So... has your opinion changed about Metroid: Other M?

There ya go.  The reason why Samus took one hit from the ice beam.  Lots of things that are "new traits" for Samus that people don't like (she even fights for the attention of guys) are actually established traits from years and years ago.  But for people who've only played the games (or only played a few games), they feel betrayed by the character that's been Samus for over a decade.  It's like somebody who watched the old Batman tv show from the 60's being pissed when they find out that Batman is actually an vengeful psychopath.  I can understand where they're coming from but they didn't have the whole story.

I just got to that part on Hard Mode, and there is a problem with your theory.  There is a metroid you see just outside Sector Zero just before Adam shoots you.  Samus has her guard up, and is about to attack the metroid when she gets shot.  She definitely senses danger, just not Adam.  I would think her suit would protect her from all angles, not just from what she sees.
