Research: Blood of the Fold Chapter 17
Aug. 14th, 2010 10:31 amOh great, another Brogan chapter. Can't we just skip to him finding Kahlan? We've established that he's a little bitch, he's not interesting enough to justify any more time spent with him. It's not like the book is in danger of not being thick enough.
Brogan goes back to his pad to find that the old woman he was torturing has escaped and the torturer has been killed, obviously by mriswith. I guess Richard still doesn't care that potential enemies might be harboring something dangerous and thus hasn't searched their places. C'mon, man, you're a dictator now, violate some civil liberties.
Brogan, naturally, takes this as proof that the old lady was a baneling, making her the first devil worshiper who can't stand heavy metal music. Lunetta says that she should've stayed behind to help, but Brogan said she had to come with him, so he hits her for following his orders. Go back to your Saturday morning cartoon, Brogan, the Planeteers need someone to fight.
Then his sister does this:
Lunetta hobbled to Brogan's side and slipped an arm around his waist. She stroked his heaving chest. "It be late, Tobias," she cooed intimately. "Come to bed. You have had a hard day doing the Creator's work. Let Lunetta make you feel better. You will be pleased, I promise." He said nothing. "Galtero had his pleasure rape tiem, let Lunetta give you yours. I will do a glamour for you."
And suddenly Supernatural fandom doesn't think he's so bad. So he's in an abusive incestuous relationship, he's still not interesting. Darkseid has some dignity, Joker does whacky shit, Magneto is a nice guy as long as you're a mutant. They're all evil, but they're an interesting king of evil. Brogan is a big-time believer; what exactly are the tenets of his faith? Don't rape people and fuck your sister, unless you're hunting Banelings? A religious hypocrite could be interesting, like the bad guy in Hunchback of Notre Dame, or someone who is actually very moral aside from killing people, but this guy belongs in a Mark Millar comic.
So Brogan escapes from Aydindril, with the mriswith helping him get past the D'Harans. He takes it that they're servants of the Creator, because he's a schmuck, and now he's hot on the trail of Kahlan Amnell, since he's figured out she's the Mother Confessor despite being, from all accounts, a complete boob.
