    I have to disagree on Wuk Lamat having a character arc. She essentially had a straight line. She was written as essentially a modern take on the Mary Sue.
    She had a very unrealistic juvenile idealistic outlook and approach to every situation and rather than have this aspect challenged, the writers warped all sense, logic and reality to ensure that she succeeded.
    Her beliefs are never challenged, she succeeds at absolutely everything she attempts while only requiring basic "you can do it" encouragement. At 12:08 you mentioned that she started out not really grasping the situation that she was in and that didn't change. When we went to living memory she was the only one there that didn't understand that the Alexandrians there were not alive/real. She flat headed forward with some need to talk to all of them to "get to know them", something that didn't serve any real purpose in the narrative, and then acted exactly the same way with Sphenebot. Cahciua even flat out said "We are not alive, we are simply facimile's created with the memories of the dead" and Wuk just didn't seem to get it.
    Honestly, I don't dislike the concept of the character but she was different in a lot of ways from the Wuk Lamat we met in 6.55 and not in good ways. It would have been far more enjoyable, personally, if she had been competent and intelligent and had been the one taking us from place to place and teaching us about the cultures that she already knew very well. We should have been there to assist in the tasks, not give a basic education. We read 3 or 4 library books in 6.55 and it felt like we went in knowing more about Tural than she did.

      I think a better term for her is a "Black hole Sue". She just sucks the energy out of everything because everything has to revolve around her.

    Suk Lamat has got to go, Krile was done dirty again, Y'shtola and Thancred go back to the first

      Yeah I was really hoping this would have been a little more centered on Krile. As we both said, we didn't mind Wuk Lamat as a character, but more should have been done involving the scions.

      @@MaxedOut.Gaming I was really disappointed that her whole reason in going was to follow in her grandfather's footsteps and to find out about the earring but they didn't even let her open the gate with it. That just felt wrong.
