To point #1 (doing it this way, because the lack of stack quoting on this forum makes responses difficult without losing context): Yeah, that was it. As for the danger, consider the environment. Civilization is on its last legs, people aren't exactly impressed by the value of their own lives anymore, they just want a little excitement before they die.

To #2: Don't blame you. These scenes don't exactly appeal to the higher brain functions.

To #3: Well, we agree on that, at least.
