121: ROFL

137: ILU Anon.

146: I find it to be a very realistic metamorphosis for the character. I know several former goofy-looking so-called losers who've turned out spectacularly. And I'm just egotistical enough to think that I didn't turn out too badly myself. Absolutely don't lose hope. Time works miracles, sometimes.

154: As I see it, Elle's function as a character is intended to be development from a very large child into a (somewhat) functioning adult. HRG is treating her like the viewpoint-stunted, self-centered, impulse-controlled individual she is, which is to say he's treating her like a child. It's creepy because we're used to seeing people her age be actual people to some extent. She's...really not. When you think about it, she's quite the spoiled bully. She's not aware that she's letting anyone do anything, because she's been raised to be dependent. And, all manipulation aside, when it comes to her interaction with HRG, she's doing the same thing fans tend to do: believing and trusting the voice that tells us everything is NOT OK. It's part of becoming self-aware...which is part of growing up, which she needs to do.

156: Sheesh, another LJ fandom that's turned on its source? I'm glad I haven't tried to get into it.

174: I never understood the hate. I wasn't in love with him, but I can't fathom the level of rage I'm apparently supposed to harbor against him.

154 OP

154. I agree, Elle is very child-like in many ways. And at first it looks like she is going to grow out of the daughter role, and grow less dependent on her father. But now everything points to her simultanously growing more dependent on HRG. She's merely switching from one father figure to another. That's not growing self-aware, it's not growing up.
She's going from one co-dependent father/daughter relationship to another, and to Bennet of all people, who does not even seem to have her best interests at heart.

The fact that fandom does not SEE this... just sad.

'K...think it's time for me to go seek out the peripherals I obviously haven't seen. I'm not in a position to make a distinction between someone needing to make mistakes in order to learn, vs. blindly following one's programming, at my current stage of this game.

Re: 156 OP

156. I know. I mainlined the first three seasons over the Summer, and when the show returned with new episodes? Talk about a slap in the face. And here I was looking forward to general squee and happy thoughts. Yeah, not so much.

Re: 156 OP

Holy crap, I did the same thing this summer.
