Re: Sean McNamara

See, that doesn't seem . . . quite fair.

Oh - it's not fair at all. There's a reason I used the term bigotry. Basically, I'm allowing prior expectations of characters to color how I judge their actions. It's a form of bigotry.

It's somewhat ironic - because when it came to BtVS - I think the sort of view I had was something a lot of people had coloring them in a case like S3 Buffy-Faith that I don't think was me. And I pointed it out to people. And yet I'm guilty of that here...

Like what he did to get out of jail? Was monstrous

It was? If Christian stays in jail forever, is that going to stop the carver? All it's going to do is postpone the investigation of the real carver, while Kit pursues her issues with Christian - who goes to jail for a crime he didn't commit.

Granted, with what Kit has done, he'd likely get that conviction tossed out either on trial or appeal. During which time, again, the real Carver is out there carving victims. I'm not going to say Christian isn't an asshole. But I think there's a moral argument for the choice he makes, here.

And Julia. Yeah, she's awful.
