I believe it is very easy for us to summarize the events of GS/D and confine things as right/wrong/smart/stupid, just because we have such a perspective. However, for the characters themselves, they are living in a constant "darkness" clouding what exactly is taking place. Taking that into consideration when arguing about characters is very important in my opinion.
yep that is very true most people might find themsleves yelling at a character for something they did because they know whats really going on whereas the character is just following orders.

i use to really find shinn as a useless character some point in the series but i think of him know as natarle burlge or however you spell her name there just soldiers in the end following orders. shinn is more extreme version since he lets his emotions get caught up sometimes. ahh ( scratches head) whatever the point is you cant blame the character you have to take in the superiors who really control everything.

but anyways Asuran Zara is the man!!!!
