Well, yes, I suppose there had been more awkward moments ("Guess this conversation never existed" comes to mind), but this was still a very, very bad moment. Had they focussed specifically on Pilgrim powers, it would have been good - something along the lines of "Sir, when you told me to take the helm, was it because I'm part-Pilgrim?" This would be understandable, since even though Blair was ignorant of his own powers, he must have heard plenty about the uncanny navigational abilities of the Pilgrims in general. What's more, this would solve another critical problem - it would explain why Blair's talking to Paladin anyway. For us, having Paladin in the role of the mentor makes sense, because we know him from the games. But an audience unfamiliar with the universe wouldn't understand why Blair would go talk to Paladin, who did appear to be quite a tough and unpredictable persona at this stage.Originally posted by Bandit LOAF
As for Paladin's explanation -- that definately wasn't the *most* awkward piece of dialogue in the movie... I could see Blair asking Paladin about what it means to be a Pilgrim (since he doesn't understand the idea of Pilgrim powers yet).
Hmm... yes, that was a bad one all right .Absolute worst line ever in WC: "That wasn't hot-dogging, Maniac... that was the work of a true master."

Err... "the move of a true master"? Eek.Originally posted by Wedge009
Why was the "hot-dogging" line so bad?
