    The reason Parson's using Maggie to communicate, send orders, etc. is because the Eyebooks have been hacked, remember? Eyebooks can't tell you that they are currently being observed. Maggie, as an experienced Thinkamancer, should be able to tell that her Thinkagrams/whatever are being observed, unless those Archons outside/Charlie can read lips.

    From this basic premise, the fact that Parson is talking to Maggie when he's talking about strategy/orders/etc makes perfect In-Character sense. We even see him talking to Jack and Sizemore through a Thinkagram, and out-of-screen, tells Maggie to tell Wanda to get ready. Why be inconsistent now?

    To seal the argument, in panel 6 of today's comic, Parson tells Maggie to tell Wanda that she has new orders, with Maggie doing the hands-to-temples pose. In panels 1, 3, and 4, she is not. Parson only uses the Eyebooks to talk to Charlie. The Eyebooks are hacked, therefore unreliable for inter-GK use. QED.

    What's the resolution/bitrate on Thinkagrams? Can they be upgraded to HD? Does Charlie get the ArkenDish Network? XD
