Me: I love how relaxed Lloyd is about caring about what anyone thinks
Me: Should I worry how many characters I like are described as sociopaths?
I love how Lloyd and Rakshata are geek-flirting through the proxy war of military technological breakthroughs :)
The series reliably portrays the Britannian empire as "bad". I hope there's some self-aware projection there. But full marks for accuracy.
Right, now we do "put all the main characters on a mysterious isolated island together and have them interact". This is pretty good for generating character development. I remember the Game of Thrones tv show adjusting a lot of things to bring main characters coincidentally together EVEN MORE than the book which was great for characters (which was one of the strengths) but completely screwed up a lot of plot to do so; ideally you can have both.
