I’ve been thinking recently about what would have happened if Daisy had never barged in on Jon and Micheal in episode 91…

Micheal had clearly had enough, but I sincerely doubt that Jon had heard enough. Although Micheal gave a hefty statement, he shared very little information that Jon was actually after. He knew what he wanted to say and he said it.

Jon at this point was clearly willing to go to any and all lengths to find out what he needed to know, and was more than a bit suicidal in its pursuit. He asks Jude Perry to kill him if she won’t tell him, and i think this displays his desperation well; it would be less painful to be dead than it would be to not know.

And Micheal wasn’t weak- without hesitation he sent Jon into an internal freefall just so he could get him to shut up, imagine what he’d be willing to do if Jon openly defied his command, refused to leave. He’s got absolutely no qualms about throwing people off buildings, and is very open about his willingness to kill, so Daisy’s arrival could’ve been a mercy even if Basira hadn’t shown up to save him.

Is it worse to be tormented prey or to face the terrifying draw of gravity? Is that inevitable crunching, splitting meeting with the ground worse than feeling the blood pour out of your open throat?
