I keep puzzling over that... I can't really follow it. Does anyone really understand what's going on with it?

I think it has something to do with subtype shifting. What do you think?
OH MAN I LOVE THAT SHOW but I don't think I got up to 22... stopped at like R2 13 or something.
When I catch up I'll let you know.. but what exactly do you mean by subtype shifting?
She is wiseWhy I love LSEs:
beyond words
beautiful within
her soul
brighter than
the sun
lovelier than
love
dreams larger
than life
and does not
understand the
meaning of no.
Because everything
through her, and in her, is
"Yes, it will be done."

Then he goes on a suicidal course in which he basically rejects all value for human life, from what I saw.
What brought about the transformation? It's not clear. For that matter, if he is, as some here have suggested, an LSI, then why the emphasis on protecting his family, given protection is arguably Si and Si is his demonstrative function?
Perhaps he's SLI, lack of Fi-subtype, vengeance-driven motivation, and his masks falls as he gets closer to his objective.

And finally, he ultimately commits himself to the future, criticizing those who cling to the past. Also, SLIs aren't as good at tactics as LSIs, because their alpha Ti isn't as strong. And if vengeance was important to him, he couldn't possibly be devaluing of Fi, because vengeance is a motivation.
No mask is that strong, that it would become a person's entire life. And there is no such thing as a "lack of Fi-subtype".
