** His reading on Rennala is radically different than the commonly accepted (and obvious) interpretation, taking her experiments with reincarnation not as the deluded obsessions of a madwoman, but as a path to rebirthing herself, being renewed and stronger than ever. He does acknowledge that her being a broken madwoman is more likely, but finds the reincarnation interpretation more interesting.

** Speaking of Rennala, he has a less kind view on her ex-husband, Radagon. Based on Miriel's dialogue and the placement of the Red Wolf in the academy, Skyen's first impression of Radagon is as a shrewd political schemer who seduced Rennala at the behest of his true queen, Marika, and then abandoned her when he was more useful elsewhere. As for the wolf, Skyen sees it not as a token gesture of affection, but as a watchdog set to kill any potential threat to Marika's reign.

Evil Albino is cut, see Administrivia.Split Tropes. However, the entry can be salvaged for Albinos Are Freaks, which is about discrimination against albinism, which is exactly what TB Skyen was talking about.
* AlbinosAreFreaks: Conversed in his reviews of the ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' characters with the default look of [[OmnicidalManiac the Dark Urge]] being a [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver white dragonborn with red eyes and markings]]. He dislikes it, citing sources on how people with albinism are discriminated against, demonized, and even ''killed'' for that stereotype, and states that Larian Games probably shouldn't have picked a design that could be misconstrued as an albino person for a dangerously unstable serial killer.
