My issues with Carter come down to too much crap to ignore, from the first season on (she shoulda shot Jonas, but they wouldn't let her because she's The Girl - grr!). One of these years, I'm going to try to write something using canon Carter, but it won't be pretty. When I pull the entirety of her portrayal together, I come up with someone I wouldn't want to be in the same room with. Definitely someone I wouldn't trust to pick up a loaf of bread from the store for me.

As for the line in COTG, didn't bother me at all. :-) Seemed a touch naive, but I *loved* the attitude! :-) What's bothered me for years is the lengths they've gone to to make her The Girl rather than making her, y'know, a *character*.
