I was talking to a friend about this tonight and she felt like the last scenes with him are meant to convey just how chilling the character is, and I can see why she thinks that, so I'm not completely sure that they think it's JUST funny, if that makes any sense. The problem is that they do serious so, so poorly so if they're at all ambiguous or leave anything open to interpretation, it almost always reads as broad comedy. I don't know how to solve that problem for them, but once they blew the ethics on the wraith situation I had to just stop engaging with the show on any kind of critical level at ALL.
I still haven't engaged with my anger regarding what they did to Elizabeth.
