Character discussion: Visser One

[buffyangellvr23.livejournal.com]

...That's the first Visser One. I found it interesting how she started playing politics against Visser Three after she got her position yanked, and the Anis were kinda in the middle...she didn't tell about them because of the intent to use it against Visser Three, but there was a lot of deception and trickery by the group to keep her from the free Hork-Bajir while at the same time trying to stick one to the Visser.

What I don't get, why didn't she drop out of Eva earlier and go for the Kendrona when she was being executed? Would she have been stomped if she had?

I think the series needed Visser One - Visser Three was much closer to your standard villain, but Visser One shows why the Yeerk Empire was so successful, even when they have people like Visser Three spreading their incompetence around.

And yes, the whole complicated mothers-and-children relationship was absolutely fascinating with Edriss. You've got this create you can't be a mother in her own form, and yet is absolutely fascinated with the idea of motherhood. She wants to experience it, but can't really understand it fully.
