credulous - Word of the Day - Sun Jul 20, 2025
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
The credulous are poised on tiptoes , ready to invest in the latest and nuttiest conspiracy theory. -
To best understand someone, observe them in their own environment. We've now seen all three at home and it has explained so much of their behavior. Brad gets his glad handing nature from his large and boisterous extended family. Alexander had his cold fish and analytical nature bred into him, but it didn't kill his heart. He truly cherishes the simple leather bracelet Lyn gives him because he knows even such a small thing would have strained Lyn's finances and it is a physical token of their connection.

The immediate assumption for Jacob's condition would be acute appendicitis, but I find the phrase 'familiar ache' particularly troubling. It's also happening at a time when Andrew doesn't need such a severe distraction. It's the things you don’t know that trip you up. Neither Enrico nor Andrew recognize each other as primary players, but how long will it last when their destination is identical? It's pretty clear now Milos was trying to say Alvarez. On Enrico's part, he is unaware of the intricate trip wires on Finch's accounts, and counting too much on the combined security of Swiss banking and cryptocurrency. The game is notching up.

impetus - Word of the Day - Sat Jul 19, 2025
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
The early morning impetus for many of is is coffee. -
This was a complex chapter. The Reed residence is under passive surveillance by as yet unknown agents. Since Dr. Reed now has a tracker on her car, she is a direct suspect in the data breach. How careful will Enrico/Allen be connecting up with Ezra? The insertion of Miller on Acheron was a given since it was the purpose of the attack. The Navy should have shuffled the ships out of caution. Why access Finch's funds again?

detrimental - Word of the Day - Fri Jul 18, 2025

Why must the detrimental be so alluring? -
Yes, James is one of my favorite characters.
-
I loved it.

In a giant magic mushroom in the sky sounds like a song lyric. It'd plug right into Oasis' Champagne Supernova.

Definitely a job for Will and Andrew.

Could, but might risk exposing an asset.

ubiquitous - Word of the Day - Thu Jul 17, 2025
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
As commentors on the Word of the Day, we are not ubiquitous. -
So Sinclair is the puppetmaster or thinks so. How did he co-opt Enrico into this plot? Enrico doesn't like him. Perhaps Sinclair's days are already numbered.

Hernacki can, but there's not one there. Maybe Investigator has a Hernacki Life Alert.
-
We-uns are in the overthinking business.
-
Well, except once in there, they can't contact anybody.

When I heard Frost's first name, the WWII meme 'Kilroy was here' was the first thing I thought of.

Perhaps like Blanche DuBois, they'll have to depend on the kindness of strangers.

She's a fiesty lady. She reminds me of one of my aunts.
-
Well, he's doesn't tend to generate my sympathy.

There are unknowns here. They believe they can use the Cooee to bypass the field, but once there can they get out? If all the bombardment was being directed elsewhere, was it damaging anything?

I was surprised to see rind can be the bark of a tree.

Well, I wondered how the reconnect would come about. They are even making some uncharacteristic concessions to each other. We also find out Frost had a twin brother, now deceased. There is a lot of trauma involved in losing a twin and Frost shut down any further questions fast. I'm sure Todd can glean more information from his grandmother.

At least two lynchpins of this top secret test have been completely exposed, setting up an enormous disaster in waiting.

No accuracy? It'll put one in your hat.
