Since posting I've come to realise the actual issue i have is her comparative lack of development when contrasted against the importance the story places on her.
I'm betting the show will improve on her story, assuming they get more seasons after this one.

The obvious example is when Mat and Nynaeve are talking and Galad interjects. Nynaeve tells him straight up that she doesn't need his help and he flatly ignores her. I'm sure I'm missing the vocabulary to describe this type of misogyny appropriately, and I'm sure that it was missed by some.

Yeah I honestly think that the beats I wrote off as confusing or ill thought out were the symptoms of season 2 being the equivalent of the middle book in a series. All of the setup, none of the payoff.

Still mad about perrin axing Bornhald but I'm more willing to see where it goes now.

You just know that Lanfear went off and hit her head against a wall repeatedly for having shown even a single iota of weakness before the children.

That being said I'm now more interested in where they'll take his story with this than I was at the end of s2.
Giving Dain more of a focus as a character and cutting Padan Fain out of his story is a solid idea, I think. It has the makings of a way more interesting character.

All in all I'm super fucking impressed by not only Call of Cthulhu but my gm, who is a brilliant story teller.

Also it felt good to pick Photographer arbitrarily and have all the skills that came with it be pretty reasonably useful.

There's also the extremely engaging roleplaying concept of trying to wrap my head around roleplaying someone who truly believes they live in the real world and has no concept of the horrors behind the veil.

I understand there's cosmic fuckery going on, but my character doesn't.

Like do I actually _want_ to understand what I am seeing? Do I want to know more about the situation my character finds himself in? Do I want to comprehend the horrors?

The answer is not only No, but FUCK no. But I already committed to my action and now I'm rolling the dice and peeping the horror.
