Ahahahaha!
Actually, I forgot to mention it, but the Super Metroid comic in Nintendo Power did a much better job of portraying Samus. She was shown to be strong without being turned into the scowling meat heads they stick in FPSs these days, and the one "male interest" was hilariously rebuffed at every chance, at best a friend and ally but never taken seriously as cliche romantic relationship fodder. She actually had real human emotions throughout the thing. Compare and contrast this with her portrayal in Other M. Frankly, I'm pretty sure this comic is where I got my ideas for Samus' personality, but I'd just forgotten the source.
When Nintendo comes back to Metroid, they should go to the comic for guidance. I still would love to see Other M's Samus (and her behavior) explained away as a clone though. Not in a hateful way, they can redeem her whole story arc as I said years ago with the right angle.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
