Amos and Naomi
posted by FormerlyKnownAsSTAFFMOD on April 14, 2017 at 9:31 AM
Amos always wants to do the logical thing. Naomi always wants to do the right thing. Sometimes “right” and “logical” are bound to clash.
Will Amos ever forgive Naomi for shooting him up with what seemed to be enough tranquilizer to stop a horse?
Naomi has always been the one person who could tap-in-to what’s left of the (for lack of a better word) “human” in Amos.
Will that change?
I think up to now he has always seen her as someone who'd never deliberately do him harm...someone who'd never act against his best interest or put his life at risk. I think he realized during that struggle that she would have put-him-down by any means necessary to save those "52".
I think it will change their relationship.
What say you?

It is a very intriguing relationship to define. In one episode, he did say he would "do her" but otherwise he seems to "hero worship" her or is attracted to her character and goodness. I think he will forgive her because her assessment of the situation was correct and she was able to achieve the goal. He was only trying to protect her so she should have no problem with him. Not sure if she always has the sedative with her or if she correctly assumed his response.

He looks up to her and will grudgingly accept it.
Holden's behaviour is starting to grate on me though.

He's the hero so we have to cut him some slack. Plus his woman just chose good deeds over great sex so he is having a bad day.

I was wrong about Amos.
Never expected him to apologize to Naomi. I expected her to be all over him apologizing and trying to explain why she did what she did. But, I never expected an "I'm Sorry" from him.
Turns out he is a bigger person, and more self-aware, than I gave him credit for.

You are the bigger person and a rarity on the internet. You put ideas out there, and then change your mind when you have new information. You enjoy discussing shows for the fun of it and not as a sport to get the better of other people. I'll bet you never started a post with "Called it". I salute you and look forward to future posts.
