Yes it is two characters but they're brothers and you can't really talk about one without needing to discuss the other so this week we will discuss both.

What do you think about Colum and Dougal?

Which did you prefer?

What didn't you like about them?

What about Dougal's hatred/dislike for Jamie.

How did you feel when Dougal was killed by Jamie?

Any other thoughts?

Definitely two characters, I never felt like they were two halves of the same person.

Colum is absolutely my favorite. He can be coldblooded, but if he weren't he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did. I didn't like dougal in any way, maybe because he had no problems betraying anyone who he perceived as a threat.

He was too cold, it was hard to like him in any way.
He was absolutely jealous of Jamie and I think that's where the hatred stems from.

I wish it had been another who had killed Dougal and not Jamie. It brought him down to Dougal's level and Duogal had by then sunk pretty low.
