Oh, I think Jubal's hella creepy. In fact, just the sentence "does that seem right to you?" has overtones for me now. But it's not like that's a bad thing.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I think Jubal's gift is the fact that despite his obvious mental issues, he also knows the impact of words, and he uses them to great effect.
He very carefully uses words he believes will control, and to great effect. I don't see him as having any intention nor inclination to rape, but knows the impact of the suggestion.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Creepy implies to me something unnatural or otherworldly, though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes it took me a while to figure out we were talking about Jubal Early because creepy doesn't seem like the right word to me. Sinister, maybe.

I thought her little delves into peoples minds was creepy. Then her becoming the ship (tho we know otherwise now), but first time I saw it, I was a bit creeped.

I thought it was awesome when she became the ship! I immediately thought of all the female ships with personalities I had loved. I was so fooled.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I immediately went to a Anne McCaffrey place. It bugged.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I went to a Holly from Red Dwarf place!

I got Robert Heinlein's Gay Deceiver. And then for some reason a flash of C.O.R.A. from BSG TOS.

O ya, it was totally awesome... but creepy in that "where did she go and how the hell did she do that" kind of way. Totally fell for it too. By the time I saw the shows (dvd) I thought of Halo 2 computer gal. Dunno why.
