a single word of dialogue, Arcane communicates why these two women are connecting on a *spiritual* level, even though on paper they still have ever reason to hate each other. This type of visual storytelling is Arcane's best magic trick, and I think its deployment here makes for one of the second season's best moments.

I think Arcane does an excellent job of justifying the divergence between the sisters. Jinx/Powder may be deranged, but the show spends a substantial amount of time and effort showing us the circumstances that led her there. And someone being crazy doesn't mean they can't be terrifyingly competent - far from it. Jinx never loses her intellect or capacity for reason. It's just that she's fighting for that reasoning through layer upon layer of hallucinations and trauma. I think the show does a fantastic job of communicating the logic behind her actions. As reprehensible as they may be, it's always crystal clear *why* she's doing something, whether it be because she's confused about whether something is real, or because her accidentally killing multiple members of her family has left her inured to violence, or occasionally because she genuinely thinks it's the right thing to do. Meanwhile, you characterize Vi joining up with the Enforcers as if it was something that "just happened because." When the entire first episode is built around showing how conflicted she is about joining up. Even that big closing scene at the end of the first episode where she has the big hero shot with the squad, she's the only person who doesn't have a look of steely determination. Instead, she looks lost, unsure, even a little scared. And that continues in her behavior in this episode. Where we're used to seeing Vi as powerful, swift, and decisive (often previously to her own detriment), instead she's uncertain, slow-moving, hesitant. She doesn't smile once. It's clear that being an Enforcer is something she hates. As for why the Enforcers themselves trust her, I think Maddie and Caitlyn make it pretty clear that the organization as a whole doesn't. It's the squad members themselves that do. Caitlyn trusts Vi for obvious reasons. Maddie looks up to her as a heroic figure. Loris (shield guy) bonded with her over shared drinks and loss. I guess we don't have much sense of what the fish guy's thinking, but three out of four ain't bad. Don't get me wrong - while I do consider Season 1 of Arcane to be one of the best seasons of television ever made, I have plenty of criticisms about the second season (which I'll bring up as they come up). But the Vi/Jinx dynamic up through this point, IMO, is one of the strongest aspects of the show.

Who had 'James Bond Heimerdinger' and 'Jesus Viktor' on their bingo card for this episode??

Alex

I second the request for a separate Joe reaction at some point too :)

Roland

Agree to disagree, but I really appreciate your detailed analysis, thanks so much!

Late reply, but wanted to say thank you as well! Appreciate the thoughtful discussion.
