In all honesty, I think a jail setting had potential, but trying it this early as well as doing the baby thing this early are things that I think are getting too far ahead. They feel like stuff that would've been better in the second half of the season or for season 2. Doing them now seems to me like they cut her off from other storylines that would've worked better for her.
I mean, I've loved the scenes she's had in jail and with Eclipse so far, but ep 3 made me really wish I could see the dynamic between Lorna and best friend Dreamer.
But, as I said before, I'm not hating any of the show. This is the best Lorna's been written in a long time and they're doing great things with her. I just think these two scenarios are ahead of their time. I'm absolutely open to seeing where the writers go with it and if what they do shows now was the best time for it after all.
Also for additional record: if the comics had Lorna pregnant right now, I'd be complaining a lot about the comics doing it. Same as I like Lorna's wardrobe on Gifted but would have a problem with it applied to her as combat attire in the comics. Show's a different beast from the comics.
