i expected an essay about lina inverse to be happier

You've definitely given me a lot to think about! Now I really want to reread the novels I have already and find some others. I've only read parts, like QP Diana's translations of the side stories, and I think that's why I avoid using them for character/plot analysis - my knowledge is too spotty.
She was extremely quick to yank it out in TRY against Valgaav, and that always bugged me given what happened in NEXT (I think it also bugged me that others didn't get onto her for that).
I agree plot-wise it was questionable, but when applied to characters that's kind of what I like about the anime. To a certain degree each anime season "resets" - like taking three steps forward, two steps back, development-wise. So I think that's why I didn't like the new season as much; there was the same "reset," but then Lina's character developed in a different way than I was used to.
