So. I think I’ve connected some dots about Arthur and his band of morons. And it’s not good news. (cw: misgendering)
My evidence is as follows:
At the end of Perry and Kay’s talk on the radio, Kay calls Perry ‘brother’ (ep. 3). Now this in itself is a dick move, as Perry says themself, ‘I am not your brother.’
Now this gives us two options - either Kay is misgendering Perry deliberately, or Perry didn’t start using they/them until after they left the Knights. I’m inclined to think it’s the former, since Perry has ‘thought a lot about who [they are]’, and ‘that hasn’t stopped or changed because of the Cataclysm’ (Perry, ep. 2). To me that suggests that Perry started using they/them before the Cataclysm, so Kay would know, since our trio spent some time with the Knights before we meet them (I think - we don’t have an exact timeline yet). Already I hate this guy. But wait! There’s more!
We’ve seen the Knight’s attitude to Names. They view Nameless as ‘lambs to the slaughter’ (Kay, ep. 3), and seem to believe that there is no separation between Name and person. We see this in Kay referring to Morgan as ‘the witch le Fay’ (ep. 3). Morgan a) is being referred to by her Name, showing that Kay believes them to be one and the same, and b) hasn’t actually done anything wrong (that we know of), but is being blamed for her Name’s crimes. There is no freedom to create your own story, you are stuck to what your Name decides.
In Perry and Dai’s fight, Perry says ‘You know what it was like back there. For me, for you. For Morgan.’ This tells me that our trio had a shitty time of it back there, so much so that hiking through the Welsh wilderness, being attacked by Phenomena every other day, was preferable. Makes sense for Dai and Morgan, right? Dai’s Nameless, Morgan’s Name is a villain Name, and with the Knights’ attitude to Names I can’t imagine either of them would have a great time there. But Perry? Perry’s a Knight, the great Sir Peredur. What reason would they have to leave? What was so bad for them there that they left their nice cushy job being hero-worshipped by 900 people as someone with a Name (Named?) in favour of wilderness camping in Wales? Well, I think I’ve figured it out, and I don’t like it one bit.
I think that, since the Peredur of myth used he/him (edit: my evidence for this is google, I claim no proper knowledge of arthuriana), that the Knights insisted on misgendering Perry because the Knights’ belief in no separation between Name and person would mean that Perry would “have” to use he/him (heavy air quotes, the Knights are dicks and wrong) because Peredur of myth used he/him.
Aaagghh I hate it so much but it makes more sense the more I think about it! Seriously when I find those Knights they better be ready to catch these fuckin hands.
Anyway if you’re reading this that means you got to the end of my mini essay. Well done! Thank you!

FTWD - WTF?
I get Frank wanted to leave, but damn I can't believe how they did it. Why didn't they just kill Nick at the end of season 3 during the dam incident? He could have died a hero saving his family. Or leave his fate up in the air? Like Madison never found him. If the show runners knew that Frank wanted to leave in season 3 why didn’t they keep Troy around? By the way, where the hell is Madison? She better not be dead too. She has been so OOC this season so far. Where is my manipulative, do anything so her family survives, Madison? This time jump is really screwing with the story. I just have so many questions, and I am not exactly sure I want to stick around for the answers. It feels like they are rebooting Fear to get the ratings up, so they are getting rid of the characters that the loyal fans of the show have grown to care about, but they are trying to distract us with Morgan. I love Morgan, but I might take a break from this show for awhile. Sorry for the rant, but I just watched the episode and I have so many feelings.

Does no one else find an issue with this relationship 😬?
Charlie literally said that she's turning 13 that week. So during the episode Mourning Cloak she's 12, almost 13. Earlier in the episode Howard says that Ali is 15. Now I don't know about you but I don't know ANY 15 year old who would want to kiss a girl who's (not even) 13.
