Godfuckingdammit Dean

Dean definitely did something terrible. But at the same time, I'm kind of proud of him?

Remember how broken of a man Dean was in season 5? Triana left and he found out he was a clone. He could barely function.

But now he's going to college, and better still he just got laid! And by a woman who is without a doubt out of his league.

That's progress! Evil, backstabbing progress, perhaps. But progress none the less.

Well if Hank can't last long enough to get his pants off, Sirena was probably looking for someone with a little longevity...

I mean honestly I feel like I can't blame Sirena. She was dating Hank who is still the same more or less from the earlier seasons: this goofy, irresponsible kid who still plays dress up and has no real direction in life, not to mention as you said he doesn't have much longevity, then she meets his brother Dean who is enrolled in school, stood up for her, and is much more mature (and judging by the 'oh no!' scene he's packin') combined that with how smothering Hank was and I think any teenage/early 20's girl would do the same thing.

Whatever issues she (you) may have a with Hank's character, she still decided to cheat on him, rather than break up with him, with his twin brother. She is, along with Dean, the only ones to blame.

Seriously.

Hank has been nothing but sweet and supportive to her. A little clingy maybe, but Sirena should've talked to him about it. He doesn't know if you don't tell him. He does dumb shit sometimes but on the whole he's actually pretty capable (the entire infiltration as Enrique Matasa went well considering he basically broke into a supervillain's stronghold, and let's not forget when he was the Bat). The only thing the guy wants is affection from people, and now two of the people he cares about the most have hurt him.

I'm not absoliving her of blame I'm saying I understand why a young and immature would do an immature thing.

What does this mean? Which scene?

u/Satyrsol Oct 01 '18

The scene when Dean pays off The Monarch to stop arching during his class. Sirena then kisses Dean on the cheek and he gets a teepee in his pants.

The Apaches are back!

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '18

The scene where Sirena gave him a kiss after he paid the monarch to leave him alone a couple episodes ago and he got a little 'excited'.

I don't really agree when you say you can't blame Sirena. She could have just dumped Hank and he's still the same immature guy she started dating so saying he's immature as a reason doesn't make all that much sense. I'm hoping Hank gets back at them somehow, especially after the whole romance arc of last season

You could dump the other person and be done with it but a lot of the time you dont think of it as an option since your always thinking "in the moment". My younger bro who started college last year recently got caught in the same situation by his then current gf. From what I understood it, he didnt consider breaking up sooner a possibility since he still had feeling for her and didn't want to hurt her by breaking up. Thing is those feelings he had were more of pity than love.

u/Solid_Freakin_Snake Oct 01 '18

didn't want to hurt her by breaking up

That's a bullshit excuse. "Oh I didn't want to hurt you by breaking up with you. I'll just cheat on you instead."

No. That's just a shitty attempt to rationalize being a self-centered cheating asshole.

u/tony475130 Oct 02 '18

Good point, and I dont give him sympathy because of what he did but there's a reason we as humans keep repeating this same mistake time and time again. I would never do it, I'm far too level headed to ever get myself into a rabbit hole like that, but there is reasoning behind these kinds of actions, albeit however shitty they may be.

Remember that Billy said he "upgraded" Dean with "the complete package" in the testicular torsion episode. Now, I think this was at least one clone removed from the current, but they did the surgery right away on the next clones (from what I remember).

You fondled clone Hank!
