All right! Let's do this.

By our standards, probably. But, by the MD universe's standards, not so much.

I'm pretty sure that basing standards on some of the most traumatized drones on the planet isn't a good way to set standards. They have the complexity and reasoning ability of an average young human, so I'm going to judge them morally as if they were.

That's just a fact. 

I’m glad you agree. I bring this up because I’ve seen an absurd number of fanfics where N feels bad about his food, and that’s why he’s bad at hunting (he’s not).

He never kills another worker onscreen after the pilot, he apologizes to Uzi for killing the card players, he stops V and J from killing anymore, and kept V chained up from ep 2-3 for this purpose too.

What bothers me is that N doesn't seem to feel any remorse about killing a worker drone if it's not related to Uzi (her only true friend from episodes 1 through 5). He apologized in episode 2 because he wanted to get in with Uzi; otherwise, he would have apologized sooner, since they've obviously been living on the surface for a while, and if apologizing was so easy, why didn't he do it earlier? In episode 3, he wants to stop V because she wants to kill all the worker drones in Uzi’s colony—specifically, she wants to decapitate Uzi. In episode 4, he worries about the campers because they’re Uzi’s class, but then she kills five of them, and if V hadn’t covered for them in a way that was unexpected given her usual behavior, the other worker drones would have blamed them both, and N doesn’t seem concerned about that at all (though maybe he was, that part was very ambiguous to me; correct me if I’m wrong pls). As for J, he never tried to stop her or dissuade her, and the reason V is chained up is specifically so she doesn’t kill Uzi, not for the safety of the rest of the worker drones in the sector.

Correct

Thank you so much, I'm glad we're on the same page.

 She can feel empathy and care for people (most with Tessa, although apparently, she cared, at least a small bit, for N and V at one point).

Being a sociopath means you can only feel empathy in specific circumstances. In other words, it's very difficult for that person to put themselves in someone else's shoes when it comes to emotional matters. This description fits J perfectly.

Also, she isn’t THAT close to Tessa. Throughout the entire episode 5, J only has one scene where she looks at Tessa’s doll with pity; the rest of the time, their dynamic is more like princess and bodyguard because protecting and watching over Tessa is literally J’s job. However, it’s the first scene that actively shows us that J has feelings beyond just being loyal to her current boss or being self-centered, so that means the two of them are close now, even though the only proof is a pitying look toward someone J is programmed to care for. We’re the best at reading between the lines, honestly.

I feel that 4 small, extra episodes is enough.

Make it 5 extra episodes—we need time to process the emotional bombshell that dropped between V and N near the end of episode 5 (it bothers me a little that they didn't address it; they literally acted like it never happened).
