I found this article a week or so ago and I felt some of it definitely had the Cranky Fanatic spirit in it. Here’s an excerpt:
Shouldn’t Danielle have seen the ambush coming? Rousseau didn’t land on the island yesterday; she’s fully aware of the Others’ potential for evildoing. I find it hard to believe that a woman who (supposedly) survived on the island for sixteen years would walk into an ambush without being suspicious. Even Karl questioned Ben’s motives for sending them into the jungle, for crying out loud! I understand that Danielle thought leaving the Barracks was the best way to protect Alex, but why was she so quick to trust Ben, the man who abducted her daughter? Rousseau may be crazy, but she’s not stupid. Remember how paranoid she was when Sayid first encountered her? She had traps set up all around her camp and didn’t trust anyone. How did this gun-wielding survivor turn into a sitting duck three seasons later?
