Not all of it, of course.<br /><br />The tight POV (correct term?) in the scene with Bhatterji and Miko really works well to suggest what we see isn't necessarily the seduction Bhatterji thinks, but quite possibly sexual harassment. Not just lustful, but abusing a position of authority & hence a bigger jerk than we've seen Gorgas to be.
