The Darkwatch elite assassin's, like Sonya are the most fanatical and loyal of Darkwatch's personnel. They are completely dedicated and ruthless. As shown in this episode, they would not think twice about killing civilians or those who get in their way.meditions142 wrote: Mon Mar 06, 2023 1:49 pm Another comment I wanted to make.
As you know, I prefer the non-lethal to lethal stories. However, here you intertwine the lethal and non-lethal so as to really define the "good v. evil" part of the story.
We of course know Deathwatch is evil. Heck, in this story, they are about to kill a bunch of world leaders. However, with the scene with the maintenance workers you set a scene to show how cold the organization and its leaders and assassins are.
The four women had basically instantly surrendered, had put up no resistance and were doing what they were told. However, the team of evil Deathwatch assassins doesn't give it a second thought before dispatching them one by one. Really sets the evilness of the organization.
It is essentially a battle of good v evil. In earlier episodes, Darkwatch is shown to treat it's own soldiers with a degree of contempt, even so far to persecute couples like Siobhan and Annabeth. I wanted to showcase Darkwatch as a sort of new age fascist organisation, with a very might makes right ethos.
In the season finale, coming up there will be revelations about the origins of Darkwatch plus Cross's true motivations.
I have really enjoyed writing Group 6s story, and I appreciate all the comments and support the SI as received.
