Talk:Teela Brown

Hello... I've read the Ringworld Engineers, which is the last book in the series and (erm, spoilers ahead?) the statement in this article that mentions that Teela's luck is shrugged off as nothing real is basically false, as Teela brown makes an appearance near the end of this novel, as a Pak Protector, and her luck is a huge pain in Louis's side as her Pak insticts prevent her from doing what she wants to do. I haven't read enough of the rest of the series to comment on this, though - I'm just wondering if someone else who is a more hardcore fan could edit this and give Teela Brown the credit she should deserve ^^;


 * In addition, the dismissiveness and criticism of Teela Brown as the worst and most implausible element is severely out of place for a Wikipedia entry. --maru (talk) contribs 16:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I haven't read the third or fourth books, so I can't comment on Niven's current views on Teela Brown. But I do think the last paragraph is poorly written, highly opinionated, and in dire need of sources. So, if there are no objections, I'll remove it. --Heisencat
 * Agreed. I have read 1+2+4 of the Ringworld series, and I didn't get the impression of Teela being pulled down all that much. A more balanced view with "some people think" phrasings would be much better. --217.189.200.57 00:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd recommend inclusion of the fact that (in Ringworld's Children) Louis accidentally bumping into his and Teela's son, among the Ringworld's population of trillions, is either clear evidence of genetic luck being real, or a mind-bogglingly huge coincidence.

Recommend inclusion of Teela's son's name, and further discussion of her relationship with Seeker, thus returning the focus of the article to Teela Brown, and not Teela Brown's Luck.
