Why I love DW II (and hate it)

[Bob Schroeck]

Going back and looking at everything, now that I have the time, I don't see anything else I really need to address. Doug's first couple (combat) experiences with boomers, combined with his exposure to the "urban myth" of the rampaging boomer, have led him to believe that they are the rule, not the exception. But I think I make it pretty clear that the opposite is in fact the case -- Madigan calculating the extent of a boomer "rampage" down to the building number where it'll be stopped, the fact that Boomer incidents had dropped dramatically that in the years before Doug's arrival (during the "truce" that had evolved), and the like all suggest or show that there's almost nothing accidental about it. The one big exception -- the boomers at Bunko's -- really is a case where they "went mad," but that was more because IDEC shot itself in the foot when trying to reprogram them than any inherent flaw in the boomer brain itself.
