Was looking at that story today, got reminded of him.

Yes, probably. I have a time limit due to needing to return the DVDs and vacation, so I'm still moving forward, though not happily.

That part makes sense except for what he does and how he does it. He rigged the ship to where they'd eject the slipstream core and that... Without allies to get him or knowing about his son and what he tried to do to the planet doesn't seem to fit because it would leave the Andromeda too vulnerable and he did want to take over the ship before. I didn't think it fit.

Orca pride. He was going to take the ship and start a pride with Freya. First year Tyr, it was totally in character.

Which was why to me damaging the ship in a way he couldn't use it didn't make sense.

[scribblemyname]

Well, he basically threatened to do it before. Think about Orca pride. He set a backup to blow up their weapon. He thinks in backups of backups of backups. Work with while useful, take over if possible, destroy if all else fails. With his early mindset it makes sense.

Once they were his friends... :growls in throat:

Well, I may have to watch it to get to the rest, but I still haven't just yet. I got a full docket today without it.

I can see it as his backup I guess, and he would leave it in place (but how that got missed when Harper has done so many repairs and the ship was retrofitted twice and all... still thin on their part.)

It may make more sense to you if you watch than it did me. I still can't see how he could do some of the risky things he did for the others and betray them (season 4 Tyr claims he was just using them, but that I still can't buy.)

I am a few episodes into season four, making slow progress but with my wacky sleep schedule, I have gotten in a few episodes a night (either before bed or when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep) so I got ahead.

Depends on where he hid it. But after that worldship encounter, one does wonder. There was a lot of rebuilding.

season 4 Tyr claims he was just using them, but that I still can't buy - let's just say that's the OOCness I knew was coming and ignored until I was upon it. :shudders:

There are a lot of holes with this plotline. As someone once pointed out, he did just destroy his kid's future/destiny.

It was in the slipstream, supposedly, which was definitely worked on after that point. Andromeda was just in for a retrofit the episode before the finale, too, which makes it make less sense.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to stick with my theory of the DNA changing process messing with his head. I can even excuse him choosing to do it with he wanted to protect his son by making himself the target.

The rest of it I don't buy. He was working to restore things, not tear them down. His son mattered to him, and he shouldn't have stolen the legacy from him. He also knew about the world ship and I thought he'd see the value of Nietzcheans working with the commonwealth at least until that threat ended.

He did get altered by the season two finale/season three premiere. That could have been where things started.

Alternate dimension cat/thing still in his head? That, I'll buy. Too bad they didn't go with that. :mourns: But yeah, that might be a fix-it I could write.

:adds watching bad episode back to docket:

[(Anonymous)]

Ah ha, a solution. One that makes sense.

It would fix a lot. And they never did explain that cat.

I'd even be okay with Tyr keeping the DNA switch if he unified the Nietzcheans with the Commonwealth to fight the Magog. That seems like the survivor thing to do, not destroy the largest pride and leave the Commonwealth vulnerable to attack.

I'd say maybe I could write that, but I'm not sure.

[scribblemyname]

I'm pretty sure the cat is the embodiment of the intelligence of that portal (or whatever's on the other side) that kept running the show and taking over their minds.

[(Anonymous)]

Makes sense.

Though I guess whoever wrote that episode doesn't like cats because he made it evil.
