season 6b was actually fine but maybe let thiam get a better dynamic, yk?
when theo returned in 6b it was as if 6a hadn’t happened to theo and liam.
because in the end of season 6a, the last time we see thiam is when theo saves liam and uses himself as bait and when liam decides to steal a horse to go into the hunt, theo goes "are you kidding? i went through all this to keep YOU from being taken!!"
and then we never see thiam again until season 6b.
they are in the sheriff's station and theo was also there and the hunters had surrounded them.
and when theo walks in and faces the pack, liam immediately steps forward and he is FURIOUS and he is literally ready to attack theo.
theo, who had risked his own life to save liam's the last time liam saw him.
i can buy liam not trusting theo completely yet.
liam isn’t naive. theo betrayed them before. trust takes time.
but what i expected after 6a was something more nuanced.
liam is wary, not hostile.
or if he’s angry, let it be for an emotionally interesting reason.
“you almost got yourself killed.”
instead the show kind of presses the reset button.
this kind of scene would be nice;
someone suggests using theo as bait again.
liam immediately says “no.”
“no. we’ll find another way.”
that would’ve been such a nice mirror to theo’s sacrifice in 6a.
i just needed some acknowledgement that 6a happened.
being the bait scene was historical AND highly significant for thiam fandom BUT it took thiam to mostly nowhere in my opinion actually
