      To be fair, he started out more like "I don't want to but if it becomes necessary, I won't hesitate to kill that kid."

      To be fair he did say he always liked him, it’s just after Estoria and Pete not taking it seriously the damage he’d done, I can see kingstons perspective. I do think it’s cute they’re new dynamic tho.

      Also, it's not like he ever said he wanted to kill Pete. He would just be willing to kill him if he got out of control, which at the time seemed like a possibility.

    • @conspiracypanda1200
      @conspiracypanda1200 Před rokem +237

      I imagine the simplest version of his thoughts would be: "This kid could be a big threat to my city... But he's also _part_ of my city." The instant Pete proved he had any capacity for change and improvement, Kingston's Populi nature automatically kicked in to give the kid anything he needed to make those changes and improvements stick. Of course, what Pete needed more than anything was a genuine Dad.

      miles per hour = miles/hours
      miles: 5
      Hours: 2.5/60
      5/(2.5/60) = (5*60)/2.5=300/2.5=120 mph

    The scenes with Kugrash and Wally are genuinely some of the best comedic improv I’ve ever seen. In fact this whole damn show is for that matter.

    Funny enough the airing of this Christmas episode is semi-appropriate given how CZcams is already shoving Christmas ads in my face even when it's, you know, November.

    • @JasonCDrake-cx3wl
      @JasonCDrake-cx3wl Před 3 lety +8

      To be fair to the companies doing those ads, some people order gifts early to be prepared and companies are accounting for delivery times. Also I think they meant when the episode originally aired.

    I'm absolutely in love with all this personal philosophy and belief system each character has. Just being around Brennan and the rest would bring such insight and wisdom I think.
    Also, that moment where Esther's mom tries to see darkness in Ricky but he's just walking closer to give a better look was perfect. I wish he raised his shirt to let them see better lol
