::: I understand that as an angry spur-of-the-moment remark, it would have been nothing important, but she did seem quite composed when she said it, and anyway, isn't your "she didn't know them" argument exactly what I called "selfishness"? She could have gone to each dustpile and said, "bring him back", and then "so what's the point of you", but she didn't. I know why it works for the drama of the episode, but it's a pretty disappointing charaterisation of Amy -- I would have expected better from her...

:::: No, most people would show far more grieving over a loved one than anyone they didn't know. It's not selfishness at all. If everyone reacted to every death the same they do to someone they cared about you'd have the whole country crying everytime the news came on. And you might say she seemed composed but people react in different ways and not everyone would be screaming and shouting about it, some react quietly in almost disbelieve for example.
