Ellana was checking Samantha out while she was working near her cell, thinking of ways to grab her and take her form. So when Kremm appears behind her, and puts on the Nerve Pinch, Ellana enjoys the moment. She may find human women and their lives fascinating but she as no qualms about knocking them out and assuming their forms, although its rare to see her use physical force. For her isn't just scientific curiosity but she enjoys her work and being many different people. Even if she completely misunderstands a lot of the time.
I do like the fact Ellana actually enjoys watching Samantha receiving the pinch and being put to sleep. You have let us know in the story that Samantha is very pretty and also that Ellana found her attractive and checked out her breasts and butt once she was naked.
Interesting too that "she may find human women and their lives fascinating but she as no qualms about knocking them out and assuming their forms". You have to wonder that while she finds human women fascinating, she nonetheless sees them as inferior to Zenobians. Therefore, in a way, they are like lab subjects to her. She certainly doesn't want them killed or seriously injure them. However, she doesn't care enough to be concerned when Kremm uses his nerve pinch on them (even though it does cause them a brief moment of pain) or tosses their bodies to the ground, or when she uses her anesthetic on them to knock them out. She also doesn't mind leaving them naked and also, as we learn she will do in the future, she doesn't mind putting them in such a deep sleep that they will remain in suspended animation for potentially days.
It's a feature of Ellana's character that she is attracted to human women, and does often take the time to admire their naked bodies. Especially in the cases of Samantha and Carmen. And she does derive pleasure from either rendering them unconscious or from watching Kremm. Whether the attraction is sexual in nature or art appreciation, is an aspect of her character that we will develop later in the series.
Indeed, Ellana like all extraterrestrials does compare humanity unfavourably with the Zenobians to begin with. When Ellana see's a suitable woman to replace, she is of course curious about them and she finds them attractive(which are generally her preferred type of victim) but ultimately they are specimens, identities that she needs to steal to complete her work. While she may be good natured and abhors violence towards the women, Ellana does operate with a sense of detachment. She must do because her work, her lives mission is more important then the general welfare of those she replaces. Ellana wishes no harm on anyone, but will do what's necessary. It comes with the territory of being a scientist, she has to remain objective and professional. Although, when she meets Nikki and their relationship develops Ellana might her opinions might change. (Not too drastically, mind you)
