Dan's problem is wants to go out and be a private eye and a hacker and discover everything that is Lester, in all reality, but he is like a 58 year old man going downtown to buy drugs and has never even seen a drug dealer before (not much really happening due to lack of experience and lack of street smarts).So Lester is in Middleton for atleast a week and his Command Center is still on Chicago unattended. Do you think Dan will make a go for it?! See during Dan's jail stint, I had a silly idea that Dan will meet a low level criminal and convince him to fake a robbery at his apartment to get his hand on the drive. He will either try to access them or try to destroy them.I know Dan is a computer noob and the room is full of Camera, which is why I think Dan will do it because it fits the current Dan's brash behavior. Nevertheless he was let go and that idea too went down the drain. Before you ask, Yes I did watch the movie Body Heat recently and got the idea from there.
I'm not sure you are reading the same story the rest of us are. Sarah's told you thru both internal and external dialogue that she finds Jesse both weak and needy. Yes she enjoyed the control she had over him, but she was far from loving her time with him or exhilarated by Jesse's simp behavior. The one time she knowingly fucked him, it was sex not emotional. If she wanted a weak man she could control, she has Dan for that.True, but she always seems to come around to loving her time with Jesse when she reacts to his worship of her. He's inexperienced and needy, that's true...but, she always seems to respond to his desperation for her and his adoration of her ...she can't help but feel exhilarated by Jesse's love for her. Just sayin'...
I agree with your opinion, Sarah is showing a dominance streak in particular about sex. Jesse doesn’t fit this role.I'm not sure you are reading the same story the rest of us are.

The reason she is drawn to Lester is his dominance, the fact that he takes what he wants despite what she feels. That premise is one of the corner stones of this series - she is a powerful woman, accustomed to being in control and is now being sexually liberated by giving up that control.
Agreed, not to mention Dan isn't even aware he's being recorded or that Lester has collected the videos. One would think that Lester has 1) a lock on his door and an encrypted password 2) all his stuff is backed up on a remote cloud storage (the lone exception we know of is he did say his Sarah files were kept offline on a hard drive to keep them out of the hands of Chronos (others).Dan's problem is wants to go out and be a private eye and a hacker and discover everything that is Lester, in all reality, but he is like a 58 year old man going downtown to buy drugs and has never even seen a drug dealer before (not much really happening due to lack of experience and lack of street smarts).
Is it possible yes, but unlikely. Otis is an NPC - someone to add a little variety to the story. He doesn't have any leverage to blackmail her with. She's not going to willingly have sex with him, she does everything she can to avoid him. Even if he tried to blackmail her, there's no evidence, it's a he said/she said situation. I think her first move would be to go to Lester (cuz Lester has proven he gets shit done). Lester would step in and get him fired or transferred because he doesn't want to share Sarah.I agree with your, Sarah is showing a dominance streak in particular about sex. Jesse doesn’t fit this role.
There are some people that send me this vibe in this story though. The Janitor, which can start fucking her, behind Lester knowledge, blackmailing her at the beginning(just until she enjoyed sex, is a kind of dominance in some way) or Byron.
If I had to guess someone who could get her pregnant, outside Lester of course, there would be these twos.
I’m convinced yet that this story makes sense only if all three loses.Is it possible yes, but unlikely. Otis is an NPC - someone to add a little variety to the story.

As for Byron, she's been with him, and who was she wanting while it was going on - Lester. Nah I think he's out of the picture for awhile until/unless Dan brings him back into it. Personally I hope the whole TLG story thread dies out, it's useless clutter to the main focus of the story. Again one of the corner stones of the story is the push/pull dynamic between Sarah, Lester and Dan.
Agreed - I think both Otis and Jesse show how much Sarah has changed/fallen and how much control Lester has over her....when she was with Jesse in the morning, she was searching for Lester.Is it possible yes, but unlikely.

Maybe Dan gets a call from one of his neighbors asking if everything is alright, there has been a new SUV parked in his driveway overnight all weekend......Dan rents a car to rush home just to find Lester giving it to Sarah up the poop shoot. Dan walks in to hear Sarah telling Lester how weak/pathetic Dan is, he can't fuck her like "Daddy." Outside of getting her pregnant this would be the ultimate disrespect to Dan, first letting Lester in their house (while girls are home) and then giving him her anal cherry.Agreed - I think both Otis and Jesse show how much Sarah has changed/fallen and how much control Lester has over her....when she was with Jesse in the morning, she was searching for Lester.
I am wondering how chapter 26 opens, does it start days/week later or is it the next day. After Sarah gets girls up, goes through the day, puts girls to bed, etc. she's exhausted and frustrated by lack of help/support and starts texting Lester?
I’m convinced yet that this story have sense only if all three loses.
The only real way to do it is if Sarah gets pregnant of someone else than Lester or Dan.
Some of the side characters must became a relevant element to do this.
of course this is my humble opinion.
While I agree that Sarah is the north star of this story, I don't see her as a prize to be claimed. I would assume the story is more about where they end up than who they end up with(bottom, mostly). The reason people want more romance between her and Lester is because it shows Sarah's corruption/addiction not because they identify with him. Which is why to me who impregnates her doesn't matter much. Im more interested part is how the trio handles it.completely agree. for me, all the excitement in this story comes from sarah cheating, and at this point lester "owns" her more than dan, so the most exciting dynamic would be for sarah to cuck lester with an even bigger loser/asshole.
but a lot of people seem obsessed with lester "winning" every exchange, which is incredibly boring to me
Sarah using BC pills without telling anyone, shows that she is enjoying all this situation, w/o telling and often playing the reluctant one, thinking she in control. She wants to enjoy sex without consequences.While I agree that Sarah is the north star of this story, I don't see her as a prize to be claimed.

I do agree with you that Lester need to be tested more. I understand him playing in easy mode so far because this is his first rodeo, but lately it seems like both him and Dan become one-dimensional. The only times he was bested was when Dan beat him up and when TLG almost traced him back. I would like to see him facing a fork in the road: abandon his pursuit of Sarah to avoid TLG or keep continuing and risk capture.
Unless the program on the thumbdrive is created for the type of system that a large company, like Sentinel, has and not pcs or mac, kind of an overkill situationAgreed, not to mention Dan isn't even aware he's being recorded or that Lester has collected the videos. One would think that Lester has 1) a lock on his door and an encrypted password 2) all his stuff is backed up on a remote cloud storage (the lone exception we know of is he did say his Sarah files were kept offline on a hard drive to keep them out of the hands of Chronos (others).
Now, it's always possible Dan could get so frustrated that he takes a sledge hammer to the bedroom door and work station, but all that gets him is alerting Lester what he's doing and kicked out on his ass for vandalizing the apartment. It's more likely Dan would seek Sentinel sources to help him with the information technology. One assumes he still has the thumb drive he was given by Peter (mystery man) to spy on TLG, perhaps he uses that.
I would think Don is planning Byron and Sentinel for another story...Is it possible yes, but unlikely. Otis is an NPC - someone to add a little variety to the story.

I am not sure I understand why Lester making her pregnant is a non-realistic way to go. She is having sex with him more than anyone, Dan included. That would up the chances of him being the father exponentially.I’m convinced yet that this story makes sense only if all three loses.

I hope that Lester tells Sarah that he is living in that house and she lets him tell her what to do. The so-called "troll's cave" is where Lester stays and either he goes to her or she goes to him, but the pressure is on from Lester for him to sleep in the marriage bed, with her.Agreed - I think both Otis and Jesse show how much Sarah has changed/fallen and how much control Lester has over her....when she was with Jesse in the morning, she was searching for Lester.

I’ve never said is not realistic. I said is “trivial”.I am not sure I understand why Lester making her pregnant is a non-realistic way to go. She is having sex with him more than anyone, Dan included. That would up the chances of him being the father exponentially.
When someone writes a story, they make a promise to the reader: if you invest time in reading, you'll receive a payoff that aligns with what has been foreshadowed.completely agree. for me, all the excitement in this story comes from sarah cheating, and at this point lester "owns" her more than dan, so the most exciting dynamic would be for sarah to cuck lester with an even bigger loser/asshole.

Curious - why in your opinion must all three "lose" for it to be a happy ending for you? I mean I think all three have already lost something because of Dan opening Pandora's box. But I'd like to hear your reasons for that opinion. Unless by happy ending you mean an ending that would be more interesting to you.I’ve never said is not realistic. I said is “trivial”.
If he gets her pregnant he wins. I think that in a story like this the happy ending for some of the main character is not interesting
All must lose. Lester too.
