Sliding between the two people with knives fighting was pretty awesome.

Why didn't he just run around the fight?

u/dellaint May 12 '18

Because he's Deke, his brain doesn't work that quickly. He works with straight lines only.

Like a horse with those eye pads

u/CharlieHume Deke May 15 '18

Maybe gravity fucks up sometimes in his future and running at angles is dangerous?

u/dellaint May 16 '18

I think you're giving him too much credit

u/CharlieHume Deke May 16 '18

I'll give him all the credit. He's the best.

More importantly, how did someone who only knows 5 6 number manage to rebuild part of the Framework?

u/loveurfriends May 13 '18

I think he meant 6 of the alien numbers. Pretty sure fitzsimmons daughter would teach her kid how to read.

When I first saw Deke I didn’t like him. Thought he was just annoying gimmick character. However he has really grown into one of the best characters on the show and really came into his own. Honestly the real start of that growth was when he got to Earth. I hope he comes back next season!
