Heh, I was thinking about this m'self. I've stayed out of the Lib and GJ thread because, the way I see it, my character has been really looking at things narrowly enough to not have much to say either way.
I tend to agree with Mal; whether or not she *is* always right (and I'm willing to go either way) is secondary to how some of the characters are seeing her.
Ebony's thoughts though... now there's a good one. Even if you've not seen the series, that hit pretty much how things work. She issues orders that may seem insane to some of us, some people work around them behind the scenes, things work out for reasons totally unrelated to what she seemed to be directing.
Thought of another way, she's a forceful and charismatic personality delegating authority in unconventional ways.... and the way we're reacting is pretty much how she's used to things working. Whether it's conscious or not... well bugger, who can tell?
