LOL! I love the Die Hard reference! It makes my life complete!

[starandrea]

After "Live Free or Die Hard," I'm such a convert! ♥

[pink_thunder17]

Oh man... By far the BEST Die Hard movie... That, and MAC was in it lol

Oh, btw I LOVE that icon... Everytime I read/hear those words, I think of the Wendy's commerical with the Air Supply burger... and it sings... and its hilarious!

[starandrea]

So yes! Mac rules! AND hilarious culture clash between the generations; I loved it! ♥

::giggles:: Interestingly, Hunter and Cam are now irrevocably linked with the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in my mind, because of that song, which plays in the car as they're fleeing their latest "we didn't die" scene. He turns it up, she gives him a disgusted look, and he's like, "What? I like this song."

PS: ♥ Luke! Gilmore Girls always did a good job of contrasting masculine and feminine ways of solving problems ^_^

Yay for fuzzy duck slippers! LOL! I swear you know me to well. That is exactly how I act. :D

And, aw for Rose/Charlie. And for A Squad team-ness. And, sad for Don. Well, sad for A Squad about Don.

Sorry, I'm a bit spacey right now. But me likey!

[starandrea]

::giggles:: Yay for C Squad tech! I'm so glad!

Seriously, A Squad must have the best stories o.O I guess it'll be hard to get them to share so soon after coming home, but wow... what a crazy thing, surviving on an alien planet with no help for so long. It's like the ultimate deserted island ::hugs team::

Thank you! ::sparkle::

[purplestripe66]

Yay for you!

A Squad is totally awesome. I can't even imagine what they went through. You get to have a fun time figuring it out though. :)

[rosabelle]

Ooh, okay, now I'm totally in love with your A squad. They're all awesome and cuddly! (And because I've hardly watched SPD, like, at all, did you make up their names?)

[starandrea]

♥! That makes me so happy! They totally ARE awesome and cuddly! ::champions A Squad!::

Charlie was named in the credits, though not during the course of the actual show ::nods:: She was the only one. There was a thing that went around Rangerboard, I think, where a group of people agreed on names for the other members of A Squad, but I didn't like them. (The names, not the people!) So I made up new ones :)

[rosabelle]

I was wondering. :) When I first started reading fanfic, PRiS was the only season that I'd seen all the way through. It still might be the only one, but I hadn't seen any episodes of Turbo at all. So when there were people that showed up all the time in stories and I had no idea who they were, I thought they'd shown up in one episode of PRT never to be heard from again. I finally asked a friend about it. "Oh, I think they're all Starhawk's."

[starandrea]

::laughs:: I love it! I will sprinkle characters like... those little sprinkly things on spritz cookies! Expand our universe through community creation! ♥

In all seriousness, I find that when I go to write fanfic, I just can't do it with only the characters who were on the show--not because they're not good enough, but because there must be so many more people in their lives, you know? I feel like one of the great advantages we have with text, as opposed to video, is this ability to introduce and develop unlimited numbers of "classmates" and "next door neighbors" and "that guy you see on the bus everyday" without having to maintain the biggest payroll in Hollywood ♥

B Squad was full of some of the weirdest cadets Rose had ever met.

I second Rose's opinion. They are a strange lot. lol. But I love how they're interacting with each other. B-Squad being the big siblings looking out for their baby brothers and sisters without with hovering over-protection that borders on obessive.

Even Sky, though he and Charlie butt heads on a regular basis.

Love the fluffy pjs and Z's comeback of not having them as a defense. That nicely illustrated the care B-Squad is showing for A-Squad. Handing her morpher over speaks volumes. That she a) trusts them enough to give it to them in the first place b) wants them to have a means of protection for themselves and c) her concern if they do find themselves in a bind. Actually her concern for them, period.

Great chapter as usual!

[starandrea]

It's funny, but I think B Squad might have ended up with more of a hero-worship thing going with A Squad if Jack hadn't jumped in and just passed out the A Squad morphers to whoever was in the lab at the time ^_^ By doing that, he was sort of like, "Hey, we could be A Squad. We're not, but we COULD be, you know? They're just like us!"

And everyone who knew Jack, and knew that he's not some magical infallible guy and is in fact kind of stupid sometimes, was just like, "Huh. Well, I guess if JACK can have an A Squad morpher, maybe A Squad IS kind of like us. Maybe they would like a little help..."

Loves you! ♥

Lol! Yes I agree with that sentiment. Especially the last part. ;)

Loves you! ♥

*loves you back*

Oh thank god! *is relieved* After I hit 'submit' the page timed out and I got 'cannot find page' and I was sweating losing everything I had just typed. So glad it went through. LJ can be kind of fickle sometimes.
