DOESNT ARCANES ATTITUDE TO ALEC VARY CONSIDERABLY?
It certainly does! Part of the time (mostly the earlier episodes, although not confined there) it seems that this guy’s got nothing better to do than spend his entire life trying to senselessly hurt people and try to reduce Alec to a dissected corpse! The second season gave him a reason (i.e. creating weapons for Sunderland), but he still spends his time positively salivating over causing death and pain. Later on though, he seems more benign; still causing pain, but as a side effect of his work, not the reason for it. There are exceptions though. In “Most Bitter Pill”, “Lesser of Two Evils”, “Handyman” etc., Arcane doesn’t seem to care too much about Alec, even openly admitting to an old friendship; yet later, in “Revelations” and “Cross-fired” he’s back to wantonly trying to destroy him for no other reason than he exists. In “Touch of Death” Arcane tells Alec that he can destroy him now because he no longer needs him. Stop me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t he been spending most of his time
