Quote:Well. Sylia's entire attitude doesn't surprise me at all. The fact she actually finally responded to Lisa's impassioned pleas, however, pleases me. She's not the COMPLETE ice queen, even if she is the quintessenial one.
"No."
I like the Zodiac Squad. I expected them to pop up after rereading 14 and saw that some of them escaped. Their individual personalities came through fairly well, especially in their way of dealing with the 'disguised' Knight Sabres.
Quincy: Hmm. Bob, do you have an urge to start your own company? Please don't - it would upset Peggy if we had to bankrupt you for the world's own good.... Other than that, geez - he could be almost any gamer geek gone mad. (And yeah, I think something went broken in his head - most 'normal' gamers PREFER to play the hero, at least in their own heads... and as noted earlier, most people already think they're the hero. And he chose the Villian just to make sure that a Hero Comes Along...)
Jennifer's switching between modes: yeah, I can see why that would be jarring, and also see why she'd do it - now that she doesn't have to worry about the possible unpleasant ramifications, why not remain in child-mode?
You know, it occurs to me that Genom STILL has Doug's DNA samples, and it's not mentioned that Madigan had them destroyed...
Madigan's 'resignation': she had to make a choice, and from the character development it was pretty obvious what she would make to the readers, especially when she realized just what a lunatic (as opposed to a Loon) that Quincy was.
(Dear Megatokyo: Sorry about the weird weather lately, it should calm down now. Regards, Col. Sangnoir.)
(Dear Mr. Quincy: this is why you don't wire your life support system to the same system as your system to remote-control your Boomer avatar. Regards, Col. Sangoir.)
Is it me, or did the imagery for the 'true' Quincy seem to come from BGC2040? The description reminded me of it considerably. And I'm certain a lot of people are wondering just what the hell happened.... But now we know more about what the Over Mind System was - Quincy's ability to create avatars.
What song is being quoted when Doug shot-puts UberBoomer Quincy's noggin?
And the rest... is batting clean-up.
Doug cooks well enough for the chairperson of Genom to be impressed, and then reinforces her ability to think that things can change if she wants them to change. (and the ring... makes sense, really.)
Quote:Brilliant!
There's a reason there's no god of stand-up comedy!"
The departure... Sylia accepted his apologies, and yeah, after all that happened, the last thing he needed to do was taunt anyone at all.
Lisa, as we suspected, popping up with a magegift activated; Madigan getting Quincy's files and then circular-filing tem, then coming up with a way that she and the Sabres can find something in common to work with; ; Priss's relationships with Jennifer and Leon and that the Angry Sabre is finally happy...; the Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang reference (which I snickered at considerably once I parsed it all - the fact that the car wasn't describe well at the beginning had me confused until the sails opened)
Hiroe gets to emigrate! Cool. This may end up being interesting in later steps, depending. (maybe the reason they were willing to take the chance was that these were the Senshi that had encounted Doug ten centuries before... the Sailor Moon step on the Walk.)
The reason for the 'Kilroy Was Here' images, and what they meant - and the fact it was possible, and said so, in Doug's tests! - and what it means for the Boomer population, perhaps, worldwide... I'm not completely sure I like Kilroy's attitude, seems too much for the 'chaos for chaos's sake' rationalization, but he may be thinking of it being test for more.
What will Sylia do with her gift? Hopefully, once Nene and Lisa come running to her, hand Lisa the package of books.
and Toshi and Yui. Well, they did have the most concerted burst of magepower put into them, along with the divine power, so we should have expected... Megatokyo in 2050 should be a much different place. (Hey, there's an idea for a Shadowrun game now... or BESM D20...)
Final grade: A+. Ties it up, the loose ends are supposed to be loose... because the Last Unicorn said it best:
"There are no happy endings... because nothing ever ends."Brazil has decided you're cute.
