The one thing that bugged me 
was how amazed
Lina (and no one else) seemed to be all the time and how 
Ranma seemed to
outshine
Lina througout the chapter.

And I do admit that Lina-being-amazed-and-no-one-else has 
happened before.
(like when
she first met Philionel...) 

Repetitive confounding of Lina, as in the first Phil episode,
is very funny (particularly if you visualize Megumi Hayashibara's
voice screaming "but you don't look anything like each other!".)
This chapter of "Redheads" wouldn't have been nearly as good as
it was without Lina pounding her head against the wall trying
to figure Ranma out.

I found Lina being amazed to be quite in caracter.  I was remined of
the OAV episode Jeffries Knighthood.  There Lina was also confused 
by the abilities of Jeffries Mother with her mallet.  Hmm.. I wounder 
what she would think if Rnama pulled out the Ran Mallet.
