I always thought that Duncan's reason for pushing Richie out the door was that he felt that Richie allowed his emotions to blind him to the reality of the situation. Richie, of course, did this habitually, but now that he was an immortal, he had to learn the consequences of letting the heart rule the reason when life and death were at stake. Just sayin'......
Also, I had a real hard time suspending my disbelief during the final scene. I just couldn't believe that Mako wouldn't have sliced Richie's head off in about two seconds. Just sayin'.....
