The crunchy rice in my leftover sushi is bringing me down. I wish it were fresher.

Briar Rose theories.

Okay, so now that Dr. Amy Acker ate my hamster proved Paul wasn't Alpha liek I hoped  (DAMN) (despite that, Alpha menacign her was a pretty epic menacing. That, I can appreciate. It was epic.) I am theorizing that Paul is an Active. He's ALPHA's ( Read more... )

They've all had different journeys to different places, gained different insights from their journeys, and have learned ( Read more... )

There are a lot of people out there who don't like Rose. That's okay. Everybody responds differently to characters. Many of these people write meta on why they don't like Rose, and again, that's okay. I've read several of these posts; some of them have made sense, some haven't. Some have seemed to make sense up until the logic is deconstructed to ( Read more... )
