is Pegs Mental?

**Kunja** · May 26th, 2011, 04:36 PM

I don't read as much on here as I should... so forgive me if someone else has thought of this....
but after listening to the the last episode... has anyone suggested Pegs might be mentaly unstable...
giving her strong opposition to using a weapon in the early episodes (her knowing what she's capable of), and the fact she was working in a flower shop (reminds me of these inmates knitting as part as their rehab program)
I'm thinking this could tie her to being the shooter in the end of this last episode and possibly the rat?
another fact that lends to this is the fact she was skilled enough with a gun to shoot Latch during the war with the Mallers...
I do know alittle about guns and high stress situations... people, even trained officers loose fine motor skills and concentration under those conditions...
so I don't know If I should just count that as the "fiction" aspect of the story or if that was an intended clue...
what do you guys think??? am I crazy or does this make a little sense?

I'll give you it makes a little sense. I won't delve too deep right now, but i'll give you another bit of potential evidence: she absolutely lit the runner up that caught M/P/K in the car near the beach house. Best of my knowledge, that's the second time she shot a weapon in the show. Discuss.

There was a theory a while ago that she had a bad experience with a gun and it was why she wouldn't shoot one for the longest time. It took the threat of Michael's impending death to get her to draw that weapon and fire it.

pegs being a psychopath explains a lot.

I've started listening from the beginning, and when Pegs talks about not wanting to shoot a gun... It reminds me of the Rock in "the Run Down"
I just got a spooky vibe that she's nuts....
It would make for some good drama if Michael had to deal with her....

Pegs couldn't have been the one to shoot at the prisoners...she was in the room with Michael and the rest when that happened. Which episode are you talking about though? The episode after the party or the latest episode?

Latest episode. You're right. We know where Pegs was in the pre-war hysteria.

This would make sense, nobody really pays attention to the evolution of the pegs character herself. Simply the relationship she and Michael are/have forming....
