Thoughts on CJ

[Robzombie]

fOR THOSE THINKING THAT cj MIGHT BE SWAT/POLICE, oops caps lock my bad....I think she would have had her service pistol with her and not just a sword at home...just saying.
Ladies, you might not get it but to us guys, we know CJ is hot, lol.
As for her sword it is not a Katana. Saul asks if its some kind of "ancestral sword you got trained on", were CJ replies "Katanas are Japanese, I'm Chinese you ass. I just know how to use it" implying that its not a Japanese Katana. Although the dialogue kind of doesn't make sense as he didn't ask, "is it a Katana". So its neither an ancestral sword or a Katana, but IMHO a sword that she had been trained on. The fact that she can do hand to hand combat and has a sword to me just means that she just has martial arts training....you can get sword training in most major/minor cities...I think it was just a hobby of hers. Although Saul calls her "crazy Katana chick" I don't think it means shes using a katana, he's just bugging/teasing her.
Her use of it it does not show a high degree of skill anyways as she didn't know to avoid thick bone or perform a strike without getting it stuck. She just knows how to use it again probably through some basic martial arts training.

I agree and think that this collectively negates the S.W.A.T and mental Heath background theory's.

Oh, and for the record, because i want my cookie when they get handedout...if CJ is not a a military officer, then my bets are that she was a school teacher. Not saying why right now but, well there ya go.

+1 Internet cookies to you sir!

Also I look forward to the details on your teacher idea.

CJ is a very contradictory character from my vantage point. I don't care for her. First she's the lone survivor of the first tower, and then she manages to survive and thrive on her own. She doesn't want anyone to join her but she lets people join her. She doesn't trust them, then she does, then she tries to kill them (tanks). Not even going to bring up her reaction to the two colonists they pick up....she's gung ho about the mission at the colony then she wants to keep Saul from rescuing Lizzy. W.T.F.? She makes me dizzy and I don't like her. She is consistently inconsistent. Yes, she can plan. I'll give her that.

HERACY!

Ehh,well anyway . . .
I don't know about the idea that she didn't want people to work with her then did then doesn't trust them etc, she was skeptical because she didn't know them but after they had showed skill and showed they were willing to lay down there lives for her she decided trust them and let them join her. With regards to the mission at the colony it's simple, she wants the sat-phone. She doesn't want Saul to reunite with lizzie, gung ho at first but when she realised that lizzie was definitely there and definitely pregnant she didn't want to pull off the mission as Mutch.

I'm pretty sure that the sword IS a katana, it's CJ who suggests the word katana, Saul never mentions it.
It reads to me that Saul is asking if it's an ancestral weapon and CJ is (in other words) saying "No, you FOOL, this is a katana, which is Japanese. I'm Chinese! That means it's not my ancestral weapon, I just know how to bleedin' use it!"

But...but....

"You came here when she was so close?" Only CJ could think of these things with her femoral artery split open.
I also loved her morphine high voice "Oh get a room!" but then you remember the wound and it makes it even worse.
For someone so smart to be able to be on the radio planning while drugged she has to know what the end result of a tourniquet is. :/

I think CJ is just a control freak. If I wrote the story I would make her the only child of a ex-Navy seal who treated her like a son. Dad would have taught her to hunt fish & fight. I guess she made her living as a martial arts instructor at her father's Dojo.
