    Watching TNG twice is going to take three months if watching an average of four episodes per day (counting double-length episodes as two apiece). Watching all six hundred episodes from five series will take five months at four episodes per day.

    Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that Mamase would mostly hear about Sarah through Sarah's connection to other people, since Nanase has only started hanging out with Sarah one-on-one fairly recently (e.g. where they were meeting to discuss Sarah wanting to break up with Elliot just before Christmas).

    Adrian Raven already stated that the giant boar was clearly violating the square-cube law, so it is implied that any living things enlarged by Rhoda's spell would be likewise. The magical energy within the spell apparently maintains its targets against such problems.

    Aside from some people being generally offended by the mere thought of transgendered people, there is the ongoing narrative that nobody with male genitalia could possibly restrain themselves from lewd conduct in the presence of unclothed hypothetically-potential sex partners.

    You forgot to mention one assumption you are making: that she wasn't aware that there are magic-users who are actively hunting her daughter BEFORE. Despite her "I don't have a sister", she knows much more about Noriko than we do.

    ... maybe her reaction to Ellen dating her daughter would be worse if Ellen wouldn't be magic user. She likely tried to keep her away from Tedd before, but now she seem to gave up that plan and might be scheming to empower the Main Eight ...

    (About the "aware of her friends being magic-users" ... well, even if not directly told, she likely could realize what Greg's training is doing. So we can assume she knows about Elliot, Ellen and Justin being magic-users or on the way to becoming them, and she likely knows about Susan. Not sure what she thinks about Tedd. Not sure if she knows Sarah and Grace at all - she may not even know about them being Nanase's friends - wait. She gave Nanase the task of helping Tedd courting Grace.)

    Mamase may have known that enemies were hunting her daughter, but the not-Tengu incident stood as proof that such enemies were starting to find and attack her in situations where Edward and other "protector" figures are unable to reach her immediately. Keeping Nanase safe thus requires either getting more/better protectors, hiding Nanase from enemies, or else building Nanase's strength so that she can hold out in such confrontations until the protectors can arrive.

    Mamase is likely at least aware of Grace as "Tedd's live-in girlfriend", if Nanase has spoken of her at all beyond simply acknowledging that Tedd has a girlfriend. Mamase seems to maintain at least some contact with Edward, so she may know whatever he is willing to tell her. Sarah however is somebody whom she might not know much about directly except vague descriptions from Nanase about "Elliot's girlfriend"/"Susan's friend"/"Tedd's new lab assistant".

    Tara looks so... enthusiastic in that last panel.

    I wonder if folks could convince those two to stick around? At least for a bit? And maybe come back to visit later? They're cool.

    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.

    Anyway, I agree that the list of top suspects, among those characters whom we already know about, consists of Pandora, Col. Glowy, and Sirleck.

    Hmmm, if it is Col. Glowy, then that would provide a motive for him to manipulate Tara and thus keep her separated from Andrea, as Tara would be able to curbstomp many of the Vampires if he didn't keep her distracted.

    Given that the Immortals have laws among themselves that they take seriously, it follows that they probably have some means of enforcing them and enforcing punishments--even if there are no Immortall "Sheriffs" (i.e. persons tasked specifically with finding and arresting violators), there is probably some sort of Immortal Court/Council that would be empowered to sit in judgement of accused violators. The fact that they worry about violations instead of dismissing them as improbable says that their laws are not enforced solely by a geas placed upon them forcing them to obey the letter of their oaths (if not the spirit), but rather that their society bears some or most of the burden of enforcement.

    Hmm, a thought: Might the spike in vampire attacks be part of Sirleck's plan to keep Helena and Demetrius occupied? Sirleck would be ensuring that they encounter every Aberration that comes into the area, both to keep them busy, and to keep them distracted from noticing him (as he said, body snatchers are even more hated than vampires, given that they not only steal a victim's life but also impersonate the victim and steal the victim's reputation and relationships).

    What would actually be left of the capital after getting nuked? Well, that depends on the yield of that nuke. Either "not much" or "crater".

    Rhoda? There is an order for giant ants coming!

    LOL Rhoda and giant ants! I hope she's not too scared of bugs . . .

    As for Washington D.C., I would expect that any hardened military defenses would survive (the Pentagon and other military bases, and the underground bunkers for protecting key government personnel and records), but most of the above-ground structures would be destroyed. A low-yield nuke would probably have an effect similar to Hiroshima (buildings and people destroyed for a half-mile radius, and a firestorm beginning over most of the area within a one-mile radius, possibly spreading if weather is favorable to it and firefighting is ineffective), while a higher-yield nuke would be the same but over a much larger area, possibly the entire city. Craters only happen if the bomb is detonated close to ground level--an airburst like Hiroshima or Nagasaki would leave no crater.

    Most actual transgendered persons, as opposed to false claimants, would rather forget that they have the "inappropriate" set of genitals. A MTF person is far less interested in having access to nude women than in being one of them--wanting to feel like and be seen as "one of the girls". She would not want to display or use her male parts for unwelcome sexual encounters, and would in fact prefer to pretend not to have them at all.

    Ah, I think we are talking about two different groups of Japanese suicide pilots. Scotty is speaking of the pilots who crash their airplanes into enemy positions as a last resort when their normal attack fails. I, on the other hand, was speaking of the Special Kamikaze Force, who were tasked with flying the manned flying bomb, the Ohka. Those pilots were sent on a mission where they were not only expected to die, but where death was essentially mandatory--if a pilot failed in his attack run and survived, he would sometimes be executed as a coward and a traitor. I was not speaking metaphorically about them being welded into their cockpits, either--those who showed reluctance to carry out their missions were often physically restrained from being able to bail out of their aircraft so that they would not desert in the face of the enemy.

    Incidentally, the latter made me snicker. What is wrong with me? 

    [Conflicts (e.g. "the most obvious", death; aggression; dealing with stranger; dealing with danger; no squirrels; dogs)]

    "Indeed", indeed.

    I forget the soirce, but. . .

    "Tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall in a sewer and die."

    In other words, comedy is heavily based upon schadenfreude.

    The fact that he hesitated definitely means that he was about to say something other than "father". Most likely is either "mother" or "parents", but it might have been somebody we aren't thinking of . . .

    Hmm, might Jerry know about Adrian Raven? In that case he might also know that Pandora is Tedd's "Fairy Grandmother", who seems to regard Tedd as being the closest thing she has to a grandchild.
