User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Scarlett - a Good or a Bad character?/@comment-25027229-20141112231418

Up until episode ten, Scarlett was amazing. Her humor was great, her interactions were entertaining for how limited they were, and I actually felt sympathy for her when Max annoyed her. 'Scarlett Fever' ruined that character entirely. I prefer her as a cold, calculating strategist, not a screaming, gimmicky weirdo who utterly failed as an antagonist and got herself eliminated at the hands of a malfunctioning Chris-bot. Say what you want about her needing glasses, but it didn't sound like Chris nor did it ever mention anything along the lines of surrender. Scarlett's reveal was just rushed and painful to watch, but even though I still like her character from the first nine episodes, she was wrecked past the point of no return. It wasn't Dakotazoid level character wrecking, but was pretty bad. Do I think she's a better villain than Mal? No, not at all. I agree that Mal wasn't great and was full of wasted potential, but at least he played smart and kept his cool, unlike Scarlett who revealed herself too early and blew her chance to get the money.
