Quote:I'm completely and totally familiar with what you're talking about. I just don't agree that Monroe's statement is a good example of important background information within a story.Monroe provided information of a historical use of furis rubian. The use was religious related.
The case they are working on involves the religious use of furis rubian.
The writer is showing that what Dwight was doing was not unique. How it was done is not important, it is the fact that it was done.
How about if we call it Monroe providing Trivia. True the information had nothing to do with solving the case.
But it is important because a wesen is exposing himself. This is something that violates the council rules. The poses the question why isn't Dwight in trouble with the council. By Monroe providing that piece of Trivia it sets the precedence that the council must be ok with it.
Embrace your inner Biest..... We all have one
