User blog comment:AustinDR/How Much Can You Blame Mr. Tetherby?/@comment-32807753-20171103061514

Time for another one of my long-winded rants. I completely agree with you.

That's actually one of the reasons I don't hate Out on a Limo as much as other people do. If anything, I actually call it a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.

I honestly hate the cliche of "this character is innocent because another person told them to do it". I don't care if you were tempted, influenced, or whatnot, unless you are being completely brainwaished, hypnotized, or whatever, people should have control over their actions and know what's right or wrong. If someone tells you to do something that's wrong, you know it's wrong, and you still do it, you are just as at fault as the person who told you to do so. You had the option of going against the person's claims, but by choosing to do so, you are at fault too. I'm glad this episode managed to avoid doing this.

Lincoln had full control of his actions. He should know what's right and what's wrong, and in the end, he chose to do the wrong. The episode knows this, and it gives Lincoln the punishment he deserves. Lincoln had a choice. Tetherby is by no means innocent, but Lincoln is no better.
