Something I've unintentionally been unable to not focus on in E2 is navarros acting. I read after E1 that she's actually a boxer and isn't really an actor and this is only like her 2nd role or something. We'll skip over the "why is she in such a big project with such a big name lead if it's her 2nd gig" stuff.

But after now knowing that...I CANNOT help but notice how unbeleivably stiff and robotic she is in 99% of her scenes. Granted some of htat may just be the script. I know she's supposed to be some dark, brooding, no-nonsense badass alpha female. Whatever. But still even with that being the case, her facial expressions are bland all the time. Doesn't show emotion. Barely emotes at all. Delivery is monotone and boring. I mean it's honestly annoying that I'm now tractor-beamed into noticing it and I can't help it. I think in E2 I recalled like 10 seconds worth of screen time she had where she either smiled or displayed anythign resembling what you'd refer to as "acting". And my Lord the metal in her face is distracting.

Ok...I feel better now.
