Thankfully my yearly rewatch has slapped the knowledge in my face.

For among dinosaurs, theropods are without end.

Feautring:

The Skull of Eodromaeus, the first "true" Theropod - Argall

Tyrannosaurus - Thragg

Therizinosaurus - Thula

Spinosaurus - Conquest

Giganotosaurus - Lucan

Carnotaurus - Kregg

Deinocheirus - Anissa

Allosaurus - Randee

Kara: "Mum, I'm doing EXACTLY what you told me to! Why, beneath the Eye of the Goddess, should I pick someone right now!? YOU said the decision is up to me, and I get to say who I can marry on MY terms!"

Carol: "In normal times yes! but like I have explained to you a hundred times before, WE ARE NOT LIVING IN NORMAL TIMES! Right now, we have to prioritize the safety and security of our community now."

Kara: "This is MY life mum! MY future!! What of my happiness? Who I pick is literally life changing for me mum!

Carol: "You have a DUTY Kara! Who you choose affects the livelihoods of all of Tridentsfall! Do you realize the fallout if you reject every suitor you see? Do you have any idea how lucky you are that you even have so many chances?"

A classic familial dispute of one's happiness vs obligations, in this case one that concerns the wellbeing of not just Kara, but the whole of Tridentsfall.

For Kara, she's feeling she's pressured to do something that, normally, can wait until one (an heir to a clan Matriarch) reaches their early thirtees, but for Kara's mother, these are not normal times.

With Merfolk feeling ever constrained by the expanding reach of landlubbers, and thus their secrecy harder and harder, some are looking for taking drastic actions as a solution to their problems.

Giving their citizens normalcy is paramount, a good match might be crucial to gain everything from warriors to protect the town or more resources to grow food or increase trade.

Meanwhile Kara is, in her mind, doing her best to make sure that she can make the most of a life-changing decision without potentially becoming trapped or miserable. You know, vetting, just like what her mum trained her to do.

No one talks about this scene or line, but it was probably one of the most telling lines on how Wednesday feels about Tyler and really the entire Galpin family, It came so early in season 2, that I don't think a lot of people really processed what Wednesday was saying.

But her line when she goes to Sheriff Galpin's house, and it's right before she enters, I assume Thing told her, "This is breaking and entering.." and Wednesday replied, "How can it be breaking and entering, if everything's already broken?"

Bruh...

That is such a heavy line.

Because it has multiple layers.

You can interpret it many ways, like she's saying, that everything around the property has already been vandalized and destroyed, so the house no longer feels like a home anymore.

Then there's the personal element, that the Galpin family, is already broken, there's nothing left for anyone to break, no more damage that could be done that could be any worse than what it already is...

And then here's the hidden Weyler element too it.

The way she delivered that line, it wasn't in her usual deadpan voice, you could feel her emotion in it.

She was also thinking about Tyler.

How Tyler is broken at the moment, how she is also broken because their relationship is currently broken.

So when Wednesday delivers that line, she really means, "Everything is broken."
