OMG-what a time for my BSN account to crash again!! Thanks to Tasha for her support and clarifcation...I soooo DO NOT WANT THANE DEAD, I want him by my side in ME3 (where he belongs) while my ass is on trial and I have a crazed Cerberus killer after me!!!. I need him to "have my back" (not gonna mention what we can do while I'm on said back, LOL) Thx to others also for your feedback, knowledge and insight (51ha, wildannie, etc). If BW would support Thane back in ME3 at only 1/2 the support we fans have shown, in this thread alone, then it would have already been announced that he was back!!!!
I was only trying to clarify that Kepral's cannot be compared to CF (I don't effing care what BW staff person said, I work with CF every day). CF is an inherited lung disease, children show symptoms at early age, are usually debilitated by their teen years (meaning can't be employed, can't live what we call "regular lives"), and are hospitalized quite frequently, cause of infections or thick mucus that requires intensive suctioning or lung lavage. They also require clearing of thick mucous plugs multiple times a day, by "hands on" or other mechanical devices (sometimes as often as hourly). Medications include:antibiotics, inhalers and mucus thinning medications. These are not medications FOR CF, there is no cure and no medication for CF, these are to treat the effects of CF on lung tissue. If CF has "metastasized" (spread), to the digestive tract, or reproductive areas, then the medication list is even longer. Thane does say that Kepral's was a consequence from the wet climate on Hanar homeworld, so not inheritable. The longer Drell spend on Hanar homeworld, even with protective gear/medications, the shorter their life expectancy.
In 14 years as a practitioner, I have never seen a CF patient with the lung function or capability to to do anything "athletic", they cannot play intensive sports, run track, enter marathons, bike race, etc.....let alone be an assassin. No way they could run, flip, shoot, neck snap, run some more to cover, shoot and neck snap again............My intent was to clarify that.
I want Thane in ME3 and am willing to accept just about any lame poor writing excuse, like nanotech, wonder medigel, Prothean cure, hell, a magic elixir..To me that is more acceptable than, "somewhere in the galaxy doing his own thing", or slowly wasting away, suffering, inactive and written out.........I want BW to do Thane justice as the character they made him, the LI role they chose to write for him and the recognition he got because of that.
I'm just saying - "It is difficult, all things worth keeping are", and Thane is a keeper. So, step up to the plate BW.................
