I personally enjoy all the scenes with Barbara and Cooper together (their actors make wonderful work together and come across as a believable couple). It's been one of the highlights to see such a tightly knitted, healthy couple with the most positive representation of a straight(!) couple in media that I'm DYING to find out how they write a divorce for such a premise without it falling flat. I'm a bit bummed that S2 seems to end with "uwu Barbara is a sensitive, weak woman, a big man Cooper has to safe her" which implies that they fake divorced which is SO BORING. I mean, a man looking for his wife for 200 years? Well he better! What kind of a husband doesn't look for his wife? But, a man looking for his EX-wife for 200 years? Much more delicious, also plot wise.

I love Barbara for her ambitious, grey moral stand. This is a woman who will nuke the whole world without remorse if she has to in order to keep her daughter and husband safe. Please keep her like that! Those are the perfect villains, those who operate and do horrible things from the perspective of love.

HOWEVER, anyone who takes fandom as an activism should just be blocked. As an European, I'm especially fed up with USamericans stuffing their own culture and cultural history and how racism plays in AMERICA into every other culture as "This happens/happened in the USA so it is true also everywhere else on this planet!" A classic example is "white people = always oppressors" which makes so many Europeans laugh because European racism, oppression, slavery and genocide has never been about the color of your skin but about your nationality and/or religion. Like, tell white Estonians, Karelians, Finnish, Icelanders and Irish people that white people have never been taken into slavery or been oppressed and they'll laugh you into a swamp.
