Personally I'm far less worried that just when horde of aberrations are running around Diane is with Susan who can defend her quite effectively than alone, unable to defend against any vampire who decides that no matter how far from awakening she is better get rid of her. That said, yes the vampires might end up pretty messy when Susan finishes with them. The food court will be perfect place if vampires scares everyone else away. On the other hand notice HOW Susan defended her dad. "He wasn't cheated before". I don't think she did though about not telling her mom before ... BUT she might be thinking now. "If he DID cheated before and there STILL were good years after that ... maybe there could be good years when I wouldn't told mom ...". That was very likely part of that whirlwind of conflicting emotions ... which she likely didn't completely resolved since then. Only because the trolls on the internet REALLY bothered her.

.... aaand Susan narrowly escaped mentioning her aversion to touching out loud, although it's possible Diane will already realize that anyway. Also, yes, that weird phantom thing could easily be real in EGS. In fact, it likely IS more real than her logic, curiosity, nature and nurture. Definitely. And it also sounds similar to OCD.

Well, obviously it was more rhetorical question (although not completely rhetorical ... but not expecting answer, just to set topic of debate) ... only Dan would know, Fox was not explored nearly enough. The explanation made sense, however the connection might easily be bidirectional - it's just that Nanase is, just as almost everyone, used to not pay attention to her own subconscious, while Fox is running directly on it. Still, connection like this wouldn't really help to transfer memories, just emotions. Exactly, which I already mentioned. Fox is labelled "decoy summon". If she would be designed just as distraction in fight, like the color clones, she doesn't need anything else. If, however, she is supposed to be used for helping Nanase hiding some of her activities (with Ellen) from her mother, it is possible she is DESIGNED with memory dump feature so Nanase can learn what is she supposed to know when Fox pretended to be her.

It may not be thing in the west but it's quite popular weapon between dwarves, of course not nearly as popular as battle axe. And obviously there is Mjölnir ... although apparently hammers were not popular as weapons between Vikings and even Mjölnir might've been more like blacksmith's hammer.

Yes that's the sort of cloning I was imagining. And to keep it in EGS ... can Nanase do that? Can she send Fox to some event and retrieve her memory of that event without resorting to manual control which would distract her from the event SHE's on?

Then they attend part of one convention, and part of the other. They can't fully attend both conventions unless they can clone themselves. And if they would clone themselves they wouldn't need the transit obviously. On the other hand, on most convention you can't really attend everything without cloning even if you don't go to other conventions, don't sleep and don't eat, so we can assume that the "part" bit is default.

It's got more spikes, but I would expect having the bulk of the hammer wood made it easier to handle. Though Susan's summoned hammers probably aren't actual weight anyway. It got both more spikes and more metal and I think it's minority design but ok at least Susan's not first one like this. Hmmm ... if it's based on the standard summoning spell it would respond to newton's laws and light hammer would be less effective BECAUSE it's lighter ... on the other hand, the hammer Susan wields is gigantic, it can weight enough even when from wood and unless it's hollow it's also going to need some magic for her to hold it and swing it with such ease. On the other hand, if it's based on the stun hammer spell ... well, the original hammers were based on anime jokes, were humorously oversized and certainly didn't worked according to newton's laws ; even women without any training were able to wield them easily. So conclusion is it's hard to say. The vampires in EGS aren't undead though. And Susan is trying to fix that detail. She didn't get to the "un" part yet, of course.

For one, war hammers would normally be whole-metal, not mostly wood. But I guess it doesn’t matter as Susan is summoning the hammer anyway. Which also answers the “cleaning” bit: the hammer obviously disappeared after every hit, she resummoned it for posing. Second, being dead is normal state for vampires, isn’t it? Agree. Seems she has lot of experience with fighting vampires now. "Just two at once? I won't even sweat." PS: Of course, if you look it for warhammer as single word, you are going to find a series of games from Games Workshop.

Isn't MAJORITY of feelings like this? Or it's just that Susan don't want to touch anything not clean, things OR people, and people touching her is worse as she can't ready for it. And they usually object to being disinfected. Xn = fractional portion of (Xn-1 + π)2 is absolutely deterministic but hard to predict. Yes. Another nice example is Langton's ant. Simple deterministic rules, hard to predict behaviour. Or fractals. But real neurons (unlike simulated ones) are NOT exactly deterministic. (Anyone who was drunk can confirm this.) And, obviously, there is much more than 5 (86±8 billion) of those in human brain.

Well, that is the default scenario with a solid block of steel. But strangely enough, that is not the case with a number of bullets. They fragment or deform as they hit and so spread the damage caused by kinetic energy instead of merely passing through and leaving a hole. And that hurts a lot more. Also, if they stay in the body - especially in multiple parts - they usually needs to be removed by surgeon. If the patient survive of course, and if they don't have Wolverine-type regeneration which just pushes the bullet outside. In most cases.

I'm not an expert on anime but I don't belive anime is only as diverse as western animation. I'm sure it's much more diverse. I was implying that her reaction on her favourite movie will be (with her standard bored expression): "Hmmm ... that wasn't so bad." That's definitely what she would claim.

Of course she can summon them. The idea was that she needs backpack so she doesn't need to UNsummon them. You mean Diane in point 2. And I would agree with points 1,5,2,5,3 and 5. They wouldn't be much use in car, but good point about the possibility the fairies are independent enough to be told to stealthy follow her. Psychiatrists are just guessing. We don't know nearly enough about how brain works. You can get hard to predict behaviour from FIVE neurons (according to professor who taught us neural nets). Most likely, the real reason behind the phobia CANT be described in human language in reasonable space, because it's deeper than language. Also, if the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be so stupid that we couldn't understand it. (Jostein Gaarder)

I suspect that Susan not dating much was obvious from the reviews - although not so much to know it was specifically "never". They did however stated multiple times she is NOT dating Elliot. Yes, there would be lot of interesting things to speak about. And I though fairy is the most important thing she didn't take. Hmmm ... she may have something in pocket.

You made me think what sort of plumbing (if any) originally had the university I was going on (although I'm pretty sure they upgraded it sometimes in last century, and maybe not for first time).

I would agree in theory. Both ought to crib notes from each other. But in practice I don't remember anything in Babylon 5 that looks like it came from Deep Space 9 (which is not to say there was nothing). Either B5 hid their influences better or they didn't steal much. DS9 may not have stolen anything else besides the Shadow War. (I am intentionally setting aside B5 fan accusations that DS9's concept came from B5 creator JMS' pitching B5 to Paramount. Not opening that can of worms) There are some format differences too. B5 was always intended as a massive 5-year story arc whereas all of the Trek Franchise shows were much more as episodic TV. Well we already found one example, so I would guess B5 was hiding better. The fact B5 looked very consistent and was always planned for 5 years except one moment when it was supposed to be shortened to four and then they changed mind again certainly helped. There's blame enough for both Berman and Braga. But Berman was the boss. The captain's always responsible. Ok, can agree with this. Wesley Crusher was Gene Roddenberry's Marty Stu. Jake Sisko was spared that at least. But I would say the only worse example of useful idiocy I've seen, was Jar-Jar Binks introducing Galactic Senate Legislation to make Palpatine an Emperor. But that was only one-time and Jar Jar wasn't only one who was played by Palpatine. Case in point, Anakin Skywalker. Meanwhile, Jake Sisko got into it himself. Seriously, son of commander of the station, how could he hoped they overlook him?

It was a comic convention, I think there was some anime though, at the very least they did have some Lucky Bunny Bounty stuff. I'm not sure about US, but around here we see no problem with having convention which includes multiple diverse topics like Star Trek, Star Wars and anime (and few others). But yes this was comic convention. I though you were referring to something else where I might overlook what kind of convention it was, although I though the pinups for example were supposed to be another year of same convention.

It is not a phobia if you KNOW a place is incredibly unsanitary already. Aaand I was saying the same when we talked about it last time. I'm glad my view was confirmed by Dan That's sound too analytical for phobia. Phobias tend to be less logical. One possibilty, and this goes towards Susan's love of Star Trek, the character Reginald Barclay was a known Hypochondriac and in the episode "Genesis" he's given a synthetic T-cell to try to boost his immune system which ends up causing him and the rest of the crew to "de-evolve". If Susan was young enough when she saw that episode, it might have left a lasting impression on her, she might even subconsiously emulate Barclay's behaviour. Or, maybe there doesn't need to be any specific explanations? Not even twins think completely same. Hell, even ELLEN is not complete copy of Elliot anymore. I would really like he would diverge, but I suspect he doesn't want to, that he's not interested in actually describing the changes all this stuff going public could do to society as a whole. Unfortunately.

Tried tumblr ask. Aaaand we got Dan answer very similarly. https://danshive.tumblr.com/post/166077838117/isnt-susans-hair-supposed-to-be-dark-blue-and

Sarah was able to do that to Susan, though that wasn't canon. That was ANIME convention? Maybe she LIKES being bored by anime ...

Isn't the consensus that they ARE related because they are both Raven's descendants? Even if not, they are likely having some common ancestor who is reason for their talent. Of course, this relationship may not be as close as sisters, but it can still be argued there is no "HAHA Fooled You" element in it. ... wasn't this even said directly in comics somewhere? In any case, yes it sounds like the reason. You can seriously read it directly from that page? If not for the sketchbook I would think it's not SUPPOSED to be readable. Tried tumblr ask.

I imagine they would need/want to call some engineers to inspect the pillar to be certain that it's still structurally sound. The pillar most likely is still good, but it would be a good precaution anyway. (The force of Tara's strike might have caused tiny fractures through the pillar that could worsen over time. ) Once they figure out whether or not the pillar is still sound, the engineers could then provide advice on the best way to repair, replace, or reinforce the pillar. Considering it was MAGICAL attack, it might be even worse than tiny fractures. On the other hand, Tara wasn't trying to demolish the building, she just hit the pillar when she missed Cheerleadra. Indeed. It looks very dramatic and there is usually enough of them around to make them tempting choices, but if you need to use a missile, consider the merits of not using something that these days has been constructed so as to specifically collapse and crumble in a way to absorb kinetic energy from impact. In fact, it's the crumbling in way to absorb kinetic energy which makes it so dramatic-looking. If you hit the villain with something which remains solid, it's not visible how much force you applied. Of course, if you hit him with solid block of steel and it STILL deforms, it's even more dramatic.

Yes ... that was option which didn't occurred to me but makes lot of sense from hindsight. Also, do you also think Liz's opinion is Ashley should stop POSTING these stories and not just stop reading comments under them? And I still like my theory what "thinking about baseball" actually means. Yes ... for this big turn, the politicians minds would need to be altered so much it's debatable if it would still be them.

Or better yet, the pillar turned into some sort of display. "Site of live Griffon attack" with people taking pictures of the claw marks. Right. Totally forgot this possibility. Despite already knowing about museum which includes the bullet holes the building got in second world war as display - meaning they didn't fix it for more than 70 years. (Wait ... seems I mixed something up ... well the idea stands.)

Cars as thrown weapons are not a good choice. If you are really strong, yes. If you are helping yourself with telekinesis, it can be something different ... of course, using something ELSE than car as a projectile would be better. Better idea: they would JUST be fixing it.

Gee, this Friday Night at the Moperville Mall would be the perfect place to hold a classic car event, wouldn't it? Look up how much a gull-wing Mercedes is worth now. Thirty-odd years ago I saw one here going for $300,000. Yes, and maybe we should also have some celebrities to visit ... like, Ben Lee, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Michael Flatley, Julia Roberts ...
