Okay, just WOW. You came up with a great premise to string all these together, and I love the explanation for the glove and knife. So many good observations over the course of them. Excellent, excellent job!

I have to admit giggling inappropriately at "A new day, a new dawn, a new life." though. I don't know if that was intentional, so I humbly apologize!

Oh, it was thoroughly intentional, I assure you! After JB's performance at the Royal Variety Show, I had to stick a reference in somewhere. And thanks very much for your nice comments. *grin*

Ooooh, what a compliment. Thank you. And yes, I can't see the point of the glove and blade otherwise.

Uncle Rusty, if you're reading this . . . feel free to use this origin idea in the show. *grin*

That is an inspired origin theory for the glove and the knife and as for the rest, they are very well written and you do a very good job of getting inside Suzie's head.

Loved them.

Thank you! Suzie seems disturbingly easy to write, for some reason . . .

So many bunnies!

Great stuff - I especially love the line about her dad's death giving her back her soul.

crystalshard December 16 2006, 21:35:36 UTC

Thanks! Glad someone picked up on that one. I really got the impression in the episode that it was something Suzie needed to do to free herself. What of, I'm not sure, but it did seem to read that way.

And yes. The amount of plotbunnies I get, I'm starting to think I'm living over a rabbit hole.

Wow. Just...I'm absolutely speechless because of how brilliant these are. The glove makes even more sense, now, and the last one. The last one is absolutely memorable and heartbreaking.

crystalshard December 16 2006, 21:39:35 UTC

Thank you! Yes, I like to have technology make sense. After all, if it's been made, it has to be for a reason. And thanks again for your comments on the last one.
