TOTALLY. And I haven't even begun to rant about the inconsistency in how the character acts/reacts. I really, really feel for Ashley Scott, because she ended up with the wrong end of that particular stick, that's for sure.
But Mimi was fully aware she was selfish and self-centred even at the very start. And I don't think particularly liked herself like that. I felt she believed she had to be that way to survive in her big city world, but once she got stuck in Jericho, she could allow herself to grow to be the nicer person she wanted to be.
Word. I've always wondered if she was the way she was because of the implied affair she had with a married man (or at least in love with a married man). Was she hurt so badly that she became selfish and self-centred in self-defence? What made Mimi into who she was pre-Jericho (because you just know there's a story there...).
Whereas Emily seemed to have no self-awareness.
Absolutely none. I really need to rewatch the series, but it seemed like she had no idea that maybe the men in her life really couldn't do everything she wanted (Roger was supposed to give up a high-powered banking career to live in Jericho? And never regret that or change his mind? Really?)
Blame Scribbler for hooking me with awesome fic into shipping J/H before I knew any better. ;-)
I will! :D
(And I did even manage to make her feel sorry for Beck the other day, because she was going to make him end up in a Heck-less 'verse....)
