Good Read

The good Doctor sounds like another person that understands, good.

For those that do not like what Dr Dray has to say , Why not post a counter ? Why is it that you have to throw insults such as they don't know what the hell their talking about or I work at a college and basically since I see them daily their opinions do not carry any weight .No one likes to be insulted . Why don't you be productive and argue your point with your take on the matter instead of meaningless insults that basically make you look like a troll .

Anybody know Flavor Flav's opinion on the ending?

I whole-heartedly agree with his interpretation. Especially the logic about being forced into 3 choices that basically ran counter to the theme of the story.

Well written.

Thanks, OP, for the post!

[Ziggy]

Yes, that is exactly what I think is wrong with the ending(s)! Just much more articulately and clearly put than I could ever do.

I work at a college so anything coming from a literature professor doesn't carry much weight.

Janitor?

Because any time you try to argue your point that disagrees with the Forum Consensus, you get a million people jumping down your throat calling you an idiot, ignoring your point, and occansionally you get someone who makes a legitimate point that you disagree with and a productive form of conversation happens.  Every once in a while you get someone who pretends they're Mordin Solus and proceed to insult your intelligence, and dismiss your view point as childish and ill-formed.

Frankly, it isn't worth the time trying to argue if no one is even remotely willing to hear it. You can't have a productive debate if people are not willing to even engage with your ideas and your assumptions.  Least of all if that person is coming from a place of authority which makes them even less likely to engage some random person on the internet without an advanced degree in the humanities.


It is a simple cost benefit analysis.  The cost is a lot of time, energy, dignity, and self-esteem, while the benefit is that maybe, just maybe, you will convince one person who hated the ending that there might be legitimate reasons why a thinking, rational, sane, intelligent, person might have liked the ending.  It's an excercise in masochism that I'd rather avoid, and the pay-off only matters if you care what someone on the internet thinks about you.

I see a degree does not buy you good arguments.
