I WOULD EAT A HUNDRED BABIES TO GET THE UPDATE OUT

If you're serious about increasing your baby-eating capacities, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to eating 100 consecutive babies!

Think there's no way you could do this? I think you can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achive this goal!

No doubt some of you can already eat 50 consecutive babies, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 babies. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10.

However, it really doesn't matter which group you fall into. If you follow the progressive baby-eating training program, I'm positive you'll soon be able to eat 100 babies!

if we don't get a new ep tomorrow i may have to stab myself in the brain with whiskey.

- Abyss, is just saying...

Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat 100 babies, but take it from this old compulsive eater, i've spent my entire adult life at the buffet table, and a program like this can do you more harm than good.

If you only train one part of your digestive tract (and that's all a single food source like babies is going to do to you) you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

Babies basically only train the jaw and the stomach, what you really want to do is train the entire digestive tract (throat, colon, stomach jaws, liver, kidneys). Basically, you need a full meal, so don't forget to ask for a coke and some dry, white bread.

I'm proud of anyone who wants to do this. My advice, find a convenient orphanage, with overstressed and underpaid staff. Ask them about taking a hundred babies off their hands, they couldn't be more helpful.

Don't worry about being embarrassed to enter the orphanage. Everyone has to take their first steps somehow. Eventually you'll get used to it, and soon you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

Now get out there and get eating.

I have a vision!!!

I..HAVE...A ...VISION!!!



TELEVISION!!!!





so whats up with that?
any guesses

[Abyss]

Good question. Mark pre-emptive strike? KK manifesting visions thru her toys? Moat-in-time (love that!) by-effect?

Alice's bit at the beginning was great. I love how she's become a solid part of the cast.

So... helicopter gone... future vision or something else? because Connor's scan apprently didn't see it...

And ok, fine Sirkka can stay nekkid, but did we have to see Karl in his tighty-whiteys?

[Aptorian]

About the copter disappearing.

I think one of two things happened.

A. It is like that comic where Thanos used the Cosmic cube to move all the Avengers one second into the past... or was that future?... making them seem to disappear and become unable to affect what was currently happening in present time. The copter is still there. It is just a day away in "time space". Time in the bubble and time outside are racing to meet up but it will only become visible to the people inside the bubble again when time is close to clashing.

B. What they did was too late to catch the crack commando squad of who knows who? inside the helicopter and they were inside the zone when the moat was dug. While Alice was looking away it set down out of sight and they'll be making their way on foot from there.

Personally I doubt the B scenario. The Freakangels could sense them coming and they should also have been capable of sensing how close they were.

[Abyss]

I don`t know your Thanos ref but now i have to find it because everything Thanos does is win.

That said, i`m guessing Alice saw a future-echo or something. The heli is coming, but it hasn`t happened yet.

Alice was just great tho`. She is such a good character in terms of having her react to the crazy shite she`s become involved in. Connor telling her she`s in charge was just perfect.

Is it bad that i so want it to come down to Arkady vs Mark with Alice and a troop of Whitechapel residents running in with shotguns and just fucking him up....?

It's from way back in the day. 70s-80s I think.

It has Captain Marvel in it and some other guy, can't remember his name, who was dedicated to beating up Thanos. Hell I even think Adam Warlock showed up.

Obscure Thanosim is win!
Other guy would be Drax, who got a very neat re-do in the ANNIHILATION series.

To drag us back on point tho', i wonder if Mark is destined for misunderstood status, or he'll turn out to be three steps ahead of everyone else.
Arkady's teleports caught him by surprise, which suggests he's not as clever as he thinks he is. but on the other hand, his chat w Connor suggests he IS that clever.

[Aptorian]

Mark may be hiding his fear, behind his tyrant aspirations. It sounds like who or what ever is coming he is genuinely scared of them. People who are afraid do some stupid things.

Mark makes that point in today's ep.

Which was basicaly a move the plot forward ep, with a Kait/Quincy element that i'm going to need to excise from my brain with acid.

Not sure what was going on with the tv - possibly an unexpected byproduct of the upgrades, or just Kait fucking around. Kirk talking her down was a nice touch.

I suspect this ep was specifically to set up the Arkady-as-lone-guardian for the next few eps.

[Aptorian]

I think Kaitlins TV mojo was just a dramatic whim. She was channelling "Big Brother" there for a while and so her omnipresent shadow manifested as Televisions seeing in to your homes... or maybe I am just making stuff up.

I'm pretty sure she was just fucking about - look at her pose in the first two panels on page 2, and her reaction claiming that she said 'this isn't fun' instead of 'this is fucking awesome'.

[Abyss]

i liked that - so very Kait to say this isn't fun while she's subroutining in her own personal cop show involving sex with Quincy.

Which is SO WRONG btw.

I thought Arkady's "don't worry, I'll watch everything!" could well be a dark omen

i have high hopes for whatever happens next.

Agreed. Hoping everyone we saw is going to Mark-out and start stabbing.

Did like the Arkady bit tho'. Someone elseforum suggested Arkady is actually Mark's pawn - i doubt that but it would be a neat twist.


And now we absolutely need violence and 'splosions and hopefully Kait shagging Quincy UNTIL HIS WIZENED OLD MAN LEGS FALL OFF!

[amphibian]

What I took from the scenes of domestic tranquility:

- Emphasis on natural routines of predation, production and consumption. It's wired into us to find food (grow plants, kill animals), prepare it and then eat it. Survival impulse and all. My extension of that logic: the helicopter was always coming. There's a band of predators that have found enough hardware to go around taking what they need and being badass enough that they can get away with it.

- Showing how fire and electric power/light is crucial to all inhabitants of the Freakangels land. Makes me think that darkness is coming. Perhaps the power plant will be hit.

- The moat in time ages people dramatically. Two week period to get out of it too. I wonder how long Arkady will be able to keep it uncrossed by her lonesome.


Who's Quincy? I've forgotten.
