kapuahiSo thats a subject line that is going to get me all sorts of nasty isn't it?
I'm kind of fond of Malia. Reiko was absolutely perfect in the scene where Chin was fixing his 'mistake'.
This led me in turn to a question or an observation of sorts.
What the fuck did they do? Why did they deliberately set Lori up for a fall? Because I can think of no other explanation for what they have done to that character.
Look at all the other regular and semi regular women on the show. Kono is kickass and adored. Catherine serves a purpose isn't pushed in our faces and is for the most part loved. Jenna might have been in the first wave of fandom hate, but she seemed to have overcome that and I at least loved her. We all seem to love Malia. Same for Governor Jameson. We may be split over Rachel but she's at least accepted for the most part. Mary can be contenious but she's accepted for the most part. Gabby has been there for what two episodes and and we're all making grabby hands to see more of her. Have I missed anyone?
And then there is Lori. They've jammed her between McDanno, used her to replace Kono, tried to push her on to Steve, given her thenon existant babysitter role, made her an honest to God superwoman, and generally done everything they can to turn fandom against her. As a consequence 90% of fandom wants to push her out of whatever moving vehicle we see her in. They can't be that stupid, and they can't have lost their writing mojo over the last hiatus.
Why have they done this? Purpose?
