Yeah, I only see the friendship. But were they to go beyond that, they would be a cute couple, I could see. I merely very much doubt it'd ever happen. ... this way we won't win the price for most-shipping fandom ... (For record, I agree with Matoyak here ... but that page was so obvious ship-tease it can't be ignored. Even if Dan actually didn't do it deliberately.)

Battlefield Earth? Actually, SW Ep1 didn't even make it on List of worst movies ever made ... which shows how bad a movie must be to get to such list. Also ... one of the most cited problem is Jar Jar. But are you sure he is that universally hated? I mean, the audience around 5 years of age might like him! (In fact, he might be in the movie to distract all five year old advisers from spotting the plot holes.)

You still thinks small (or, actually, big - but there are more problems the smaller scale you think about). What about this: what exactly will happen to the electrical signal transferring information about say moving left rear leg while the nerve it moves on changes diameter and length? Will the number of sodium and potassium ions transmitting the charge change? Note that the boar attacking Rhoda didn't trip: it continued to move as if nothing happened, until it actually SAW that the world got (relatively) smaller.

Well it definitely matches the idea that the courier had brain damage resulting in personality shift as a result of the injury (as someone mentioned on twitter if I remember correctly).

I disagree. It's true that 3,9 and 10 weren't as good as 2,4,6, but they were nowhere as bad as 5, 11 or 12, while there are issues with 8 making it worse than 2,4,6 (Susan pointed out the problem herself) but still better than 1 or 10. Also, when comparing with Star Wars, they were also nowhere near as bad as episode 1.

Switch to source mode. THAT is black-on-white. Square-cube law doesn't really differentiate between short-term and long-term, because it's about the animal EVOLVING into such size. If you actually change the size of animal, there are WORSE problems in how you do that. Luckily, magic can take care of that too.

I think she is looking at Ashley if she has same reaction to the conversation as she has. You would be surprised how good in grammar can average roman citizen get if bad grammar brings the risk he will be labelled barbarian. Romans were proud people. Do you also thinks Charlottle might not apologize if not for the "get a life"? ... 1) As if they could say anything which could stop such ship. 2) It already launched.

They should tell Edward. He is much likely to correctly determine how to relay the information even IF there is a mole in the organization. But ... perhaps the combination of vampires keeping low profile and immortals quickly finding them meant that there wasn't need to suppress anything.

It's true that Tedd knew both Nanase and Susan (or at least ABOUT Susan) but he didn't really talked with either. Similarly, Nanase knew Susan, but seems they didn't regularly talked. So, in my opinion, Nanase first get to know Sarah as Elliot's girlfriend before she found that she has been friend with Susan for some time - similarly how Elliot knew Nanase but didn't know she and Tedd knows each other. We have CONFIRMED that Sarah didn't knew Nanase as Susan's friend - hence "Did everyone meet this girl before I did"? (Also, Elliot knew Carol yet didn't recognized her, though that's little different case.)

If they would be like animals, they wouldn't be doing anything else than hunting for prey. Well, I mean, animals also reproduce, but it doesn't seem vampires do. If vampires do anything else except hunting, it will be between people OR using people stuff. Maybe they are chatting over Internet like Not-tengu, but then they need to pay for connection and electricity (don't need to look human for either).

It isn't only thing which is completely legal and normal but classified as illegal performance enhancement in professional sport. Seems that the pressure to cheat is just too big. I mean, you can't say it's just panic if they really catches someone cheating from time to time even on higher levels. Well ... it's this or directly breaking law. Or do you have any other idea how to use invisibility without breaking law? (Not necessary for crime.) Actually, the best legal usage of invisibility is if you have BOTH superpowers, so you can use invisibility to fly without attracting attention. (Both flying and invisibility are the kind of powers which gets lot less attractive when you actually think about how could you use them in everyday life.)

How, exactly? Star Wars have six movies. Star Trek also have some movies, but we can omit them from computation just to make it simpler. (Sure, there are Clone wars, but even with them Star Wars is shorter - AND we have no indication that Grace watched them either.) There is a slight possibility Elliot did NOT literally watched every episode twice.

We, yes. But despite Nanase knowing Susan before Sarah, she likely knew Elliot even sooner AND she might not be aware who are Susan's friends before the main eight formed. Remember that Susan and Sarah visits the other school.

To be fair, Star Trek is bigger than Star Wars. Grace might not watched all off it and still spent more time on it than on Star Wars.

I don't think there will be any troubles in direct organized attack. I'm pretty sure that Tara has area-effect spells, Nanase's guardian form will be much more effective against organized attack because she can finish multiple vampires before she consumes all available energy and Grace is more likely to be able to actually fight if the danger is more obvious. So, only 20 vampires against main 8 + 2 griffins doesn't seem that dangerous. What would be dangerous is the divide et impera scenario: if everyone would be attacked by two vampires at same time but different place. But that would only happen if main eight as a group are actually primary target, which currently doesn't seem likely.

In most human societies, the rules are NOT followed to the letter either, especially in the "Nemo iudex sine actor" cases (there is no judge without the prosecutor - or how you translate it). Beware: they may not be ABLE to directly act against her until she breaks the law - it would mean THEY break the law, which could give Pandora advantage. (I mean, it would be different law than the "empower and guide" one, but it seems extremely likely there IS law against direct attack.)

I find hard to believe Mamase would approve what Helena and Demetrius did in France, especially considering she certainly had better options. Although, it IS possible that she contacted them without knowing what they do (it is also possible, although unlikely, that SHE is the reason they died improperly). The fact Tedd and Grace lives in same bed house is potentially dangerous information and Nanase is unlikely to tell it deliberately. She might let it slip, of course ... Not sure why would Sarah be described as Susan's friend. But it's funny that Sarah might be described in ways which makes hard to connect it's the same person. Wait. "Tedd's new lab assistant" is another thing which is unlikely to be shared outside the circle, given that almost everything regarding Tedd's lab is not only secret, but actual national security's top secret.

As much as it probably pains him, he might have offered a bounty out of the billions he's embezzled. Of course if the idea is to use them as cannon fodder, then he's probably not worried about following through with any payments. And of course this depends on whether vampires still have a need to blend in with the general population and thus need money. ... hmmm, that could work.

Yes. Jerry doesn't consider the immortal rules to be sufficient to judge behaviour. He don't think that just because Helena and Demetrius didn't broke the rules they behaved correctly.

It's not like if first person shooter NEEDS plot. Exactly. Obviously, bullet woulds are not that big deal as in real world. ... maybe mutation caused by radiation? You mean the personality shift from NPC to PC? Makes sense. If person starts suddenly behave like most PCs, he would be declared mentally ill. Agree, but only because he uses them sparely. I imagine it would grow old quickly otherwise. I suspect Dan also get tired of writing and drawing such stories. I mean, I wouldn't be so sure he shortened the tournament just for readers. Videogames may last longer, especially if he does several different ones, but creating a separate comic for them might be overkill.

Except they may sort of lack any proof. I definitely hope they tell Edward, but convincing Arthur Arthur might be too hard ... I think he lied when he said he's ancient. That, or it's really just different name for same being with the rules they need to follow being different on the two sides of universe. That said, Pandora used Sirleck, Colonel Sanders might be using vampires. It's not like they survival needs to be part of plan. Meanwhile, I'm not sure where would Sirleck get the sort of influence needed for this plan. Interesting. Perhaps she is enjoying the thought of being able to solve the issue by striking at a single weak point (the "puppet master" who is manipulating the Vampires) instead of having to play whack-a-mole with potentially dozens of monsters over a span of weeks. Who wouldn't? The world is not as black & white as fairy tales for children claims. You rarely find the kind of hero who is always nice and never harms anyone outside cemetery. She's likely disappointed there is noone she could disembowel for holding Andrea captive, and look, someone volunteered to take the role of replacement. Anyone sending vampires into city is certainly evil and therefore valid target.

But they didn't violated the rules. Even The Illuminated one and Pandora only BEND the rules, not violated them. My understanding is that there is magical mean which alert others to breaking of the rule, but which won't actually enforce it, or at least cannot be relied upon regarding the enforcement itself. So, the hypothetical Court/Council may not be needed to find or arrest the violators, they may not even need to prove the guilt, all they need to do is pass sentence and execute it.

I don't think so. Who would they be forced to answer to? "Believe" may be too definite word, but "suspect" may be entering picture ... and "reminded" definitely.

No, they don't need two rounds. One is sufficient for competitive purposes. However, for other purposes there are advantages to having multiple rounds. I'm not sure how can Nanase and Ellen undo each other bra at same time. I imagine it would be harder (and slower) than taking turns. Mostly based on personal experience, although not being teacher my opinion may not be that much qualified. I hope I'm still allowed to have one. ... I see I shouldn't continue this conversation.

I'd say Ellen's help was with Tedd's social life rather than Tedd's love life. The whole double date thing was Grace's idea and considering Grace has a tendency of getting her friends together so they open up more, I would believe that she felt Ellen and Nanase should to spend some time hanging out with Tedd as well as getting Tedd to spend more time with her. ... "How quickly can I undo my girlfriend's bra" seems more like love life than social life, unless he plans to race with someone ... like with Ellen ... hmmm ... and maybe Elliot (with Ashley) ... actually, all six can compete, as all six can be girlfriend, only they need two rounds ... what I was talking about?
