kalinaraSo last time, Bitra FINALLY earned her villain descriptions and killed two characters I hated, which made me very happy. Thus I am inclined to go into this chapter with more optimism than usual.
Because I don't have it in me to not be a little critical, I do think maybe the Bitra plot would have worked better before Thread. While I appreciate that, once it came down to it, Bitra got to be a competent and effective villain, Thread is always going to be a much bigger threat. It was odd how isolated Bitra was from that plot. Did she even know that much about Thread when she enacted her plot? And the pre-emptive "look how evil she is" segments might not have seemed quite so over the top if we didn't have to wait eight years for the culmination.
I mean, we'd have needed a different reason for the return to space, but otherwise, I think Bitra should have been an act one villain rather than an act two villain.
( But now it's time to move on and see what happens next! )
