OotS 464

[Mycanid]

Poor, poor Miko.

BTW Michael Morrus - thank you for the link ... it was appropo, I thought.

I didn't hate Miko all that much. I remember when she was introduced, we (the readers) were frustrated because the story was taking a tangent and it felt like there was a railroading DM using Miko to lead the party by the nose. I didn't like the situation either, but I thought Miko was an interesting character.

It was disappointing that while Miko's character was being explored, Rich was (IMHO) doing what he often does, reading the boards and adjusting his writing in reaction, making her ever more unlikable. So I thought okay, I'm not supposed to like Miko. Then Roy gets the line to call her a bitch and it's pure fanservice. This is the word fans have been using to describe Miko and it was ugly enough there- I don't want to get all into double standards, but when Nale betrays the Order he's evil and it's shocking. When Miko wrangles the Order and acts dogmatically she's a bitch.

When Roy said it, it was disappointing. Rich just disappoints me sometimes.

Brilliant ending for Miko -- sad, but full of honesty and wisdom. This should put to bed any debate over whether or not Miko was a "true" paladin.

10/10

Hey, don't get my hopes up like that!

mmmmmm..... stick with no miko or roy permenantly.... mmmmmm.......

I can't imagine OotS without Roy. He's the not only the glue that holds the team together, he's one of the main anchors for the plot.

And, personally, one of my favorite characters.

QFT. Notice how the OotS just couldn't decide what to do without Roy?

Miko was a total bitch. Telling someone how things are isn't juvenile.

Eh. She didn't do anything that I thought was all that annoying until after that point (which I saw as Rich giving into the Miko-haters club). I'm glad she's gone, and had a pretty good exit; I'd've preferred to see a redemption scenario play out, but I just don't trust Rich to have written it well.

 

[blindrage]

CRAP!!! I felt sorry for her at the end. Curse you Rich! I really felt sorry for the witch.

 

[Agent Oracle]

I just want to go on record saying...

I never hated Miko, i pitied her.

And now, I am rewarded. Yes, she gained perspective. That was all she truly needed.

 

[Cheiromancer]

What's the plane just law-wards of Mount Celestia? Arcadia? She might go there.

That's one of the saddest damned stories I ever read.

Rich (and Miko), I salute you.
