> I’m thinking about Melanie and Georgie’s cult and honestly I kind of wish that either of them lost themself in it a little bit. I think it be really interesting for, let’s say Melanie for this example, to buy into the idea that being able to walk freely through the apocalypse makes them special.

> Maybe Melanie could INSIST that her and Georgie save more people from their domains while Georgie tries to convince her that drawing too much attention to themselves will be disastrous. Which could lead to Melanie pulling a “It’s our duty as the chosen one,” type of deal and saving more people than can stay under the radar and therefore getting all the cultist caught.

> Or Georgie could be the one that buys too much into it and starts undercutting all of Jon’s practical but bittersweet plans to stop the apocalypse because she’s started to believe the idea that she has enough control over the end of the world to will a better ending for it.

> I think this idea is neat because it would give Melanie and/or Georgie a chance to get more understanding of Jon. Jon spends five seasons being told “You’re a monster,” despite his constant uphill battle for his humanity, and Melanie and Georgie are, at many points, the one saying it.

> I think it would have been interesting for them to put into a position where everyone around them is saying “You’re special. You’re important. You’re practically a God,” until they lean into it because it would make them understand the impact Elias had on Jon when he was whispering all the same things into his ear. It’s not so easy to keep your humanity when everyone around you has already discarded it, and that would be a perspective altering lesson to learn in the final hour.
