And I don't think that one should assume that Pynchon's characters are  
flat and/or lack feelings or depth simply because someone else keeps  
repeating that Pynchon's characters lack depth. Doc's stoned 'n  
sentimental, not the worst combo that could happen by a long shot. Doc  
has feelings and wants to do the right thing, even though  
circumstances make that sort of decision-making a bit of a trial.
