[META][SPEC] Finding the Assassin / Thin Kinkle backlash

[SuperDiamond]

While I agree with most of your points. I do disagree on one thing.

I think the parallels between Thin and Durga/Melissa are exactly what the PMs intended. Last night, I was thinking along the same lines as you are now. It makes a certain literary sense.

Remember, if Jersey hadn't stepped in, that auditor would probably be dead by now. Durga herself said she was "very restrained" in her handling of him. What would she do if not restrained? Would she have the same capacity as Thin? If so, why are we rooting for her? "Everybody hates auditors. I looked it up."

As Dennis Leary says "only the cute animals are protected from slaughter".

As you mentioned, it also makes an interesting comparison to those who are willing to throw Dana to the wolves in the interest of furthering the game.

This just hit me: the reminder on the front page about "Shocking excessive force" for "even minor transgressions."


McKaskill was guilty of treason, from a certain point of view, but Melissa/The Op did nothing to him.


.. somethings majorly changed. (And now I fear someone's going to be bringing me a fishy dinner shortly.. because I feel slow realising this.)

How 'bout this on a live crew call or two:

"Melissa, I'll tell you where Dana is if you promise not to kill or hurt her. Can we make a deal?"

? taking our cue from Jersey.

As we've discovered with what Thin wanted to do with Jan...

There are many things worse then death.

[Malice]

What was done to Jan was horrible. Yet even at that, she's gonna get strong from this. Sometimes evil exists for a purpose.

Whether the purpose of darkness is to show how bright the light can become, or make it strong as it tears at it, trying to destroy it. I believe, that in having this happen, we've gained a strong ally. One capable of bending the rules when it will be needed.

Maybe Dana needs proper motivation for something. Who knows, all we can do is wait, and hope that we come to the right decision in the end. If not? That's a bridge best unthought of until it's in sight.

as I have heard alot growing up... it is the bad news that makes the good news good. I think it is TRUTH that in great evil and darkness, the light of goodness shines brightest.

Obviously, we're going to have to figure out a way to get Dana out of this mess. If we're going to do something about it, we have to start by asking her about her primary mission, then eventually getting to Dana somehow.
I think all of this goes back to the Flea.

To add to Mazian's initial post of the connection between literary themes ... if the wave files are taking place in the future concurrently with what's happening in the present, then the connection between literary themes becomes even more obvious.
