YMMV / The Thing That Couldn't Die

Go To

  • Les Yay: Jessica and Linda, even before Gideon put his whammy on either of them.
  • Narm: Gideon rejecting everyone's blood to feed on one after the other. Presumably it was meant to be him giving an unintentional "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the characters, but it ends up just making him look like a picky eater.
  • The Scrappy: Flavia. Consider:
    • She openly uses Jessica's dowsing abilities for her own gain, even when Jessica objects (admittedly, Jessica doesn't usually object too strongly).
    • She totally believes in Jessica's dowsing abilities, but not in Jessica's ability to recognize evil when she senses it.
    • She cares about money more than just about anything else, and isn't shy about admitting it.
    • Again, she's willing to use Jessica's dowsing abilities, but when told she herself might have this talent, she objects, thinking she would just look foolish. As Linda pointed out, "You didn't mind when Jessica looked foolish."
    • Hearing noises downstairs in the night and thinking there might be danger, she shouts out the window toward the cabin her young niece is staying in, imploring the girl to come investigate. Or, as Crow T. Robot puts it, "Yeah, you stand there in the window shrieking like a dental drill while I endanger myself." (To be completely fair, Flavia does go downstairs herself after calling Jessica.)
