I think Thane probably didnt mind the shooting as Kolyat was being a brat. XD

AWW poor Kolyat!
First, his daddy left him, then his mommy died,  and then SOME people shoot him when you know you had a perfectly good Paragon action to smack him,  shame shame.  Poor guy...I JUST WANNA HUG HIM!

I'm sorry, Thane... That was hilarious. I can't stop watching Kolyat drop.

Thane's lack of a reaction could be, yeah, an oversight or he's just containing himself. If the latter is the case, he's doing a great, great job at it.

Drunk Thane for ME3!

This.

You people can be so cruel to poor Kolyat.  Shepard did what he/she had to do to keep Kolyat from killing Talid and I think Thane understood that.  It probably hurt Thane to see Shepard hit/shoot his son anyway.
(The animation of it is funny I admit, but it's a sad scene.)

And welcome kirasdream!

If I see Kolyat again... he won't be so lucky to escape with a flesh wound.

Shooting Kolyat isn't the most horrible thing you can do to him. At least it will heal.
Sending him to prison is much worse

Please stop.  I've seen the places where comments like that go.

Seriously, Kolyat at least owes Shepard some thanks for keeping him from being sent to prison.

Not letting him go to prison was the best thing. I think it would be a lot harder to repair the relationship with Thane and Kolyat if he ends up in jail.

Community service was the best option. It is a wake up call for Kolyat, opening his eyes to the realities of being a novice assassin, but it also doesn't punish him too harshly, when all he wanted to do, was be closer to his father.

As for Thane's reaction (or lack thereof) although it is his son, he also recognises Shepard's leadership. And never in the game does he question Shepard's orders. (Bearing in mind that this is before any romance, apart from the first flirtation.)

Of course it isn't due to lack of caring. We all know how much Thane cares about Kolyat, even if he didn't go about it as well as he could. he is trying now.

I just realized that I never shot Kolyat.


That and never side with either Legion or Tali.

There is so much to go forward with with Thane's character. I really, really, wish we get to see an improving relationship with Kolyat.

Just like if he had slipped on a banana skin!

I do believe that whatever my Shep does to Kolyat to disarm him is in his best interest. He tried to be an assassin and well, Shep gave him a welcome call. I have also never had him go to trial even I have some compassion toward him. He is a screwed up kid, his Mom was murdered, his Dad was non existent in his life. He probably would have died in prison or came out someone who would have been shot by someone else. Some people would say, so what? He can get over it. Yeah easier said than done. My girls are screwed up emotionally because both of their fathers walked out on them. These are pieces I am still trying to pick up with them so they don't end up trying to kill someone.

So, as much as I find it hilarious that Kolyat turtles during that shot, I do not laugh when I realize the long hard road that him and Thane have to walk to rebuild a relationship. As painful as it for Kolyat to accept Thane back into his life and then perhaps eventually have to realize Shep is with his father, it is just as painful for Thane to come to terms what kind of pain Kolyat has been in without him. I do love Thane to death and I try to understand why he left Kolyat but as a parent, I find it a bitter pill to swallow to face the fact that he did indeed, walk out on his son. Which is one of the many reasons I do love Thane, he is going to try to work things out no matter how long it takes. That is a testament to who he is. Trying to fix things with Kolyat is going to be hard, the easy way would be to just walk away again.

I wonder sometimes what Thane was writing in the letter he was writing to Kolyat. What was he telling him? I hope its something good, like explanations and history not stipulations, rationalizations or utlimatims. I don't think he would do such a thing but Thane is a father. He isn't perfect, he's faliable. Aren't we all? 

I loved your post, it puts everything of what I've tried to do and what I still try to do with my girls.  I've always been there but I've made some whopper mistakes.  Their fathers aren't perfect but I'm not a paragon of virtue either.  I always wondered what he he was saying to Kolyat and I felt bad when I went to talk to him and he said, "I am...I had been recording a message for Kolyat."  I know it opens up Shep asking about how things are going but I just felt weird knowing that I interrupted him while he was doing something I felt was more important.  I think I would have felt better if he said, "I had just finished recording message for Kolyat."

Mei Mei, have I ever told you how much I love practically every post you make? In fact, I believe I have told you on multiple occassions

It really is the sign of a special family tie. And it seems that with his impending mortality, Thane has certainly released his pride to focus on the things that really do matter. And I think Jolyat recognises that his father is loves him and is trying to set things right. He just doesn't like how he never did anything about it until he was diagnosed with Keprel's.

And utaker, that made me feel bad too. And we had a chat a little earlier in the thread on whether or not Shepard is detrimental to Thane and his son rebuilding their relationship. When I first romanced him, I did feel bad for Kolyat. But then I realised that Thane's last months needed meaning. And that he also needed hope.

That scene is so powerful JECSWU, with the alarms, the red and blue lights flashing on the walls. And the sudden intimacy after violence.

You have indeed Tasha. My pleasure. I love analyzing Thane and seeing the humanistic aspects of him. He is... intriguing.

Well played

Hehe. He sure is! And despite what many think, he is well worth keeping alive as well.

He is definatly worth keeping alive. Sadly some people really don't understand him and they don't want to.
They are really missing out, because he's a great chracter if you give him a chance.
