Braxiatel did WHAT?!?!?!

[ceebee_eebee]

I've been going through the Bernice Summerfield audios and I just listened to The Crystal of Cantus. Is anyone else listening to these? Because I am TOTALLY FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW and need someone to talk to me about this...



BRAX IS EVIL?!?! Like totally and completely and disgustingly evil?!?!? Holy fucking shit. I listened to most of that story with my mouth hanging open. I mean we always knew Brax was a scheming son of a bitch, but EVIL?! No! He...he can't be! Is it Pandora still in his head making him this way? Is it just some serious time-lord-style PTSD from the whole Fifth Axis thing? I mean what he did to that poor Ronan guy and was about to do to Jason...it's too much. It was beyond scheming bastard, it was full on EVIL.

I guess my question is, does Brax redeem himself somehow later on? Do we ever get any explanation for how he went from the questionable politician who eventually does the right thing in the Gallifrey series to the kind of amoral piece of shit who would turn his friend into a cyberleader? I just feel so thrown for a loop by the whole thing. Poor, poor Jason.

You and me both. I just don't understand how I (we) could have misjudged him so severely! I mean, it's not just that he was prepared to do something so cold and calculatedly horrible to someone who considered him a friend, it's that he seemed to pleased to do it. Not sorry or sad or anything. It was gross. And I liked Brax.
