    Allies

    He's intimidated by Nathan's boxes.
  2. Initially I thought the WOTD was opism, and I wondered, what the heck is an op?
  3. Taken from R. B. Sheridan's character, Mrs. Malaprop.
  4. Megalomanics. Don't you just love them?

    Running Blind

    M looked at her and determined he didn't put a tracker in her. He would have knowledge of Beth from her and maybe he can track the car.
  6. I had to chuckle at Toodle Lou. When I was a boy, there was a radio personality who did his show from a windowed aerie overlooking one of the main drags and his personal shout outs of 'Toodle Loo' were coveted.
  7. The appearance in Ballyhoo was in 1933. Ballyhoo folded for its second and final time in 1954.
  8. The general consensus is zilch first originated in 1920's college and theater slang.

    Chapter 12

    The only siblings of Peter's being mentioned as homophobic and against him are his sisters. Maybe some hope with his brothers.

    Running Blind

    Bradley definitely has a sadder backstory than Connor. As we saw, the Agent has only been toying with Connor. He could have easily hurt him at any time and M has some hidden tricks as well. Was the Agent lying about Mother? It's too soon to say, but how the heck is he still tracking them?
  11. I could hear the song in my head.
  12. Windlass type devices are used in modern ships to raise the anchors, whereas capstans were used in sailing ships. The main difference is windlasses are horizontal and capstans are vertical.

    Chapter 12

    Regardless of Peter's mother treating his siblings well, seeing her treatment of Peter would have to leave them with some mental baggage.

    Chapter 12

    Some of it would depend on entry backlog at local agencies and their willingness to extradite for offenses. Some won't go more than a county or so away unless it's a major felony, but arrests would still show on a fingerprint check. Those go into the system.

    Chapter 12

    Something Margo brought up but was never answered is how did Luciano's get away with serving alcohol to a minor? I had figured with George going to the courthouse this dinner would be for Peter's adoption. Is Taylor funding Danbury's flight? I don't see how he can stay in education with an outstanding felony warrant.
  16. Were there none in the destroyed starship?
  17. Simon and Yidian seem to be on a meandering course to merge again. Hopefully, Connor's arrival will help and Vale reveals enough to Simon for him to prevail.
  18. Razzle-dazzle in movies now is mostly CGI.
  19. The star pool was an ideal way to clean up an unwind after dealing with the nasty godstrolls. Twenty six liters of blood is a lot. How much more do they need?

    Chapter Six

    You have to wonder about someone who would approach two guys he suspects of multiple murders alone and accuse them. Nathan wasn't the only one making a mistake and Tarn was a repeat offender. His first was getting so close to the cell to be assaulted. Tarn was just too dumb to live. I did expect a little cleaner kill from Nathan, but more drama, I get it. Cormac is the beggar, an ex-monk. His curse is to see the auras of people, all their sins laid bare in color. I can see how constantly viewing hypocrisy every day would challenge your faith. Nathan and Brohm are going to try and break this cycle of pushing each other away. Nathan is trying to overcompensate for his past sins and Brohm still lets anger rule him too easily.
  21. In sports, giving them the razzle-dazzle is to perform a complex play intended to confuse.
  22. Razzle-dazzle can be a state of confusion.
  23. Next time blast all the ships before they can move out of range.
  24. I wonder what happened to the planet's weapons?
