On MBTI and discovering seven years later that people had so completely taped the Seeker: Yes. I imagine it’s like when someone has put someone who is recognizably you in a book, and a part of you is admiring the skill of the execution, and another part is yelling “Get out of my head!” :) Yup. Right down to the parts that seem like inconsistencies (he uses drink/drugs/sex to cope when he's out of sorts, which seems odd for someone so sensible & controlled, except this is standard behaviour) - basically it's sort of like magic.
– So not only do Roda and the Seeker know each other too well, the Seeker has to know himself too well. And, since they’re telepathic, Roda knows the Seeker knows the... ack! WELCOME TO OUR WORLD/brains.
But this is even more poignant. (And “innocently” is even more inaccurate...) I didn’t fully appreciate the perversity of it until this additional exploration. Now I'm wondering how we could have written it better...
If I could arrange the public pension, I would totally swing it so you could do DVD commentaries for these. Oh god, I would do it for FREE. Except... time. /o\
Failing that, I’ll just have to continue with the ridiculously long explanation-unwinding comments. I can talk forever, please keep on! The more comments the better, it's like Christmas! <3
