Drell are rare and Kelham was trying to insult him. Not smart, but Thane's a calm man.
From what I've seen some people don't like Thane because they think he's boring, a cliched character(what?), or they don't like how he rationalizes his profession. Edit: Also his flashback moments are off putting to most.<_<
I have a problem with two of those arguments, but the third one is just ridiculous. Each to their own opinion I suppose. Anyway, happy thoughts. We love Thane here.
I'm going to comment on this since I actually mentioned this issue in the "Romance Turn Offs" thread, so I assume you might be referring to me? I don't know, but I shall address this all the same!
I think the concept of solipsism is neat, I just hate the way Thane describes the scenes he's reliving in his head. It's way too overdone for me. The spice on the wind, her sunset colored eyes defiant in the scope....no one talks like that! (Except beatnik stereotypes, I suppose?) If Garrus started describing his experience on Omega with "I was alone, cornered, the taste of blood like rust in my mouth..." I would despise it, too. I like it much better when he's simply talking about it in a "normal" fashion (i.e. the "feel of another's tongue in your mouth/I can look at my leg and see it's not shattered" conversation).
So yes, it's not the flashbacks at all - just the descriptions of such that Thane/the Bioware writers chose to use. I don't think my opinion deserves a side-eye...I still love the character.
