[804] Why would you say such a cruel thing?

Holy crap...

Woah, I really was not expecting her to relish it this much. Jesus Annie, sadistic much? And "How could she ever love a creature like you?" Oh my going too far.

Maybe this is another case of Not-Annie. I realize she isn't a perfect angel, but this just seems... way too out of character.

This is perfectly in character and completely predictable. People say mean stuff when they're angry and insulted.

Oh my. This is a rather deep hole, isn't it? I wonder how far down it goes...

Maybe, but Annie seems to be getting too much joy out it... She knows he's suffering through this and is enjoying it...
That kinda steps it down from justified payback, to kind of sadistic and cruel.

Well, that shattered my little bubble of hope.

Hands down cold, hands down cruel. And she's forcing him to stay in toy-shape, where she's less likely to take him seriously (eta: in his demeanour, I mean). Plus it's the toy Surma made. He might even want out of that body.

Should mention, that bubble of hope was about Surma, not Annie. Oh, man...

Whuh guh bluh buh

Of all the things that could have happened, this was the one I expected the least.

Oh wow. Just, jeez, Annie. I can kind of understand her blowing up at him but that is really harsh.

Oh, really? What about the Mort incident? Annie doesn't really have a propensity for people close to her calling her dad a worthless deadbeat - the last time it happened she was too surprised to be angry. It is completely understandable that this would make her really angry. The fact that he's previously been supportive doesn't enter into it! Did you never get really mad at your parents?

As for enjoying it, that doesn't mean it's not anger. Annie's enjoying this because it is revenge for hurting her. This is how normal people act.

It appears that Annie is not only developing curves but is growing into a moody teenager who is quite capable of lashing out at those who care about her. We've all.... well most.... have gone through this and I believe we are seeing a very bad mood swing. Poor Renard..... he really didn't deserve this.... EVEN with his prod at her Dad. Touching a sore spot isn't equivalent to ripping a guys heart out.


*note: This is my first post ever, but I'm an avid reader of the forums. Three pages a week just isn't enough....

It's not a nice thing to do, or even a reasonable thing to do generally, but it's reasonable in terms of the character. I believe she's still feeling a fair bit of guilt and awkwardness over both Jack and cheating, although she's been hiding it, but when Rey came in and added to that guilt as well as talking crap about her dad, it pushed her over the edge.

Naw, naw, let's not fight over who was a moody teen or not themselves, we've gotta focus on Annie's outburst!
At one point, even if we don't remember it, we've all done something like this. It's an ugly thing to do, experience, and watch others do, enjoying what you're inflicting on someone. But it IS understandable, Annie's allowed to wig out every now and then, kid's got a lot on her plate. It seems cruel now (at least to me it does) but hopefully, Annie'll snap back to reality and apologize. And Rey should too, he brought this outburst upon himself.
