I was reading this article on Cracked- particularly #4. It basically outlines how in Die Hard with a Vengeance, Simon Gruber basically sabotages his own perfectly good heist plan, only better than I can, so go read it.

Now- isn’t this essentially the same phenomenon that we find in every revenge plot driven episode of The Wild Wild West?


This happens a lot, but I’m going to give people like the bad guy from TNOT Lord of Limbo a little leeway, because they probably didn’t know how all this was going to end. But Doctor Loveless always does this, and he has to know that Jim is going to mess up his perfect plan because that’s what Jim has done every single time they’ve met since they met.

I know that knowing he’s going to suffer isn’t the same as seeing it, Doctor- but we all have to make sacrifices.
