Okay, this perfectly describes what I'm talking about:

Emily isn't crazy, she's just childish almost to the point of developmental delay. This is combined with a genius-class intellect and a total lack of understanding of social norms that screams 'auteur' to me.
Either that or the interrogation she underwent after the EMP incident unseated her mind a bit. It might explain why she doesn't really 'get' the threat made to her family.
My feeling is that her project would have hooked all satellites, including reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering spacecraft, onto the internet. The objective was to allow their CPUs access to chatrooms. The unanticipated side-effect was that anyone could access their raw data feeds. You can understand why the NRO might be a tiny bit upset.
Pilchard123:
Maybe really did encounter a Great Old One that day.

--- Quote from: brown paper bag on 14 Dec 2014, 21:26 ---Kinda like Sven. He's the one immutable object in the comic. His character has grown the way slime grows on raw meat in the hot sun. He started as a selfish and dishonest philanderer, and after his long absence during which he reflected on his life (meaning Jeph spent a long time scratching his head about what to do with him), Sven came back as a full-blown sociopath who couldn't even get the basic concept of other people having minds and desires and plans of their own.

Err, I never liked Sven, but even I wouldnt call him "sociopath". Also, I dont see how Sven has been inconsistent, yet. He is simply very skilled in one area of social interaction - but not that good in other areas.
--- Quote from: jwhouk on 14 Dec 2014, 17:36 ---Is there any pairing in this whole comic that would be a "good long term match"?
--- End quote ---
Even Sven and Faye had been a better match.
--- Quote from: Nyithra on 14 Dec 2014, 21:41 ---I agree and as a person who has dealt with mental illness myself I don't really appreciate a craaaazyy character being played for humor.
--- End quote ---
Seriously ? We kill characters for political correctness now ?! You have fun with that, but I'm sorry, I wont participate.
Nyithra:
How is what I said in anyway implying political correctness and killing character? I have had no problem with how Emily has acted up until these last two comics. It seems as though she is just acting 'random' in order to play it up for laughs.
