That was kinda fucked up of Allison to (*spoilers*)


Make that guy kill his own brother, yeah i get these guys are trying to kill you, but she could've gone about it another way like said "I heard a rumor you forgot all about us and why you're here", she could've just wiped their memory like she did to Vanya when she was a kid.

Thanks for the spoilers, dude!

Omg when will people learn not to come to the board of a show before they're done watching it? get it all watched, then come on here and discuss it. I never come onto the board of a show before i got it all watched, cause i don't wanna get spoiled, cause theres a 90% theres gonna be a post spoiling something. But of course theres always someone who comes onto the board before they got it all watched and then get mad at someone for spoiling something.

Also its not even a huge spoiler anyways.

Anyway, I just got to that scene, and no, definitely not feeling any pity for the freaky Swedes.

In fact, would have served them right in that moment if she rumored them to kill each other.

Of course it does not hurt to put spoilers in a title either,

Should a person watch every episode before they come on and ask a question about a season 1 episode? What if the series has 6 or 7 seasons.

People should not avoid posting about a show that they watch just so others can avoid writing "(spoilers)" in a title.

I personally just finished season 2 and did just what you said but I should not have had to do that . I did it because I know there are people who are so engrossed in their own opinion of a show they do not think to put spoiler in the title. I am glad you did.

He did after I commented. 😊
The "kill his brother" part was originally in the subject line.

reply

ahh. THAT is a spoiler I would say

reply

That was super fucked up I agree, it made the remaining brother even more bloodthirsty too! As far as someone coming on this board when they haven’t finished watching and get upset about spoilers . . .that’s just dumb, or he/she could be new and will learn that lesson now.

it made the remaining brother even more bloodthirsty too!

How do you figure?


reply

Didn’t you see how enraged and ashamed he was after he killed his brother? He ran away instead of finishing the job because he was so disturbed. The first brother received a true Viking burial (being sent out to sea on a burning raft) so he wasn’t just a mindless killer he cared about his brothers. He would get even more vengeful after that, killing the handler who sent them on the mission instead of just the mark.

reply

Well, that wasn't what we saw happen on the show. If anything, he mellowed out after those events.


reply

He tried to cut off his own hand because he used it to kill his brother, he had a flashback and as really upset over it.

reply

I agree, but the other brother would have just re-reminded him of the reason why they are there with words and by example of continued violence towards allison and her husband, a very temporary single solution to a dual problem. When faced with immediate mortal danger to self and family, natural basic instinct does not dictate a choice of the lesser/least violent offense against the attacking predator.

reply

She only had time to rumor one of them, but needed to take them both out. Also are you suggesting killing your brother is in some way worse than killing a stranger? That only feels true until you think about it a while I'd say.

reply

While killing your brother and a stranger result in one human life being terminated, if you were a person that had no qualms about killing people in general then it would be worse if you were forced to kill someone in your own family. If you don't understand that then you are the one that needs to think about it for a while.

reply

Okay I kind of get what you are saying. But those guys are hired assassins who have killed countless people, why should she care about their feelings? If someone broke into your house trying to kill you or your family would you be concerned about their psychological wellbeing? Wouldn't you just be in survival mode?

reply

Yeah, she nearly got Olga Foroga killed!

reply

Those two are really like Tweedledee and Tweedledum. 😄
