it’s a nice jacket, okay?

More Guardian re-watch ramblings!

*I think I appreciated the camping trip arc more the second time, possibly because I didn’t have to pay attention to the plot and could focus on other things.

(*Such as the knowledge that the ONE and ONLY time Shen Wei would wear jeans and a parka was truly deserving of appreciation!)

*Also I love Guo’s incredibly weak “we were over there” explanation after the ghosts show up.

*But not as much as I love the fact that the show didn’t explain the ghosts at all. They were trapped? Except Zhu Jiu freed some of them? And then they were never mentioned again. LA LA LA EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW NO GHOSTS HERE! And honestly, that’s the kind of deliberate ignoring of potentially tricky plot issues that I can really enjoy.

*The real question should probably be: what in the world did the SID bring in their backpacks? Not a change of clothes, obviously. (Okay, I think Zhu Hong did change once. Possibly on the drive?) And not any actual camping/hiking gear that they used at any point. Snacks, maybe?

*Lastly: what is Zhu Jiu’s actual power? Because I’ve been all ‘oh, it’s teleportation,’ but it’s clearly not just teleportation. The best I’ve been able to come up with is that he is able to use dark energy to move things, including himself. (PS: Is he wearing a bulletproof vest? Is that why he was fine when he got shot in the cave? Is that why Zhao Yunlan shoots him in the arm later? Inquiring minds want to know!)
