Message: <blockquote data-quote="Remus Lupin" data-source="post: 2149783" data-attributes="member: 12760">If I'm not mistaken, she was the one sleeping with the pilot when they kidnapped his family. (Footnote, wouldn't it really suck, to be fooling around on your wife, only to discover that she was kidnapped by the colleagues of the person you're sleeping with, and then find out that they've been killed, only seconds before being killed yourself? Right before the lights go out, I imagine the sense of guilt must be enormous, but maybe that's just my inner Calvinist).Anyway, back to the topic: Yeah, so I don't think we've seen her before this season. It kind of makes me wonder: I know (sort of), why fanatics do what they do. They're not motivated primarily by greed but by ideology, and I can sort of understand being willing to kill and die for ideology. I don't understand though, a person who's willing to kill, either with a gun or a missel, numerous people, just for money, as she seemed to be. I understand even less someone who's willing to put themselves at risk of being killed just for money.Interestingly, I would suggest that this makes Jack-the-adreniline-junkie more like the greedy mercenaries than like the fanatics. He might be motivated by ideology (protect the homeland!), but his real payoff is the thrill.</blockquote>
