Oh girl, I am probably wrong about season 2 being boring-- like I said, it's been awhile. To be honest I always expected to go back to season 1 and 2 and enjoy them more the second time around, having come around on the characters (it took me a ridiculously long time to really get into it, I think I was on the second-to-last episode of season 1 before I even went "heyyyyyy, I could be into this!"), but when I rewatched season 1 in October and still found it pretty lame, I was too lazy to continue on to season 2.
Anyway ugh, yes, I am so glad they didn't continue along the ~badass~ line for her characterization, because it was so out of place-- it's a lot more interesting to see her decide to come out of the lab because she enjoys investigating than it is to see her come out because she wants to hold a gun. But sometimes it really seems like people think she is less of a character because doesn't break out the action moves these days? Idk, I have always been kind of uncomfortable with the amount of emphasis fandom places on whether or not female characters could physically best you in a fight.
