No Matter How Many Times.....

[ithildin]

...I watch Revelations 6:8, the Slinky Quickening never fails to amuse me. Talk about unintentional humour in what was supposed to be a dramatic moment.

And no matter how many times I watch the two Horsemen eps, I still come away totally ticked off at Duncan.

Some things are eternal [g]

I think it would have been a bit different if it had been Amanda, Grace or even Ceirdwyn.

[nods] And of course, that would have dramatically changed the whole thing. All of those women can fight, and haven't relied on 'the voice' (I really hated that particular contrivance) to get by. Unlike Cassandra who seemed to barely be able to use a sword (which was also really annoying even if I didn't care for Cassandra) And none of them would feel the need to manipulate Duncan into fighting their battles for them. So many things about how Cassandra was portrayed, as a woman, left a bad taste in my mouth.

Even if she had been portrayed as a brilliant self sufficient lady in this episode I don't think her personality would ever have recovered from the way she (to use a polite term) manipulated a 13 year old Duncan. I'm still surprised they showed that on TV, particularly as they tried to make it seem like she was doing the right thing.
