Granted, so is Tyler, but he was being an idiot who doesn't know how to solve things without casual hypnotism, especially when if he'd only *talked* to me, I could have told him that he didn't have to do any of it in the first place!
[And, you know, maybe not have made Steven an unwilling accessory to his unnecessary brainwashing?!?]
