THE USUAL SPOILER WARNINGS: THE HAUNTED AIR, REBORN, CONSPIRACIES
ALowerDeep Wrote:Tara Portman stated (i believe) that she was brought back to kill Gia but would gladly spite that goal in order to have Gia's baby. And doesn't the otherness try and bring charlie back to hurt Gia but he fights it off? I don't think these are subtle things.
I never said these events were subtle, just ambiguous. Nowhere is it explicitly stated that the Otherness was the power behind Tara Portman or Charlie Kenton. That's the common assumption, but there are other possibilities -- other powers that may have motive to want Gia and/or her baby dead.
Quote:Also i do want to say i don't think that the Ally is as indifferent as we like to think. Look at its champion Glaeken, didn't he care about saving innocents much in the same way that Jack does?
The Twins were also agents of the Ally, and they had no trouble with killing an innocent person to try to break up the SESOUP conference, or from making a couple of attempts to harm Jack. The Ally also had no problem with trying to kill Carol Stevens in a rather horrible way in
Reborn, and one of the Ally's agents didn't hesitate to put an axe in Emma's head in the same book. Glaeken's motives come from within, not from the Ally, and he was chosen simply for his ability to get the job done, not because he cares about innocents. We have both Glaeken's and the Lady's word that the Ally is basically indifferent to our wellbeing.
