The Roci

Here’s that official art I mentioned that I haven’t seen anywhere else online.

I can't get over the fact that the illusive man would say "his file (kaidan's) is well classified." Like.... God, imagine having all the resources of cerberus and you still can't access the file of this one dude who is considered "boring" and "average", "bland" and then you see that his history is classified because he's canonically one badass mfer who killed his bully of a teacher while he was a teenager.

Continuing the topic of ‘women who deserve better,’ I’m tired of Monica Stuart being framed as an annoyance, both by the narrative and the fandom. Yes, she was a hack in Season 3, but she’s clearly grown as a journalist since, and the world needs journalists who actually give a shit about uncovering the truth. Surely the past few years have shown us this? I found it especially irritating in Season 5 when she nearly died uncovering information about the illegal protomolecule research, and Holden and Fred just… cut her out completely? I get why those two characters don’t like her, but the way it was framed made it seem almost funny. It’s then repeated as a gag later when Monica is shut out at the party, again by characters the audience sympathises with. 

I really hope they come through with that begrudging respect though. The I-don’t-like-you-I-won’t-like-you-but-damn-if-you-don’t-hold-your-own attitude. Kind of hoping for that particular smirk/laugh that’s not really one of pleasure, it even looks kind of feral, but it’s not exactly negative either.
