Like ... Are they a viable build or just an accessory?

Just finished the 1st Kara scene and my heart is breaking.

... With shortness of breath you explained the infinite

The scene with OA/Nina in the foyer of Treasure Island, her back to Homer, is probably my favourite of season 2.

Beginning so powerfully with the OA standing with her back to the camera. Even from her stance you are aware she isn't the same woman any longer.

Nina's confidence ripples from her, but the smile, the smile is OA. She exudes a warmth that she'd lost for much of the season.

By suppressing Nina she was suppressing part of what makes her so powerful; her love.

As she rides in the elevator with Homer, she has fully reclaimed that power.
