That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I still haven't recovered from his Marius. Hasn't anyone told him yet to keep his arms still? But casting him would have been a mistake for many reasons.
This is a hugely disastrous move on their part. It's insane from every angle. Obviously they have no grasp of the repercussions this will cause. Fitting (hopefully) end of the leadership over the last year(s).
