    Let's hope this new arc will take place at least a few days after the dozen arcs we have been experiencing the past two years or so.

    I disagree.  I want to see how much drama can be sandwiched between Grace's dream early Friday morning and the Lunchtime Roundtable discussions on Monday.

    How about this?  Sunday morning, Good Tom drags Bad Tom into Church.  Then while standing at the back of the Sanctuary, Bad Tom sees the light and begins dancing while shouting "THE BAND!"

    Spain wasn't the only candidate to sponsor Columbus.  Nearly every prince or king in Europe with the resources to finance the voyage was contacted.  Christopher's brother Bartholomew, for example, approached Henry VII of England.  Mr VII rejected Bartholomew's proposal.  His son would turn out to be the family expert on proposals.

    And there is some evidence that English Fishermen were already fishing the shoals off the coast of Newfoundland before 1492.  But like many anglers, they kept the location of their fish.

    Another point, Eratosthenes had calculated the overall size of the Earth in antiquity.  And Marco Polo did a decent job of reporting the size of Asia.  But there were dissenting opinions.  Christopher Columbus had "expert opinions" that he could show potential investors and crewmen that the overall size of the Earth was smaller and the length of Asia was longer than what the mainstream academics claimed.  Net result is that Columbus's prediction for where the Ocean would meet Asia is actually close to where the Atlantic hits North America.

    Stamp collecting?

    Before the widespread acceptance of Tectonic Theory, Geology was mostly an exercise in cataloguing rocks.  "Serious" Chemists, Physicists, and Natural Philosophers often regarded the geologists as little more than stamp collectors.

    Could Elliot scan the pages of the spell book into some electronic documents, download those documents into the smart phone, and then absorb the phone into the transformed state putting the knowledge of the book directly into the brain?

    Voltaire is Pandora's Ex

    They were not able to have a chld.  But Pandora had a son with a mortal and that kid gets all her attention.

    Volty is setting up machinations to humiliate, hurt, or kill Pandora, Adrian, and/or anyone close to them.  All out of petty jealousy.

    Jerry did warn Susan, Nanase, and Grace about the hissy fits that can erupt when two immortals who chose the same name show up at the same place.  A jealous rage where any number of noncombatants may be injured or killed would not seem out of character.
