I hate Basira. I HATE HER. I been not liking her attitude for a couple of episodes in season 4 but MAG 146 was the last string. I loved her character so much at beginning, why is she turning into such a big hypocrite.
She’s able to excuse police brutality and even murderers, but she constantly judges Jon—who, at worst, gave people nightmares just to survive. It’s incredibly disappointing to watch her twist the moral high ground like that.
And honestly, why is everyone so hostile toward Jon? Why is everything suddenly his fault? Melanie joined the Institute when Jon wasn’t even there. Basira was the one who approached him. He didn’t drag any of them into this—they made their own choices. It’s so unfair how they act like he’s to blame for everything, when all he’s ever done is try to survive and protect people, even at the cost of himself.
Why does Jon have to put up with their crap and just quietly accept all their jabs? He literally just woke up from a coma—after being trapped in a looping nightmare. He went through hell, and instead of giving him space or support, they treat him like everything is his fault. It’s exhausting watching him carry the weight of everyone else’s trauma while they act like he’s some kind of monster for surviving.
And then they had the audacity to say he was better off dead. After everything he’s been through—after all the pain, the sacrifice, the literal torment—that’s what he gets? Not concern. Not understanding. Just cruelty. Jon didn’t ask for any of this, and yet he’s the one who keeps fighting, who keeps trying to do the right thing. And somehow, they still treat him like he’s the villain.
Being human isn’t about weakness. It’s about compassion. About surviving what should have broken you—and choosing to keep going anyway. That’s real strength.
And Jon had proved his humanity MULTIPLE TIMES.
