As far as the "rival", I have to see where that's going. I've never been one for gratuitous romance sub-plots (or gratuitous subplots and characters of any kind) so to see what a rivalry or even the Blaise storyline itself contributes to the whole is something I await.
At this point, Tam should be ready to argue, starting with, "You are just soooo male..." and she'd be right. I just could not care less about romance and feelings and all of that; I never have had the remotest interest a a story or film that deals with the genre.
I have as much impatience with films today gratuitously including LGBT characters and relationships, or Star Wars as of late making the "good guys" a multi-racial and multi cultural grouping with the "bad guys" being monolithically white, male, and most commonly with British accents, just to be "with it", when the exploration of these inclusions in subplot turn out to not matter a whit to the story. However, if that exploration is important to the plot, I'm good.
Which is why I'm the guy who, when watching the Battle of Britain for the umpteenth time, fast-forwards past the love interest nonsense. It has nothing to do with the battle at all, and bores me to death.
