Again, I really don't think Noah falling in love qualifies as derailment - and Emma herself is certainly not to blame. I really like her for several reasons: At first, it was the very interesting dynamic between her and Kitty, which was a very enjoyable sisterly relationship that was much more three-dimensional and realistic than, say, Amy/Samey. For second, she's a very clever and manipulative individual who tows a fine line between protagonist and anti-hero (see: Her manipulation of the Twins into effectively eliminating themselves). And third: Yes, I am admittedly a sucker for Noah/Emma. But while I do like Emma, I'll admit that the REAL strength of that pair is Kitty, who's an even MORE fleshed-out and three-dimensional character whom, as an individual, I personally enjoy watching more.
