I’ve seen surgeons walk in looking like that before. I suspect he has the whole scene in his head arranged like Misery, but for some reason, I suspect she was a pretty solid doctor who is flaming mad at him in part for his ingratitude (and philandering). I can totally see her experimenting on his conquests, though.
I agree that she was a solid, if Revolutionary Doctor, like a cross between Ignaz Shimlwize and Frankenstein, both of whom where obsessive and persued offenders with violent zeal. Shimlwize died in prison for attacking a proponent of the debunked “perpeperl” theory, all of whom were no different from mass murderers to him. I am sure he would have been suicidal had he felt responsible for a lot of preventable deaths, which I think Vane feels. I have never felt that she hates him for being ungrateful so much as for mistakingly expressing his gratitude in a way she finds utterly intolorable. If the Reverend COULD send her to hell, vane would be ironically grateful, but I grow more convinced with each installment that the only way to kill an elemental wraith is to slay its caster.
Curioser and curioser… So, Vane’s operation on Hunter was apparently not entirely altruistic and could have required the sacriifice of numerous “patients”. Then Hunter brings her back from the dead and she chases him all over the frontier… All love is selfish, I guess, but it remains unclear who the true villlain is, or if it’s only one of them who’s a villain.
I’d really hate to be her patient.
With apologies to Schoolhouse Rock:
Dysfunction Junction, what’s your function?
Hooking up villainous hus-bands and wiv-es.
Dysfunction Junction, how’s that function?
I got two favorite hellions
That get most of my job done.
Dysfunction Junction, what’s their function?
Population control—
the really really hard way.
“Fire”
That’s an additive, like “burn with fire”
“Guts”
That’s sort of problematic, because “their guts are missing”
And then there’s “Gore”
Gore, spread all over.
“Fire, Guts, and Gore”
Get you pretty far.
Dysfunction Junction…
This is amazing. I love it. You are amazing. I love you.
good ol’ schoolhouse rock. nice work.
Chills…
I’m sure that this is gonna make her happier with you…
Definitely… *rolls eyes*
Is that even his goal? Or is he trying to make her mad enough to melt her chains?
God I love her blue eyes

OK, that’s REALLY persuasive. Thank you. – this comment is certified 100% irony free, which may SEEM ironic, but I don’t mean it that way.

Okay so paralyzing someone is bad, no argument, but surely UNparalyzing them earns you most of the way back to being square.
