Why does Anya fall in love with BJ?

[gleem]

I thought their romance was terrible. Why would she fall in love with him when he's a vegetable? Is it that she felt sorry for him and then fell in love with him after he rescued her? Because thats not how i interpreted it.

Maybe she was just lonely and wanted the D?

Getting attached to something over time isn't uncommon, like someone spends a good chunk of the day to care of his 'trophy' car in the garage. BJ saving Anya in the hospital properly sealed the deal.

Wanting the D is a reasonable assumption too, if dating a co-worker isn't really a thing for Anya.

Because BJ is a nazi kiling machine. What girl doesn't love one of those?

[Nod]

because the both needed a good screw XD

The Florence Nightingale effect. It's more common in fiction, but not unheard of in reality. It's also basically the driving force behind the first Back to the Future.

He's a nazi killing machine and so is she.
She's been looking for someone like him for years. Just listen to the audio logs she gives you.

That is her relative, not herself. I think it is her cousin.

It's a little ambiguous, but it's VERY heavily implied that those diary entries are actually hers.

She didn't fall in love nor even feel sorry for him while he was a vegetable. She was a nurse that cared for her patients.

It is not uncommon for those who share highly traumatic events to grow emotional bonds. B.J. avenged her parents, rescued her from the Nazis, helped her grandparents, and fought side by side with her while looking for the resistance -- don't underestimate her role, she was his intelligence source, she obviously arranged things, she acted as a diversion to get B.J. into the prison. Presumably by then they had shared many tense and even dangerous encounters with the Nazis. And Blazkowicz seems to have fallen in love with her first -- probably largely because of the many years of care while he was stuck in a near vegetative state -- and it is highly possible that Anya was won over because of his obvious affection for her : all in all you seem to have things backwards.

Don't forget. She could just be a spicy gal.
