Aww, it's great to see Pandora getting along so well with Sarah!

Two sides of the coin ... just my 2¢.

Hypotheses:
They could be clones using separate host mothers (or one natural mother and one host).
Diane could be a clone of Susan using an Uryuom egg. Diane was then adopted out.
There is something similar to the TF gun floating around, but it was used to make one baby permanently identical to the other.
Diane is the Susan equivalent from a parallel universe and somehow got sent to Susan's universe as an infant.

JML, message from my wife. And me.

So far, the entire arc has been a partial redemption of Pandora. I'd say she has anti-villain status by now. Actually, outside that stuff with Magus and the end of Sister II, we haven't seen her do anything too "evil". Except for some of her more violent outbursts, she doesn't even seem as crazy as you'd expect her to be: this conversation has been downright reasonable at times.

Oh yeah!
My bet is on Catalina's mark coming up some way or another in this arc, too. I mean, the title can certainly have multiple meanings, and the commentary is a little teasing already...
 
What does the title for part 1, Legacy, stand for? Noriko?

Interesting ending for a Q&A. Then again, there's a precedent for the final question being a joke one, last time it was about Amanda's date with Raven.
Anyway, Sister III's coming! Or if it's something else, a lot of people will be surprised. I wonder whether the cover at least will be in colour? The previous two were.

Thanks for making this thread, it will make recapping a lot easier.

We have Rhoda who's confirmed marked with a size adjusting spell, that boar must have grown larger than what Tedd's TFG could have done. I really want to say that the pinup of Rhoda shrinking Catalina out of her clothes, while likely not canon in the actual story sense, is still an accurate demonstration of Rhoda's spell.

I accept the challenge!
 

It's kind of an old joke on Dan's part. At some point he decided to declare War on Vowels and tried to see how many sound effects he could create that didn't have vowels in them.

Susan was probably involved.

Congratulations Elliot. You're now a magi-cyborg. Get a better smartphone, fool! You now can watch Youtube videos and read internet forum threads directly via your body while superheroing.
 
On second thought, let's not read internet forum threads, they are a silly place.

I like Sarah.  She reminds me of my fiancée.  What can I say - the unassuming girl next door with a mischievous streak and a sense of adventure has always appealed to me.  

I have no excuses.

 
EDIT: And here are my old slays:

So the magic sink is clogged. I quite like the coin metaphor!

Oh dear, an argument over semantics.

I am afraid that if EGS comes to an end, the producers will try to put Susan in her own spin off sit com.
It would ruin the essential Susan for her to be surrounded by sit com cliché characters.  It will also hold her back from pursuing roles that are unlike the EGS Susan.   And there is no way the new Susan series could run as long as EGS.

Been sitting on these for ages - I hope that they;re still funny after so long.

Made me think this: 

Susan's had at least 3 arcs where she's had some character growth, "Hammerclorians" "Identity" and "Playing with Dolls". I guess "Playing with Dolls" is probably the least significant of the 3 but I consider her expressing her frustration about how she looks and the comments from people on the review show as growth. "Identity" was split between her and Elliot but her discovering that she's got a thing for watching others and the later coming to terms with not being ready for a physical relationship is a big deal. And of course, "Hammerclorians" was all Susan telling Sarah and Grace things she had kept buried for a while that probably affected her almost as, if not as much as finding her dad with another woman. I guess the segment of Grace's birthday where Susan and Justin nearly hook up was significant as well since it was an eye opener for her and helped reshape her views on males.
All in all, I think Susan's probably evolved the most over the course of the comic considering she started off as a man-hating feminist who thought Elliot was an A-hole to having a conflict of feeling over the possibility of dating him. Add that she's a Trekkie and yeah, she's my fave.
As for backstories, it's hard to say who's is most significant, I mean yeah the Susan and Diane connection is something we all want to know more about, but Tedd and Nanase's family history ranks pretty high as well with why Noriko left, Adrian's involvement, what's special about Tedd and the whole Lord Tedd deal. Also the fact that Nanase's mom knows more than she's letting on.
Grace would be next with her though he backstory is now known to everyone who was was involved. Though there's still the very high possibility of her being a key player in the Lord Tedd and General Shade Tail storyline if Dan gets around to it.
After that it kinda drops off some, Ellen's backstory is known as well to everyone in the main 8 as well as her parents and Edward and Greg. What isn't known is directly tied to Elliot in terms of Magus and Pandora's involvment in Ellen's creation and why the immortals Helena and Demetrius have been following Elliot for it seems some time before their improper deaths.
Then there's Justin who's backstory involved him and Melissa which has pretty much been concluded unless Dan decides to bring them together as good friends through Noah or something. His involvement with Luke could prove interesting though.
Sarah has the least interesting background really, grew up with Elliot, unfortunately kept in the dark about Elliot's after school activities until shortly after the comic started. No mysterious past. What she has going for her is basically what's developed fairly recently, IE her breakup with Elliot and delving into magic with Tedd, and the most significant bit being her getting marked by Pandora.
I think it's safe to say that they're all involved in the overarching plot of Pandora though.

This seems like the kind of thread that the forum should have, I don’t know if the old one did.
The 8 "main" characters of EGS present a quite remarkable variety of character traits, although some of them are admittedly more fleshed out than others. Sarah, for example, seems until quite recently to have served as either the Only Sane Woman, a plot device, or the cuteness factor when Grace isn't available or enough. Justin hasn't precisely had his big moment yet, either, IMO.
Still, none of them really seem to blend together, so it's probably quite easy to identify a favourite.
For me, it's very hard to beat Susan. I like pretty much everything about her, from her backstory and as-of-yet mysterious connection to Diane, to her cynical sense of humour with the sweet Nature underneath. She's arguably got the deepest personal issues of any main character, with the possible exception of Tedd, and it's extremely satisfying to see her overcome them. In fact, I can't recall any comic in which she actively participates as being boring. It's a shame it's been a few years since the main storyline concentrated on her.
 
Very interested in hearing others' opinions!  The more thorough your elaboration, the better.
