: No. It's a deliberate act. The malfunction didn't "scramble his brain : impulses," it removed his restraints.
That's your interpetation.
Not just mine, and it's one that fits all the facts. Look at the script too-- Avon says the Limiter is "feeding scrambled impulses into his brain." It's not the *brain's* impulses that are scrambled. It's the limiter's.
The text doesn't give us to believe that
we're seeing the true Gan. I'd grudgingly allow that it leaves the possibility open,
Why grudgingly?
but on the other hand we have:
AVON: It's not my field, but if I am right, then the limiter is feeding scrambled impulses into his brain.
which pretty directly contradicts you.
No it doesn't, see above.
The other couple times Avon
says "if I'm right", he is. ;-)
He also says, "It's not my field". If the author didn't want to generate doubt then there would have been no qualification. Later Professor Kayn, an expert (one of the exclusive specialists to whom Avon defers earlier in the episode, saying that they're the ones who know about this), says regarding Gan:
KAYN: Farron is a bureaucratic fool. I'm talking about stability, Renor, stability. With no stability there is no progress. RENOR: Progress to what? Brain implantation? KAYN: A dangerous psychopath? Certainly. Or would you prefer he'd been executed?
OTOH, I agree with you regarding Jenna and the manacles.
But not with your tone.
It took me two hours to answer that letter. If you think my tone was off then that's why. Anyway, it takes two to tango. If people are going to send a letter which is sharp, they shouldn't get all moral when they get a reply which is somehow less than friendly.
