I guess these plot elements serve to make GlaDOS a more sympathetic character (she really does love you!), but it negates all the dramatic tension.

Whaaat? Glados is a full-blown psychopathic AI, who enjoys torturing Chell. Are you are being ironic?

This reminds me of their other writing in Psychonauts "I am a grieving widow"! which was soo in bad taste as to be funny.

No, I really think that's why that scene was in there. Also when she says 'despite your violent behaviour all you have managed to break is my heart', I thought that was quite moving. I think it is meant to be moving.

she enjoys torturing chell, but she loves chell just the same. there's a slightly more complex relationship here than some of you seem to be acknowledging.

In as much as she is the only fully sentient company? I personally reckon that it is just more twisting the knife and lies, the same as the rest of the game.

It's that exactly. It's still an abusive relationship, if it is one, either way.

I find it amusing the way you get a tick when you complete one of the extra sections which just reinforces the hamster / extended training exercise-ness of the it.
