➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. In the first half it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

“billy without a daemon fell a bit flat as there has been a few scenes (this episode is one of the better ones for including them I feel) with little to no daemons around and the relation/connection between daemon and human isn't really explored in the show”

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
