aren't about her guilt over falling for someone else but of how much she still loves him. In other shows the writers would take the standards of the audience about love or fidelity but in a post apocalyptic world they have bigger things to worry about.
Hell, yeah, and the writers respect that and never fall into the 'but it's TV' trap. Sarah's multiple love(r)s were really well handled--I never felt that Kyle was anything but central to her heart, but I also understood that she genuinely loved Charlie (who deserves a shoutout: I adored his character), it's just that the circumstances under which they met, the circumstances of Sarah's whole life meant that other things--many things--came first.

Sarah is always alright with being seen as a Bad Guy by others.
*nods* And yet she's not a psychological wreck. She understands that she's an outsider and a 'bad guy' in some contexts--and that she has DAMN GOOD reasons to be. She has no hero complex and is more heroic for it. Like the moment when she says 'we ARE a terrorist cell!' And I love that she respects other people's realities, even though she knows that their realities don't mean shit in the face of the apocalypse.

has so many explosions. \o/
YES. I love that as well as all the awesome plot/characters/female stories, it was also high-class when it came to action. Some of those set pieces were amazingly cinematic.

Both sides having time machines means neither side will win till it's decided in the past.
It makes sense! The war is fought in the past... ohhh... that gives me a good key to use in my vidding, thank you.

only other Guns & Destiny show about is busily killing off all it's female characters or the fandom at large turns on the actresses portraying them, is depressing
Ahh, methinks you are speaking of the show that shall not be named. I have so many issues with that show, and it sells in many ways an opposite message to SCC.

Pancakes are healing! Go the pancakes, the fluffier the better.
