The gal who played Nova on the old Star Blazers cartoon seems like she has an awful lot of pent-up hostility. I came across her guestbook, and I was shocked at what I read. Sounds like a classic case of overreacting.

Apparently, she tore into someone because he posted something about how hazardous it was for Nova to be the only female on the Argo. Maybe I'm being dense, but... What's so inappropriate about pointing that out? It sure didn't sound like a lewd comment to me; more like an observation.

An acquaintance of mine theorized that maybe she was victimized by some nasty fan fiction. Could be; after all, a lot of that stuff transcends the boundaries of good taste. Ultimately though, who knows?

Incidentally, if you meander over to her "rants" page, you'll see a lot more hostility and anger over there. I don't know what to make of it, frankly. I happen to agree with her on a lot of what she said, but she clearly expresses her viewpoint with undue sharpness and hostility. Criminy. Calm down, lady!
