Oh, never listen to ol’ Lee. He’s off his rocker, sein’ Insects. I’m sick of this shabby treatment! My opinions are just as valid as the next man’s, and my theories are all based on the most logical interpretation of events and dialog on the show. You’re just too busy contradicting and misrepresenting me to seriously consider my points. I’ve brought all this up before, but you dismissed it out of hand.
Oh, pshaw. Your opinions are *not* as valid as the next man’s, unless the next man’s opinions are based on nothing but supposition. You have taken a few lines of dialogue and read far more into them than anyone ever intended. You say that HDS was “good.” That he was “honorable” in his plans to rebuild his race and punish those whom he thought were guilty of destroying it (I won’t even go into how one can possibly consider lying and planned genocide outside of the context of a war to be either good or honorable). Jeez, DT, if you think that this is a “good” and “honorable” thing, I’m just wondering in what beer hall you’ll be holding your next Putsch. Again, I reiterate that you have *not* shown any evidence before this (give me a link to the post where you have cited this evidence previous, or post a quotation and the thread heading), and the evidence you have shown at this time is one scene of dialogue that only proves that HDS is *nuts* at the time the scene takes place, and the rest is supposition and inference that has (as I keep saying and you keep ignoring) NO BASIS IN THE TEXT. Stop playing your little martyr card (“I work so hard on my theories and no one listens to them…sniff, sniff…and that big bully just misrepresents me at every turn…sob…”).
The only way one can consider HDS a “good” and “honorable” character is if one interprets his actions through a filter based on a personal belief system that accepts his actions as “good” or “honorable.” And if one actually holds a personal belief system of this nature, then one needs more help than they’re going to get on a message board.
Of course, it must be considered that the person that views HDS as good and honorable is the same person that sees himself as a “good guy” and “humble” and can yet go around calling someone “a little slow” and someone else a “sick freak.” Sorry to break out of the tenets of “Lincoln-Douglas” debate, DT, but it’s obvious that trying to get you to stick to a rational interpretation of the text is impossible, and that your arguments are based entirely on your own personal belief system and world view. You’ve ceased to be objective, and are performing an analysis on a character through an exclusively subjective viewpoint. As I’ve pointed out, if you can’t allow your interpretation to be based exclusively on the text, it is *invalid* and must be dismissed.
As I’ve said, try this kind of analysis in one of your college courses and see what kind of marks you get.
