CJ is business-like and clinical indeed. But I think that's a pretty normal reaction when so many around you have died horrifically. Some people go in for making human connections, others go in for shutting down, and self-protection. And to be honest, its the latter type that would probably do better in the acute stages of a zombie-eat-person world.

I'm not saying that CJ has always made the right decisions, or is a great leader or anything. But I can totally understand her character traits that everyone else seems to so dislike.
Perhaps I am wrong and this is an attribute she developed since the outbreak, but I don't think so. The vibe I am getting is that this is just her personality and always has been. There is a difference between not developing attachments to people as a way of easing the pain of they die, and acting like a queen/dictator working your pawns as hard as you can to achieve the maximum output. I see CJ filling the latter role. We see examples of the first type with Michael and Tanya trying not to get too emotionally attached to people and it is a very different emotional response than what we get with CJ.
