Actually, I donāt think Iām ever going to stop being pissy about the fact that we never learned what happened to Blevin. Heās built up in Season 1 as Dedraās main foil within the ISB; a guy whose competent complacency has been rewarded with six sectors; a guy who follows the rules not because itās the right thing to do, but because 1. Itās easier than breaking them to solve problems that could otherwise be ignored or passed down to someone of lesser rank, and 2. Itāll get him promoted. Heās close to Dedraās age, but a big deal is made about her youth while Blevinās āclimbed higherā in comparison and heās not much older. Heās irritating, and heās arrogant, and most if not all of his attendants seem to be women which does make me raise my eyebrows, but. He was a central component of the Imperial plot in Season 1, and heās a massive, unresolved question mark in Season 2.
We donāt see him have a Ferrix-scale failure at the end of the first season, so itās not likely he was demoted. Yet, heās not there a year later. Was he promoted out of Partagazā office? How would that work, considering Lagret seems of high rank and still reports to Partagaz? Did Blevin transfer to a different sector? Did he quit? Did he die? We donāt know. All we know is that Heertās sitting in his chair, and while I understand the narrative juiciness of pitting Dedra against her former assistant, itās sad, to me, that Blevin doesnāt even get a line of dialogue to explain where he went. He has some of the best lines in the show, but he vanishes without a word.
Might be a weird thing to say, but Blevin deserved better. Orā¦ maybe not better, but he deserved something, at least.
