[QUOTE="tommie, post: 295150, member: 370"] Yes, and this is where Krystle in the original should've gone (and what Claudia alluded to, but didn't actually show up on screen) - as I said, some of the most evil people on the planet are the ones who've seen themselves as "good people" and have done acts so unspeakable because they could justify it as doing it for the greater good. To drag it to the extreme, Hitler never saw himself as a bad person for sending people to death camps. Ironically, I think a person like Blake is better suited for a power position from the pure fact that he probably doesn't see himself as a good person and is more ambivalent about his own morals. I think this is a good step in making Cristal a more complex and interesting character - she sees herself as a good catholic and does things from that stand-point. But are her actions [I]really [/I]good or is it because she herself sees them as justified? [/QUOTE]
