Instead of writing that...post out, could you have not written out something substantial. Say maybe the Pope's reaction to Vlad, and him relaying the information to the people on the ground. That would have actually advanced the story.
I'd say it advanced the story more than Vladimir torturing some random guy to death. Case in point: my post showed that there is a large flaw in the lesser clones in the Collective, namely that they are too much like humans. Omega and Mentar showed us that they can become proud and furious, while Sigma and Xi showed us that they can long for freedom and love as well. It adds an entire new depth to the Nasagori clones, a depth scarcely explored.
And my post showed something that I think wasn't shown in Vlad before. Before, Vlad enjoyed battle and didn't care if he killed anyone. Now with him fully synched with Wrath, he actually enjoys causing pain and he enjoys the thrill he gets from the torture he gives. That shows a fundamental shift in Vlad that could affect everyone. Now he has no qualms about killing, betraying, and torturing people to get his way. Say he wanted to control Dugal and Snow, he would go after Melody. Before he wouldn't go after children, now he doesn't care and would harm Melody to get others to bend to his will.
