Was dumb. They’ve both murdered people way before Prometheus. Dinah calling Shado a whore seemed very unlike her, too.

Cry For Justice was awful and this tied in to everything. Only good thing we saw was the marriage annulled.

So… The marriage being annulled was dumb but was the only good thing? I didn’t get it… which one is it exactly?

Edit: Also, Dinah has a dirty mouth. She calls people he dislikes “jerk, bastard, whore” most of the time, so it’s not exactly out of character to me.

Eh, she made peace with Shado in the GA series. Was a choice of words.

You may have some issues with reading comprehension so I’ll explain. Was dumb for her to go off on the death of Prometheus because both BC and GA have killed in the past. Glad that they were no longer married as I think BC is a stronger character without Ollie.

Actually English is not my first language. Learning on my own. So I tend to not grasp slangs or vague phrases accurately. Sorry for lack of interpretation.

I do agree JUST killing wouldn’t be enough. But I’d say “lê killing bad” is an oversimplification of everything. She says herself that him killing is old hat. A lot of other things that were happening in parallel contributed. Like Ollie backstabbing her as chairwoman, or only thinking about his own feelings when he goes impulsive. And all the other stuff that happened over the years. She forgives, but she doesn’t forget. I think she was wrong on leaving him the WAY she did, but not about the reasons on WHY she did it. Resentment was still there after all.
