Oh, gawd, Ursula wins everything forever. Yesterday I took some time and reread from when Digger and Murai got back to the temple and Ed was there because of Jhalm being a dick. It is both heart-breaking and perfect that Ed's last words were "Name is Ed!"
I've had the stupid conflicts vs. smart characters not getting into them discussion about TV shows. I really have a low tolerance for shows that rely on characters being stupid for the plot. Once in a while, I can live with it. Everyone has their dumb moments. But when every plot could be resolved in five minutes with one conversation, the show loses me. Or book or what have you, really.
There is so much to love about Digger. Digger totally blows the Bechdel test away without even considering it. The whole quest to the monastery bit was taken on by three female characters and the fact that it was three female characters just never was mentioned or an issue or anything. It's Digger and Murai and Grim Eyes and who they are and what they're doing that's important, not that all three of them happen to be female.
