Also, have you guys seen this?? I won't link it because the site isn't SS appropriate but LOOK. Number Five appears to be pulling his cart with Dolores in it - but it's pictured on the wallpaper of the nursery. Some people are saying that it means that Reginald Hargreaves knew all along what would happen to Five, and maybe about the apocolypse! Or could it just be the set designers being funny. What do you think?

SPOILER!!: pic

Number Five is the best character though in my opinion. Hands down. Klaus is a close second for me.
It's so binge-able, isn't it? I've watched it twice now and I could easily watch it again.

The casting was superb for all of the characters, but I love Aidan Gallagher as Number Five. How did he manage to portray a 58-year-old man stuck in his a 13-year-old body so well?

Yay! Who is your favourite character so far?

I also want to give a shoutout to the soundtrack of the show, it's PHENOMENAL. The songs work beautifully with the scenes, and honestly they kept me going through my binge when the show hit a few pacing problems in the middle there. I can't wait to see what happens next!!! And I hope they somehow keep the kid actor for Five, he was amazing and I'd hate to not see him next season
YESSS! I'm so happy that you loved it!

I agree that Luther seems to be getting the short end of the stick. Though, to be fair, his judgement is often questionable. I mean, locking Vanya up and forcing his siblings to go along with it??? Maybe Vanya would still have caused the apocalypse anyway but maybe, if her family had been there for her (and listened to Allison) instead of confirming for Vanya that Howard/Leonard was 'right' about how family view her, she wouldn't have. I know Luther is only doing what he thinks is right but...is he right?

YES. YES. YES. THE SOUNDTRACK. I especially loved the 'Run Boy Run' and 'Sinnerman' scenes.
