“WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS?!” while locked in a control room has “YOU WANNA WATCH THE DEAD MAN DIE AGAIN?!” vibes and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Heart is breaking all over again.
OWEN THOUGHT SHE WAS STILL ALIVE HE NEVER EVEN KNEW SHE DIED HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW. THAT AS HE WAS FACING DEATH SHE WAS DOING THE SAME. THEY DIED TOGETHER AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW AND I DON'T KNOW WETHER THAT'S A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING BUT IT'S FUCKED! FOR SURE! I need to eat the blades off my ceiling fan
Owen is so heartbreaking as a character though because you meet him and he is an insufferable prick, self-important, self-destructive but even in s1 there is this side of him that comes out whenever anyone on the team is hurt and it's so fierce and so kind.
And then in s2 you find out what his relationship with his mother was like, how he became a doctor because he thought his life would be worthwhile only if he could use it to save others and who he is up to that point just clicks.
Then he dies and he rages against his fate and wants to die for good and saves a stranger from doing just the same. AND THEN just at the end you find out this man was engaged to be married - despite all that childhood trauma he wasn't always this abrasive or afraid of commitment - until an alien literally hatched thru his fiancée's skull ☠️😭
sorry I'm just thinking about what it would have been like to watch exit wounds not already knowing what was going to happen? like this show is a doctor who spinoff. it's a spinoff from the show where main characters never really die, and jack is immortal. owen already died and came back to life this season. yeah, it's a show where bad things happen, where innocents die, but thus far all our faves have got away pretty scot-free. and yeah, everything looks pretty fucking bad right now, but all the team is downstairs, so it'll be fine, right? there's going to be a last minute hollywood-esque rescue scene, and we'll all cry about what a close shave that was, and it's fine. and then they fucking kill off tosh and owen in the same breath.
