Hi all,
I've only just started watching the first season of Numb3rs and got an immediate bad feeling about Amita. Going from what I've read about season two and three, this feeling isn't unjustified.
Ofcourse this leaves me doubting if I should actually continue watching beyond season one?
I don't know if any of you ever watched The Sentinel years ago ( Read more... )
WHY pair a great character like Charlie up with a... whatever Amita is?
I honestly don't get it. I don't get the people who think Amita is the greatest person *evah*. (TPTB included)
I just rewatched "Assassin" last night, and cannot understand why anyone would find her behavior acceptable. You *don't* let a guy go to the expense and trouble of buying tickets to a concert when you have other plans!
And what about "Convergence"? If you care about a guy (or even if you don't but are his collegue) you don't let his rival into his office when he's not there! You don't tell him you're concentrating on your work, then trot out for coffee with a guy who has just trashed his work.
Undercurrents. If you care about a guy, you talk to him. If you think he's taking advantage of you, then you don't sit around sulking, then blow up at him.
Season 3. If you care about a guy, you don't spend all of your time with him picking him apart.
No, I don't want Charlie with a "Stepford Wife", but I don't want him with an insecure b**** who has to tear him down to make herself feel better.

I mean, she knew he was planning to take her to the concert. The fact that he didn't physically have the tickets in hand doesn't matter. A date was set and she totally, unexpectedly blew him off. What a B*tch.
The other eps you mentioned do not sound promising at all.
I like Charlie a lot and the fact that he lets himself get jerked around by someone like that saddens me.

It never ceases to confuse and infuriate me that A) the writers contest that this is appropriate behavior for either a woman, a professional, or a love interest to the MC, and continue to write it; B) Charlie is written as so pathetically hung up on her that he's completely lost his spirit and his originality; and C) the audience can stomach it.
Seriously. The fact that people actually LIKE her baffles me. I can't understand it whatsoever. Now, to be sure, I have a one-track mind, so I have a hard time understanding little else but my own ideas. I try to be open-minded, and look at things from others' points of view-- like the going to dinner with Marshall thing. The fans' argument on that was that just because she and Charlie were dancing around each other didn't mean Amita could not have professional relations with other guys.
Which is true. If it had been strictly a business dinner, in which they discussed theories and whatever academics discuss, Charlie wouldnt've had a leg to stand on. But that's not what happened. They went to dinner and discussed Charlie, like two high school gossips. Then she told Charlie she didn't want a relationship, before promptly heading off to have pie with Penfield. The fans' argument is pretty much obliterated.
It's just pathetic. Disappointing to no end.
(I don't want him with a Stepford wife either, but would it hurt to have him involved with a woman who actually cared about him the least little bit?)
