I am curious - which version of the show did you try? Because there are two! I am told the original is a lot less decent to its ladies, is why I ask, and also a bit different in tone. But if it is Brotherhood that has been driving you up the wall, maybe you might want to try the manga and see if that works for you better? Or, uh, just dive into one of the late episodes that has Armstrong in it and see if it is working for you then. >.> I think she first appears in "The Great Wall of Briggs."

(And if not, I mean, that is okay! Sometimes stories just do not work for people. It is sad but true. :( )
