Every time I read about one of KJA's atrocious ideas, I'm even more glad I haven't read the prequels and sequels. I like it that my first thought was "who is Erasmus?"

Ditto for me, and sincerely i don't know who Erasmus is! (I could go and read the entry in the Wikipedia)Mandy wrote:Every time I read about one of KJA's atrocious ideas, I'm even more glad I haven't read the prequels and sequels. I like it that my first thought was "who is Erasmus?"

Tell me, was this really necessary, KJA/BH?Abruptly, with powerful hands, the robot ripped the painting and its frame into tiny pieces. As if putting a punctuation mark on the grotesque display, Erasmus whirled and stomped on the broken pieces, saying, "Call this artistic temperament."
It is indeed a nice metaphor. Isn't there a passage where one of the BG thinks or talks about having OM tracing that exact painting back to it's origins? The frustrating thing is that if we send KJA proof that was a fuck up he'd just say "no no no, what you don't understand is that this was just from the point of view of Erasmus, he just thought it was his painting..."

I think it's the perfect metaphor for what's been going on with the prequels. Erasmus (KJA creation) ripping the painting (Franks creation) to shreds.
