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?

Which fifty different pages in TAC, out of curiosity? *hasn't read it in months*

I kind of wish the fifty page walk through the Time Matrix Park would have been the fifty extra pages of happiness Elfangor got with Loren

but that just might be my fangirlishness spiking out of control, idk

I would have liked Loren/Elfangor explored more too. I didn't quite buy it the first time I read it, but it grew on me. Some more delivery of how that relationship really worked would have been nice.

[anijen21.livejournal.com]

yeah, exactly. Though I guess when I first read it, I was young and ideal and gullible so it was more me going "WTF...WTF...WTF!" upon each revelation. I mean, not only is Loren like 16 but she's fucking her alien friend she fell in love with after a week?

wtf

Hah, yeah. Though my thing was more of me taking a long time to warm up to Loren. For a long time she almost felt Sue-ish to me, like she had no special powers but she was such a special snowflake person who seemed almost tailor-made to have Elfangor fall for her. IDK. I like her more now.

lol ngl I didn't know I was supposed to hate sues until learning what a sue was. then I hated them like, with compounded interest.

never thought of her as one, though

[lisacharly.livejournal.com]

Heh, I totally didn't know what a Sue was, I just remember thinking "this girl is a little TOO cool" when I was a kid and giving her the fisheye. I mean, I thought Rachel was cool too, but at least we got Rachel's narration at that point where she was like "I wasn't brave I was just blind LOL".
