Talk:The Eye of the Scorpion (audio story)

Question
The paragraph "Many of the character traits established for Erimem in this story would go on to be running themes explored throughout her run. The story was thus a bit unusual for a companion introduction in that it featured character beats that were typical of that companion, rather than things that were mentioned in her introduction and then mostly forgotten. It's not really possible to understand her actions in later stories like The Church and the Crown, The Council of Nicaea, Son of the Dragon, and her eventual departure in The Bride of Peladon without getting a good grasp on her motivations in this tale" seems like a whole lot of subjective opinion and not any fact grounded in sources or anything.

It's also extremely arguable. I'd say it's not unusual in the slightest, and the few cases where the opposite is true (like Mel's programming skills or Clara's computer skills being brought up in their first stories but not really returned to) are so small in number as to render the point invalid.

"The story was thus a bit unusual" and "It's not really possible to understand" sound too personalised and conversational for the wiki, I think.

 * The user that wrote this page's opening was known to occasionally be a bit biased. If you haven't rewritten the opening in - I dunno - a week and a half, I'll do the honours.


 * Also, quite a few novels/audios had Mel using her programming abilities. CoT     ?  16:08, March 29, 2017 (UTC)
