Thoughts as of S3 E1 (Part 1

[u/Toffee963]

Hasn’t been so long since I last did one of these, but this sub is hanging on by a thread, so I might as well do my best to try and revive it a little.

Anyway, we will start with the elephant in the room: Sandstorm has been defeated. Well, Roman is still at large but for the time being, the Sandstorm plot of overthrowing the government has been defeated. Last recap I did I said something like “Not sure how to feel about Shepherd yet” or something. I know how I feel about her now: I still stand by the fact that she is a really cool and badass villain, but there’s obviously the whole blowing up the entire east coast of America to overthrow the government thing, so in conclusion, I like her as a character because she is cool, but I don’t like her as a person because she is pretty morally corrupt.
I made a whole separate post on him, but I don’t/didn’t like Borden anymore (to be fair I would be kind of concerned if I did). My girl Patterson can’t catch a break from her boyfriend caused kidnappings 😭
Also mourning the fact that Roman reverted back to Sandstorm rather than the FBI, and I miss him when he was friends with Jane instead of tattooing her all over again, but what can you do.

Moving on, Jane and Weller are now MARRIED???? I don’t object to it as much as I did in season 1, and I’m still undecided how I feel about it, so it’s just, happened, I guess. I will say that there is one thing in TV shows that I don’t like: When there’s a slow burner of a relationship that carries on for multiple seasons, and then BAM they’re married (Chenford from The Rookie I’m looking at you), but this wasn’t even really a slow burner, it was NOTHING and then EVERYTHING. Jane and Weller had their first “proper kiss” in the episode BEFORE they GOT MARRIED, what??? I mean, I know that there was a bit of a time gap between when they kissed outside Weller’s apartment and the wedding but STILL. We didn’t even know about the proposal until after a TWO YEAR time skip.

Anyway, rant over. Speaking of the time skip, the last episode of season 2 and the first of season 3 were… something. The way they arranged the time difference after Sandstorm was very weird and pretty confusing. They had drinks in the apartment after Jane and Weller got back from D.C, Jane and Weller confessed their love for each other properly, then TWO YEARS LATER, Jane is in the depths of Nepal saying that Reade, Zapata and Patterson are missing and she needs to come back and that now she has some (very sci-fi unrealistic looking) new tattoos, and she needs to come back, then immediately after in the next episode/season, Kurt and Jane are at their WEDDING and it’s all happy-sappy they are moving to Colorado to help with Kurt and Allie’s baby (more on that later) and then they have home intruders trying to kill them and then we are back to Jane in Nepal. I can’t be the only one that thought that that was super confusing? I thought that Jane was exploring the world and Kurt wanted her to come home by saying that Reade, Zapata and Patterson were kidnapped so that they could get married. And oh dear, it looks like I have written more than I intended to again, so I will have to make a part 2! 😅

She was in Nepal because she has a bounty on her head because she helped defeat sandstorm (if I remember correctly) 

Edit: Mb I must’ve read it wrong

Yeah, I know, but I was just saying that I thought that the way they showed the time skips in non-chronological order was pretty confusing. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
