I'm the above person because apparently I can't just edit an initial post:
Going back to the why Alex hasn't thrown in with her father:
What struck me most about the graveyard scene wasn't OMG MAX IS GAY it was Alex's statement about her father:""I wasn't enlisted by my father, and I'm not joining him. I don't like what he does, and I don't think his way of fighting the Confederation is right."
I couldn't even read the last part in the voice I have come to associate with Alex.. Why doesn't she think her father is justified? In the past Alex has always been the kind to punch first and talk later, much like her own father. It seems to me her mind would have gone "The confederation has treated me like crap AND they kill babies? Time to fight." I don't know that even her move to save Darla and grow up in that respect is enough to justify the above statement x.x. .Anyway.. Really wanted to see you discuss that at a bit more length
