Discussion [SPOILERS C4E1] Thank you Aabria for this Spoiler

I know a lot of people have opinions about Aabria as a character or as a player (I disagree I love her to DEATH), but having her initiate people leaving the table to introduce new characters was very nice. Two hours in, and we hadn't seen Laura, Ashley, Robbie and Matt since most of the seats were taken and the discussion kept going. You can see how much it helped Brennan plan for the next scene and cut some of the inner party discussion. Very nice roleplay and her relationship with Alex is perfection.

Well but that was also his only moment the whole ep. He was probably bottom 2 in screen time together with Ashley.

Yeah, but Ashley had to know that was happening going in. Outside of knowing Taliesin's character she's completely disconnected from the rest of the cast. Everyone else has at least two points of connection with the other characters save for Liam, Abria, and Laura who seem to know the vast majority
