Pan handle burns

God, Meyer is an anti-human waste of space.
Having said that! The pan handle may weirdly be possible. I say this, because I have a severely scarred left hand thanks to grabbing a pan handle that was hot- and the skin searing to the metal, causing my palm to lock in place around the handle and leaving my fingertips pressed to it.
It burnt the fingerprints off- of course, it pretty much burnt everything else off too.
In conclusion: Melanie is either extremely scarred or stupid enough to put her fingertips on a pan base.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I know it is possible. ^^;; The way Meyer wrote it though, it was very unlikely, not to mention the narrative glosses over the healing of her hand with the mention of "medicines and bandages" to fix it. I'm sure that a trip to the hospital would have been involved at some point, if that were the case.
Whenever I start daydreaming some spitefics for this book, I realize that for Melanie, I'm channeling Mrs. Hyde's version of Rosalie! (Then again, Mrs. Hyde writes Meyer's characters better anyway.)
Imagine a Melanie with actual strength, craftily leading Wanderer out to die in the desert of exposure and dehydration. Letting Jared's location slip would be a decoy.
To be very fair, Melanie is a better survivalist than Bella, although that's hardly an accomplishment. The trouble is that she gets about halfway there, calling out Wanderer or something, and then goes and does something stupid, like begging her boyfriend for sex while they're hiding from aliens.
When is Meyer going to learn? You can't make a character smugly anti-human, support that character in his/her views, and then expect the audience to like him/her. Your audience is human! Telling everybody that we're all horrible, nasty people who deserve to be enslaved is not going to endear yourself to anybody
( ... )
Like I said, I'm still clinging to the dwindling hope that Wanderer will have a change of heart. I *ahem* happen to know what happens to her at the end of the story, but I don't know her actual thoughts, so yeah. Not looking likely, but I can dream. ^^;
And to Meyer's credit, Melanie is constantly calling the aliens out on being bastards. The problem is that, as Shaolina pointed out, her intelligence tends to diminish when her boyfriend makes an appearance.

I vote stupid.

...Oh man, now I want to write that story.
