| Boobs rock, and other matters. | |

In Response To: Re: Wow. Just wow. *SP* (Avateur) : Like I said, my only gripe in the episode was that female Elite. We can just : pretend she wasn't there. She died anyway. :P It seems the biggest complaint of 'The Duel' can be boiled down to one word: boobs. I'm not sure how I feel about that, honestly. I know you probably have better reasons for not liking her then that, but I think people are missing a critical part of the story by getting upset about it. Ghost in the Shell was so awesome because it took broad themes and boiled them down in a very personal way. For example, take the episode where the crippled weapons designer has his buddy download his brain into his latest tank. He then goes on a rampage for the sole purpose of killing his parents. He goes to all this effort, technology, design, and money for the sole purpose of vengeance on his mom and dad for denying him medical treatment that would have resulted in a substantially better quality of life for him. The episode starts talking about weapon designs, technology, and its impact on society, but ends up being about the rage a child feels against his parents for injustices done to him. It's like those holographic baseball cards in that you initially see one image, but when you turn it to the side you see something completely different. In 'The Duel,' the meta issue is the political ramifications of The Great Journey to Elite society. This Arbiter sees it for the bullshit that it is, but in the end, his motivations are driven because he, cliches aside, holds on to love. That's the purpose of his wife in the story. Honor without love is only a power grab, which he recognizes as the fatal flaw in the Prophet's message. To put it another way, it's obvious that love is what drives him. She makes him laugh, after all. : Ninja Elites would have been far more interesting. Flipping out and just
He shanked that grunt because it dropped a fork. Ninjas don't even care. They just flip out and kill people.
