    So like I said, she's a generic psycho killer with no depth at all.

    As I stated earlier, I'm not a nit picker, if she's a mindless killer then fine. But why save Dwiyer just to kill him in the same episode? At least be consistent. The writers can't keep falling back on "Oh erm she's crazy..." to explain her nonsensical behavior.

    Well, I'm no expert on mental instabilities, but I don't think she's a 'generic' psycho.

    She's a young girl whose mind has been twisted all about, first by her Uncle and then more by the dark matter. She's on steroids in her desire to kill the metas, up to and past the ability to kill anyone on her path, especially if she thinks they've betrayed her and that finally included her uncle.

    I'll say Dwyer turned around way too easily considering all that he had said and done before, but his turning and trying to talk her out of it was a betrayal to what she had always been told. She's internalized it all, so I wasn't surprised that she killed him.

    She wanted to tell them and even Sherlocque said so. Harry told the truth afterwards and only did because it resulted in Iris nearly getting killed. Nora, in her mind, did it to prevent her dad's disappearance. She also worked with an Eobard who claimed changing and was locked up. Harry worked with a not locked up and openly willing to do wrong Zoom. I'd say Nora's actions are lighter than Harry's.

    Glad Nora's secret's finally out felt like they dragged it out 2 or 3 episodes too long.
