No argument there. As symptoms of going bad go, it's not exactly the most subtle and morally confusing one, is it? Though I can't help thinking that it's a deliberate callback to the Trio... of course, exactly WHY it would be a callback to the Trio is difficult to tell without a lot of fanwanking. I don't want to gues at what caused character development to happen; I want to see character development happening.
Paradoxically, the only character I felt emotional connection with was the nameless slayer in The Chain.
Glad I'm not the only one. I thought this issue was the most interesting one yet, for what it might potentially be setting up, but it's all left-brain stuff; analyse, interpret, draw parallels, go "hmmm... that's interesting." When the story can't create an emotional connect, it'll never be the same thing. I feel like I'm reading a summary rather than watching the show.
