@Alhazad: 1-Monty himself said he wasn't aiming for creativity long ago, and indeed, a good number of things in the show are pretty cliché. Not all of them subverted.

That said, I do wonder if the whole SEW idea was his, or was introduced by Miles&Kerry as a way to...well, stop Cinder and Kevin in Vol.3 so Vale had a chance. Similar to the Crucible in Mass Effect 3, a Deus Ex Machina introduced out of nowhere yet treated as very important, all because Bioware didn't think of a better way for Shepard to beat the OP Reapers beforehand.

2-"No victory in strength". Strength can be many things. Not just raw individual power. Strength in numbers, Willpower and Determination, among others.
