WTF is up with Irisa?

[Coolrockski]

She's suffering from TGS. Teen Girl Syndrome. Honestly though, I'm getting more than a little sick of this vision crap. Better turn out she has nano-bots in her brain too, because it's lame.

Also, when will get to see her in some extended action..that is much more appealing than the Disney channel teenage stuff she is up to?

Angst in all its glory, fine; but tying up, and putting in danger, your parent? That's simply psycothic, period.

Weakest episode so far, by a huge margin, in my book. The whole vision nonsense was old when they introduced it, and this latest romp through Sillytown where a supposedly nano-bot controlled corpse articulates notions of "holy mission" instead of some sort of "Must Protect Votans, Compute" irks me.

Also, please; it's raining heat-resistant spaceship debris from Earth's orbit and you expect us to ignore the fact that anyone hit by this would be turned into so much hamburger, or have a nice hole through their body and the ground beneath them? "It can pierce clothing and flesh" indeed.

Ridiculous "oversight" and served no purpose as far as I could tell, plot or otherwise. Mr. Tophat could have been perforated instead of having a chunk of debris magically stick in the soft tissue of the throat... nonsense.

Favorite part of the show so far. When Nolan hit Irisa while she was tying him (Yea, tying her dad just cause some guy she met recently told her to). He needs to do more than that, she doesnt seem to care for him as much as he does for her.

There are some who say that teenagers' brains are in such a state of flux that they could be considered clinically psychotic, but I don't disagree with you in your point here at all!

I just thought part of the main arc of the story was the strong bond between her and Nolan. Now, as a viewer, you may quesiton that. I guess as a dad I'm skewed to think my daughter would put a gun to me over some dude..and I know she is adopted, but adopted kids and biological kids ususally have equally strong bonds when raised from a young age. In fact, the fact he saved her *** should make that bond stronger.

Again, she is youthful and rambunctious. Her species has little affect on that. But that bond is still there. During the Volge attack when she brought the irath spirt riders...all up till now. After she had the vision and begins taking off. The line she said to Nolan before cut-scene.

I still see that father/daughter bond going strong.

Honestly, everything can be easily explained by Irisa also having nanobots in her body. Her desire to protect Sukar. She even told him "To make sure you didn't hurt anyone" She's following the nano bot prime directives. The visions, her actions, everything.

Plus, nobody knows for sure if they got ego implants or not. They were on the strato *shrug*

She is in her teens. Most kids turn into ungrateful little snots around that age. I know I did.

This.

Shes not in her teens she is a 22 year old brat. Its like when i pointed out the scene between her and the deputy being awkward because she comes off as the troubled teenager. Everyone was quick to point out that she wasnt a kid she was 22.


They realy need to decide if she is a child or a adult. It would make the show play out better than her being a teen one week and grown the next.

[StarBat]

We don't really know Irath developmental stages. 22 could be their 14. Like Torc, is he old, young, the dude could be 190. Is he even a dude?! We just don't know.

He stole her, the full details of his black ops mission haven't been revealed.
