The forum ate my old post where I’d quoted 6 or 7 chunks of text and I’m too lazy to re-do it, so I’ll just say that I feel you, all of you, all sides of the argument. Half of my brain is saying, “They’re deliberately building him up to be a bad option because nothing is gonna come of it,” and the other half is saying, “But do you really trust the writers to deal with these issues sufficiently?”
