 * Epileptic Trees:
 * Get On With It Already
 * Heartwarming Moments:

 * And the ending, with the final quote by.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In spades.
 * Chapter 22, Act 2. That is all.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Both Raimi and Oran.
 * Magnificent Bastard:
 * Moment of Awesome:
 * Oran's first battle with Charles and Bravado: "I believe!', and the Meaningful Echo of that same line in the Grand Finale.
 * "You are going to get the girl and tell me what I want to know now, or I will fill your computers with gig after inhuman gig of child pornography. I will flood the FBI with perfect shots of you touching little boys of every age and creed--sent from your e-mail address, and I will smile when I think of the prison brothers prying you open and turning your ass into a gaping, bloody parking space. I can do it. In minutes. From anywhere. Believe it."
 * Moral Event Horizon:

 * Tear Jerker: A number of moments, for a number of different reasons.
