Yeah, that one is questionable all around. "Hmmmm, you tried to help my dead Master kill Luke and Mara. You also wanted to kill me and you know my secret about Allema. I don't think you'll tell anyone now since I will kill you if you do. You may go."

Huh? I would think that killing her right there would almost be justifiable....at the very least having her locked up would. I'm not real sure what the deal with that was.

This one was actually easy to understand: Jacen's position was that Alema MUST HAVE HAD a failsafe by which if she died or did not return, Jacen's paternity of Allana would hit the HoloNet.

QED

To him, the only logical course of action was to let her go with the gift of a spacecraft.

I'm extremely happy to see that line is going down well, and seems to have become a favourite among fans of the book. I laughed out loud when I read it. It's the perfect line and the scene was great.

I do hope we're in for the passing of this character soon though, as she can get annoying, but as it stands she was almost a cool twisted image of Lumiya, and I think that's partly what really got to Lumiya more than anything.

Probably there is a good answer to this, but would the news have come out even if Jacen would have led Alema live, but would have just done what he does to his cousin regularly: alter her memories, swipe the knowledge of the paternity and everything involved - even her knowledge of her own failsafes - with it from her mind? Considering that Alema can now blackmail him with the knowledge, he could have at least tried his usual trick on her...

If you do, Kyle Katarn will hit you. In the groin. With the Bryar Pistol. He doesn't like bugslut-lovers.

A couple good lines came out of Alema's inclusion in Tempest, but I really had my fill of her foaming at the mouth and being vindictive about halfway through Star by Star. Her incessant blathering about the Balance™ did about as much for me as it did for Lumiya.

That's okay -- that's what Jacen believes he's serving as well...

I actually considered that perhaps the bugslut WANTED Jacen to kill them. If you think about it, she was clacking with delight over the fact that Jacen was falling to the Dark Side. Alema probably believes Lumiya to be dead, whether that is the case or not. Now, without a good Sith Master Jacen's tumble to the Dark Side could be jeopardized. What would really help it along would be a good cold blooded murder. If Alema's last moment was seeing good old Jacen cutting her down out of anger they would feel that they were seving the balance.

Why do you say that? I never got the impression that Jacen was following some 'Balance'... Which by the way, reminds me a lot of the thing Gaeriel Captison belived in back in TaB, only twisted so that its an excuse for Alema to kill people without thinking about it.

Instead of Gariel's paents voluntarily forcing one of their kids into a life of poverty. Yeah, pretty twisted.

Actually, she chose that life. Some people prefer the monastic life.

I hate Alema mostly because she doesn't seem to realize she's not in Jacen or Lumiya's weight class.

Because her parents told her to, because the Cosmic Balance philosophy says that for every good thing or event they have to inflict some kind of harm on themselves (or their kids). Pretty twisted, I say, and not too much different from Alema.
