El Goonish Shive III - Totally Adorkable!

I'm glad it got cleared out.

May I ask though why you removed the names and links in the quotes? I find it very useful to get to the original posts and, in your case, it's difficult to follow the conversation without all the names. And with the multiquote feature it's pretty easy to, well, multi-quote. Was is a personal preference, a length thing, or not knowing about the feature or something?

I'm just used to forums not allowing to quote stuff from locked threads, because the software assume I'm gonna try to post it in the closed thread instead of copy-pasting it to another tab, so I haven't tried here. Go to page 45 of the previous thread if you want to see who is guilty of being wrong.

Nah, I'll be fine :) I know you can quote from other threads with the multi-quote option, but I'm not sure if the ability was removed for locked threads. I don't think so but can't be sure. Thanks for the explanation though :) It seemed like you went into some extra work so I was curious why.

[Calemyr]

Exactly. She's almost definitely not actually unable to lie, but it's a fun little thing to do - maybe moreso with her, since she's all about unpredictability and little challenges.

So what's the other half of the truth?

Look at her deal with Magus.
At first: "Ellen's life depends on you staying here."
Later: "If you hadn't remained here, I wouldn't have saved her."

The first statement is absolutely true, but absolutely deceptive.

[Temporal Echo]

Poor Ashley, dodge a bullet only to be hit by a car instead.

[Adaon Nightwind]

I must admit that Dan's Commentary made me smile a lot. I've only ever known one person to zone out like that in a bookstore (or library), and that person is male. Experiences do shape our expectations :)

Ashley is really coming forward as a character, and i am looking forward to more Ashley-Elliot-Screentime. Plus, i am really curious about the development of their relationship in regard to Elliot's "female side" and Ashley's attraction to both parts of him. As Dan has shown time and again, he will handle it with carefull consideration and just the right amount of fun, and i am looking forward to the coming conversations regarding this topic ^^

[Mith]

Elliot, the best thing to do when assuming is the K.I.S.S principle: Keep It Simple Stupid!

[The Mormegil]

Well I don't know about you, but to me that was the obvious conclusion to reach on Elliot's side. I mean, how could you not imagine something like that?

[Lizard Lord]

In regard's to Dan's commentary I am just imaging Dan slowly backing out of a room with a huge creepy grin on his face while insisting said grin doesn't mean anything.

[Lizard Lord]

In regards to today's comic commentary, when I think of conclusion jumping in friends that first thing I think of is the episode where Monica thought Chandler had a shark fetish. Yes. Seriously.

Really? The first thing that popped into my head was Ross' insistence that "WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!!!"

Well, they were.

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Well, they were.

Oh, come on. Don't tell. Show. (Best punchline in the entire Friends run, IMnpHO).

God bless Hugh Laurie and his acting career.

Word.

Elliot, is not that hard. Seriously. First step, call Tedd. Second step, ask Tedd to let you speak with his father. Third step, tell the nice government wizard that your new girlfriend for some reason or the other knows a little, and needs to be debriefed on magic enough so to minimize the risk to herself and those around her. That and he probably would appreciate the opportunity to do extra exposition to someone unaware.

Elliot, calling someone, "not that hard"? :P He'd probably find it easier to sprint over there directly.

That also works I suppose.

So....I have a theory that came with the newest NP, or specifically the commentary that came with it.


The two young immortals (that likely awakened Nanase and marked Susan when they were older) may have been forcibly retested (as we know that did not have a proper reset, which is why they have vague ideas of their memory rather than having them via the same method Jeremy has his) by Pandora. It would explain why they are following the group if they learned about Pandora's own interest in the group.

Also "when they were older" is a phrase that can only be used with either time travelers or EGS's immortals.

[Mith]

I have to say that Pandora is becoming one of my favourite characters now.

Yeah, I thought that too. Or, it might have been Magus with the involvement of Pandora.

[Lissou]

I think the commentary might actually be trying to hint that Jerry can't hide from Pandora yet. Otherwise, no need to hint at something that was already outright stated in the exact same commentary.

[Rater202]

SAlso "when they were older" is a phrase that can only be used with either time travelers or EGS's immortals.

Now, theoretically a timelord doesn't have to time travel, and could use the phrase "when I was older" to refer to being older biologically in a previous life than they are in now.

I'm quite fond of the phrase "When I was older and stupider".

[The Mormegil]

Pandora in a nutshell.

[Lizard Lord]

I'm half surprised Dan didn't add a "wait...what was that last part" (or something along those lines) after "sweet".

[Mith]

"May you live in interesting times."

I like the Friday NP comic. Its totally something an average scientist would care about. ".2997924579 Gm/s? DAMN! I need to get it up to .2997924581 Gm/s And one day I will! I know it! "

Um. Not sure why that's in gigameters, but a meter per second isn't really such a small amount that it'd never be relevant.

And Tedd's going after something significantly more relevant - half height is still pretty big in a lot of ways. It's small enough to be inconvenient and possibly disorienting, but not really enough for a total shift in what you can do. Relative to the person shrunk, most things become unreasonably large, but you don't reach scales where they'd be used as completely different things (throw pillow as a bed, needle as a spear, etc.). You just end up with chairs being overly tall (and wide) chairs that you can't get to or sit on comfortably, and the same for most other furniture. The most you could get as far as new functionality goes is being able to get into doors sized for small children.

It's in Gm/s because .2997924579 Gm/s is the speed of light, so pushing it even for a few m/s would be a very big deal, yet seem so small, when you look at the numbers.

Ah. Okay then.
