    I don't mean the squirrel form, but possibly being at Tedd and Grace walks in nude.

    Grace doesn't casually go around in the nude now, which is a shame for whoever delivers the pizza. Of course, given the type of experiments Tedd does, nudity happens sometimes, but that's probably not going to happen at the party--and maybe Tedd and Grace will rig those curtains again.

    Brooklyn Nine Nine's first season started in September of 2013 so Elliot would have watched over half the first season at this point. I think last year, or maybe earlier this year, there was talk about the show being cancelled but apparently the outcry from fans saved it, I'm not sure if Dan will keep the story going long enough to reference that though.

    Gosh, Elliot will be so shocked when he finds out Rosa is dating a woman by the fifth s

    Anyway, I fear that what's being foreshadowed here is that Ashley is, as I've long suspected, the Transitional Girl. Transitional to what is another question, since Dan seems to be toying with making Susan gay-all-the-way--hey, is Susan the Rosa of EGS?

    Grace has been voicing doubts about Ashley since the beginning of Squirrel Prophet, and now Tedd's coming up with doubts. And speaking of shipping, does anyone see Ashley and Grace?

    That might be before Elliot's parents' time.

    Not before mine, though. I only had to look up one of the lines. "Idlewild" was where Krushchev did land at least once. It became "Kennedy" in 1964.

    The late Fred Gwynne was one of the stars of that show.

    However, I have binge watched four seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

    Elliot should have been watching Car 54 Where Are You

    There's a holdup in the Bronx,
    Brooklyn's broken out with fights,
    There's a traffic jam in Harlem
    That's backed up to Jackson Heights,
    There's a scout troop short a child,
    Krushchev's due at Idlewild
    Car 54, where are you?

    Well, I guess Sam must not have told Sarah he's not sure about dating...

    What Sam thinks he should do about Sarah when he isn't with Sarah may be quite different with what he actually does when he's with Sarah. There's a word for this: normal. I think it's more likely Sam would tell Sarah he has magic or that he was born female than "just friend" her yet.

    Yes, but anybody who is familiar with Rich knows that getting him angry just makes him more tiresome to deal with, so they are letting him speak rather than telling him to shut up.

    I think Rich comes across as a guy who loves to argue.

    Why would they develop the ability to transfer ONLY languages, and then fall back on those languages for all other communication?

    Because Uryuoms have no ear openings to stick babelfish into. Kind of like iPhones with no phone plug.

    misspelled "nadeshiko"

    You need to distinguish multiple ships with same name. Just like Enterprise may be HMS Enterprise or U.S.S. Enterprise, with designation SP-790, CV-6, CVN-65, CVN-80, NX-01, NCC-1701, NCC-1701 A/B/C/D/E/F/J ... there are multiple Yamatos, and Tom Sewell means this one and not this one.

    But the best kind of Yamato is a Yamato nadeshiko.

    I think Tedd has shown more different forms than any other character. Possibly more than the entire rest of the Main 8 combined.

    I think so too, but until recently, Tedd needed gadgetry to transform. Elliot can look like any female human, but his only male forms are himself and himself as a cat-person. Ellen has only copied females (which might be why she couldn't copy not-Tengu.) This is why I rate Grace as the most versatile shapeshifter.

    But maybe we'll finally see Elliot use the cat form after so long?

    Maybe to encourage Ashley to accept Grace's shapechanging?

    Five of the Main Eight now have ways of taking the forms of other people in various ways: Tedd (to Grace and, potentially, the other six); Elliot (can create new forms more or less on the fly); Ellen (copy spell); Sarah, who at minimum has a watch that allows her to take Tedd's form; and Grace, probably the most versatile shapechanger.

    Speaking of cats, does Grace still have that catnip plant she got at her last birthday? Or has Jeremy eaten it all? If so, I hope Tedd has stocked up on yarn.

    Serious discussion of Superman goes back at least to 1971, when Larry Niven published an essay called "Man of Steel, Woman of Tissue Paper".

    I haven't read a Superman comic for a long while, but I do remember that in at least one Superman didn't have bullets, etc, bounce off his body or some invisible force field, but phased out so that they passed through him. Sound familiar? Dan has given Immortals the same power.

    I think I remember the Mythbusters episode where they proved that the CGI underwater machine gun bullets in Saving Private Ryan were B.S. One of the standard techniques in firearm forensics is firing into a quite-reasonably-sized tub of water in order to recover bullets that aren't distorted from impact.

    You can get projectiles to move underwater for longer distances--really big projectiles. The 18.1 inch monsters the Yamato fired were designed to do exactly that, hopefully converting a near miss into a penetrating hit under the armor belts of other battleships, and this did happen on rare occasions with smaller cannon shells and shot. Actually counting on this turned out to be a genuinely amazing crackpot theory that failed horribly.

    However, you can build rockets that will have much longer ranges underwater; the Russians build rocket torpedoes designed to catch up with modern nuclear submarines, which are usually faster than surface ships and most conventional torpedoes.

    Reminding myself that Akiko has seen Rhoda transform (but didn't seem to know that Rhoda knew Nanase) makes me wonder about Akiko going to the party. What's my excuse for that? Well, it could be simply that Nanase has to sit Akiko tonight. It could also be that Mama Kitsune knows that with Nanase bringing Akiko along, there won't be any R-rated things going on at the party.

    I also forgot a really obvious surprise guest: The Demonic Duck. It's been way too long since the Duck of Distraction has appeared in a canon comic.

    I don't recall that anyone else (human) know about Rhoda and Catalina's magic.

    Grace at least suspects that Catalina and Grace have magic from her special dreams. And given Grace's extraordinary skills in observing physical features and dimensions, it seems plausible that Grace suspects by now that Rhoda has been either been using some type of transformation magic or is spending a lot of money on hair extensions and padded bras.

    And don't forget that Nanase's sister actually saw Rhoda transform before her eyes. Nothing seems to have come of that yet...

    He snooped around and found how to get access to Sirleck's money.

    That is, of course canon,  but I still wonder about that.  In the modern world, knowing where some one has their money isn't the same as having access to it.  Assuming, of course, it's not a big pile of cash and/or gold and silver.

    That "little" detail evaded me somehow. But it inspires a brand-new, maybe not-so-crackpot plot theory. Elliot and Ellen's dad is supposed to be an accountant. Well, if he works for the FBI, it follows that he knows forensic accounting. In other words, how to follow money. Mr. Dunkel might just follow Sirleck's ill-gotten gains to Magus. I doubt Magus has much expertise in money-laundering or how easy it is to trace credit-card transactions. Not much application for dragon-fighting.

    No, mlooney was right, the last panel of the comic he linked that you said was off was showing Nanase holding Little Nase (note the difference in hair), which Susan had to re-summon in order for Nanase to feel what Susan felt holding Nanase.

    Susan did reveal that Little Nase had disappeared in http://egscomics.com/egsnp/2014-10-27. So Susan did re-summon Little Nase, probably so Nanase could feel a fairy in her own hands. It isn't shown, but since Tedd was right there, Tedd (finally) saw Susan use her magic for something other than summoning hammers. YOU WON THE ARGUMENT!!
