I'm kind of liking how Mayor Ben has a "friend" now in Harry.

Loving that Linda Hamilton is getting to play a goofball.

Not enjoying Asta's trauma and the unfortunate timing.

I forget - does D'Arcy know about Harry being an alien already?

I think that D'Arcy's being helpful purely on her friendship with Asta and doesn't know the truth about Harry.

Go D'Arcy!

I'm pretty sure that D'Arcy found out after they fell down the crevasse? I think?

I skimmed s01e08 again; D'Arcy climbs out, passes out, and by the time she gets help to crane Harry up the crevasse, Asta's got a ski mask and goggles on Harry.

When they get to the clinic, Asta tells D'Arcy to go get help, then Asta drives off before Harry gets unloaded/ looked at. D'Arcy goes, "What the Hell?"

Very happy for the new season! Can't get over how likable most of the characters are! Still a bit baffled at Asta's pain/sadness/confusion over killing the bad guy - I have no doubt that killing someone can be traumatic, but when that someone just shot your friend and was no doubt going to do it again - and then likely kill you, too - well...she did what had to be done.
