too many posts calling jon dumb for shaking jude’s hand and this has definitely been pointed out before but i’m going to say it anyway because it’s making me. angry. like he obviously knew what was going to happen, he’s listened to the uncanny valley statement, he knows jude irreparably damaged someone’s entire arm on a whim. the episode opens with him saying, “i’m Not going to shake your hand i’m not stupid” it’s just that by the end of it he realises yes, he would put himself through that pain and humiliation if it meant getting what he wanted/Needed (information). that’s not idiocy that’s a display of desperation and determination (stubbornness, if you want to be less charitable about it but i simply don’t think wanting to know what exactly he had gotten himself into when he accepted the job constitutes as a character flaw). it was a business transaction. jude is saying i fed your god with my fear now you feed mine with yours. quid pro quo.
