Current Talk '06 II / Re: Thoughts about Jeb Hawkes/Victoria Winters/Peter Bradford
« on: March 22, 2007, 09:01:28 PM »That was a hard plot point to come across and I still don't buy it. We're suddenly supposed to like Jeb just because he decided not to be the Thing anymore? After murdering Paul Stoddard, Sheriff Davenport, and Inspector Guthrie (was that his name?) and framing Philip Todd for the murders, trying to kill both Maggie and Quentin, trying to get nearly everyone under the sun to murder Julia, and turning Barnabas back into a vampire again which threatens the existence of everyone around him... it's so nice of everyone to kind of forget all that for the sake of his love for Carolyn /sarcasm.
Thank you, arashi! I couldn't have said it better myself. A good part of the DS audience could easily accept that certain characters could have been believably transformed from evildoers to at least something resembling something otherwise with very little suspension of disbelief because a stable foundation for it was developed, usually over a period of time long enough for it to take (what passes on DS for ) logical root and shape - BUT no amount of suspension of disbelief could ever reform Jeb as quickly as the audience is expected to swallow his supposed turn.
