I'm only just now watching the full Borrasca V video instead of just their crashout at the end, so I'll probably receive a bunch of clocks for this, but MAN, I don't know how they even took it seriously for that long when I was rolling my eyes from the very beginning with Kimber marching up to a drug addict and going "Hey, I know it's midnight and you haven't seen me in almost a decade, and the last time we saw each other was the worst moment of our lives, but I'm heading off to a suicide mission to Drisking tomorrow morning on an eight hour drive to go meet some anonymous contact I won't tell you a thing about, and my only plan is to hope I can find my dead boyfriend, expose everything, and go John Wick on the entire mine with 30 guns, and I'll almost certainly get killed or raped if I fuck up this ten year plan in a single way, you in or out?" and he just goes "shit, okay". He's also remarkably functional for someone who's ostensibly a suicidal junkie, with a lot of his fuckups , aside from going back to the motel, being stuff that anyone could do while fully sober in the same conditions, and apparently being able to go full cold turkey in one week in a process that's just mildly uncomfortable for him and Kimber at worst.
Also I keep rereading the scene in the motel with Prescott, because I'm still not really understanding why he doesn't just fuckin...shoot Walker in the back of the head and call it a day if he really wanted him out of the picture. He had guys able to stop his men from immediately lighting Kimber the fuck up when she did the exact same thing, why couldn't he just have one of them shoot him instead of setting up this bizarre Wild West standoff that honestly shouldn't have worked? I don't know why the author would write a sequel to such a well-liked story in under 24 hours, even if it's for a challenge.
