@miscbrains @KaiserKitty @scathach too good of a writer to ignore the compulsion to shut people up about "why don't you just do this other obvious thing instead of the cool thing" while otherwise clearly having the story he wanted to tell and jamming it in to place.

which i don't fault him for but it has to be respected for the "shut up, look at the cool sword fight" devices they are :ablobcatderpy:
