Part 1, Chapter 4:
Did I actually get a pair of fighters this year?
Man, Katniss is SO much like me when I play online Survivor games. I get SO paranoid and start trying to read every single person's emotions and why they would make a move that they're making. Her putting stock into Peeta washing Haymitch up after he puked and landed in his own puke as some sort of trick...that's a little bit crazy, and this girl is HARDCORE in game mode. She really needs to start putting on a shtick thought to entertain the hosts. I've personally tried the valley girl and the ignorant redneck...both of them were very difficult to maintain, so I gave up on them pretty quickly. I also pretended to be Charlie from LOST once, but that DEFINITELY didn't work out for me. But I disgress. The point is, Katniss is crazy-paranoid, and it amuses me, because I've seen this all before in myself, and she's totally self-sabotaging by playing the game this way.
Annnnd more flashbacks. I wonder if they're gonna reveal what Katniss' tattoo means, because that's clearly the nagging question in all the fans' minds. But it shows Katniss evolving from a weak little b**** into a badass huntress that would put the Goddess Diana herself to shame (or was it Minerva...I always get those two confused). But beyond that, and explaining her hatred for her mother, things get quiet until...Haymitch.
Haymitch is pretty awesome, and I love the fact that they cast Woody Harrellson as him in the movie, because that totally makes sense to me. But yeah, Katniss/Peeta double-teaming him and Haymitch punching Peeta the f*** out (well, not OUT, but punching Peeta nonetheless) is awesome, mostly because I feel like Peeta doesn't take enough punishment overall, given how much of a lameass he can be sometimes. But yeah, Haymitch suddenly going from drunk to master strategist in the course of two paragraphs is awesome. "Let the bruise show because it makes you look more awesome."
Also, plot twist: Peeta IS as devious and calculating as Katniss thinks. GASP.
