I'd assumed the earlier scene when we were introduced to Teresa's 'demon baby' was a weird nightmare, her mind/memory torturing her for what she'd done.<br />But if that scene was something that actually occurred it puts a whole different slant on why Teresa did what she did, and also casts a strange and worrying light over why she would chose to/risk bringing her baby back :-/Ricochethttp://pinballmind.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-74837272047431472882011-06-27T08:45:06.207-04:002011-06-27T08:45:06.207-04:00Intersting thought and more about the motivation b...Intersting thought and more about the motivation behind Teresa, and maybe more about why cancer is her focus of power. ( Self-Flagellation perhaps? ) On the note about flames, this is a documented example from the late 1500's. - Two men, best of friends, got into an argument about the merits of two authors, which became so heated a duel was arranged. During the duel, one man was killed outright, and the other mortally wounded. the wounded man asked for last rites and confessed to the father that he'd never read either author....Jdarxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-64333045974769101682011-06-17T21:11:19.193-04:002011-06-17T21:11:19.193-04:00GAH ... you end it there?

Okay, seriously, I never ... I like to watch.... ;)<br /><br />Okay, seriously, I never wanted a flamewar. What I wanted was spirited discussion between the two sides because I fall squarely in the middle and was rather hoping someone would convince me. <br /><br />As it stands right now, you (Greg) are taking the position that RPGs are a commercial product, and as such are not only beholden to certain standards, but also that bucking these standards can result in repercussions throughout the hobby. <br /><br />On the other side of it, Zak/Raggi/et al have taken the contrary position that what they are making is art, albeit of an interactive sort, and that art is meant to challenge and provoke as often as it soothes and uplifts, and that censorship of art is reprehensible. <br /><br />From what I can see of it, you're BOTH right: it's art made for commercial purposes. But that doesn't change the fact that both sides are essentially arguing about what is and isn't art, which is a debate that will never ever have a clear victor, or even end. <br /><br />I find it absurd and more than a bit silly, really.Erin Palettehttp://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-33228400168421683132011-06-17T17:22:00.057-04:002011-06-17T17:22:00.057-04:00So no comments after you begged me for a flame war...So no comments after you begged me for a flame war?
