I can understand that. I’ve always loved her and felt that she was trying her best but just couldn’t quiet get it right sometimes. I also thought, as the commander, we treated her too harshly, far more than I would have liked.

Just my opinion and to each their own.

I wasn't happy to see Caithe because I originally loved the character. Then, it turned out that she's a selfish and vain sociopath: she kept a secret that nearly destroyed the non-Dragon life in Tyria, she killed her friend and justified it because her secret was too important. She ambushed the Commander (in the middle of a gorm-darned battle) claiming she wanted to apologize, and instead said, "yeah, I'd do it again, because the voices in my head told me to." Even Braham evolves and changes (although not ~~always~~ usually in ways that I've enjoyed), while Caithe just doubles down on her original choices & personality.

 

Then... I watched Kari Wahlgren's [behind the Voice](

) and she's so thrilled to be playing Caithe and her enthusiasm is infectious. And (naturally), Wahlgren doesn't see Caithe as remorseless or self-serving, so I'm ready to give her a chance. A tiny one.

You make valid points. Here’s to hoping on the next episode.

For me as well...

 

But, I am more interested in the issue with:

>! Taimi! We've always known she was terminally ill, but in remission. To find out she's no longer in remission means there's going to be a big sad tissue box worthy tearjerker episode coming up. Truthfully, I hope that she does die, but not because I hate her. In fact, quite the opposite. I want to see her die of her disease to prove disability does not mean inability. I want her to die because I don't want to see a golem of her running around. Give her the dignity she is due.

I do agree that it felt somewhat forced but tried to suspend reality for the sake of the story. My issue is if the same team isn’t going to do the next episode, how disjointed is it going to be because of the cliffhanger.

> Well the current story telling managed to redeem Braham. It might manage to do the same with Caithe. In the end of the day both characters are fine concept wise and were more betrayed by rushed writing in HoT and LS3. So there is potential in seeing Caithe again at this point.

 

I agree completely
