well, with the directors cut you'll be able to see her more!

The expression on Trudy's face right before she dies is heartbreaking:

Yeah it's quite sad. It looks like to me that she doesnt have a clear conscience before she dies, like some regrets or issues in her life that have went unresolved.

Or am I reading too deep into this?

I think she looks more disappointed that she couldn't help more. Also the realization that she was going to die, she knew she was going down and her survival wasn't good. I'm anxious to see the directors cut and see what was left out of the character development for all of them.

Interesting how the character with blue skin, cat features and small breasts gets more love than the fully human one. Bit of furry interest on this forum?

Then again, Neytiri's character gets far more development, giving us more time to fall in love with her.

Plus, she was hotter than Neytiri. :war:

I AGREE!!!!!! plus Trudy is REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

IMO, if Trudy were an avatar, she'd be just as spirited and fiesty as Neytiri if she had the chance to develop and learn the ways of the Na'vi, just like Jake. In fact...

...Trudy's pretty much a mirror of Jake, had he not become an avatar, but still sided with the Na'vi. If Trudy got the exact same chance that Jake had, things would probably turn out the same way, I think.

I don't like humans.

Neytiri is not human.

I love Neytiri.

How about... Trudy controlling Tom Sully's avatar, falling in love with Neytiri... that would be interesting!

Couldn't happen of course as the avatars are grown to match their intended operator.

Uhh.... that would incite a life-long debate between every person who has seen Avatar... about Trudy's self-identity crisis of whether she wants to be a woman or a man.

...That'd be disturbing. :S

maybe in the extra 8 minutes we get to see her meet with the na'vi. maybe grace introduced her to them :O

Ahem... what about us fanGIRLS! ;) I absolutely LOVE Trudy's character and Michelle Rodriguez even more so. Maybe I am biased for that very reason but her character definitely added a spark to the film.

Yes, THIS. Am an utter, utter Trudy fangirl. And yes, this includes finding her hot as hell. :P

I would never have guessed there was anything going on between them by the film alone, and I'm glad they didn't keep it in. It may have added a little more interest to the film (not to mention more MRod on my screen, ooft!), but it didn't move any of the story along unlike the relationship between Jake and Neytiri. Also it would have meant more scenes would have to be made towards the end that would involve Norm finding out that her ship was blown up, etc. The film was long enough as it is which is why they made the right move to take out this aspect of the story.

But yeah, I ♥ Trudy!

See, I think the Trudy/Norm relationship added so much to their characters and the movie. It was something that had nothing to do with Jake and Neytiri, which broadened the scope of things, and it was so wonderful and non-hetronormative - she's the badass marine who found the geeky scientist attractive and hit on HIM (without any angst on his part about not being good enough/man enough/bs like that). And no, I don't think it would have meant adding more scenes at all - we can use our imagination. And depending on timing (need to double-check) Norm could have heard say 'going down' over the comms.

And I absolutely still saw bits of them in the finish movie. And I ship them so, so, so soooo much.

But. Yes. Trudy? Is awesome.

Just to answer the original question first, there is alot more Trudy and Norm on the extended version on blu-ray. I just wish we could have got a better look at her when she was foolin` around in the floating mountain lab. Also I would like to remind everyone that her career began long before LOST (the Fast And The Furious was her breakthrough role). I think any girl that can handle a gun, cars, and choppers is too cool. For a tomboy she`s as hot as it gets. If I had to choose between a Na`vi and her I don`t think I could do it, I`m too greedy...lol.
