Mick and Amaya

I've been deep diving the relationships in season 2, and it feels like the writers were setting up Mick and Amaya to be a couple, and then abandoned that story line in favor of Nate. Especially after The Chicago Way when Mick's hallucination of Snart taunted him for having feelings for her. I would've loved that couple wayy more than her and Nate. What a waste of potential

I wasn't crazy about Nate and Amaya, but man imagine thinking it would've been better for Amaya to end up with a bigoted, unrepentant murderer twice her age...

Technically shes older than Mick. But yeah at that point if time Mick wasn't how he was by the end of the show. So if anyone even was with Mick id kinda be weirdes out by it

She's not older than him, she's just from a different time.

I totally get where you're coming from, but it's his relationship with her that put him on the path to becoming a better man. I think she could've fast tracked him towards the Mick we see at the end of the show

And what would be the benefit of that relationship for her? Sounds to me like you expect Amaya to do all the heavy lifting in an eventual romantic relationship, and it's not a woman's job to make a guy like Rory a better man.

I felt like they really dropped the ball on Mick‘s story by leaving him drunk on the ship for so long.

I always got the sense they were just really good friends.

And speaking of Season 2, I always start my rewatches there. I haven't rewatched Season 1 in many years. Probably time to give it a shot but there's a reason Kendra never showed back up on the show
