I like to think that Sam's decision to take the sword was 70% "This will be super-useful" and 30% "Fuck you, Dad."
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe more like 50/50.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think a healthy dose of "I need this more than he does, and know better what it's good for" which pairs very nicely with "and fuck him anyway".

Hey. New board.
That episode was all about shit getting animated, running away, going to a weird carnival island, getting swallowed by a whale, escaping, saving a father-figure's life, and dying in the process.
Next week: shit gets real.

Punishingly Intricate
We only get Ian McShane for one episode?!
Considering how often the "dead" and the dead come back? I'm pretty sure he'll be around for a while.
