Hi. Here's the due cheering and applause for the Thermopylae logs. Thanks you all for a very entertaining weekend!

A few things and snippets I liked particularly or noticed for some reason or the other:

* First thing, it was all around a very good job at building up anticipation over the week.

* I'm not sure why, but for me was the goodbye scene of Alison and Doug the most moving of all.

* Madelyn's "I work at a school for mutant teenagers. And believe me, it's not that different." line cracked me up.

* The repeating of the com messages from Scott and Nathan all over the logs helped a lot with understanding the timeframe of all the scenes. Very good idea.

* When Hank had to leave Valeri behind - that was sad. [Btw I remember that transformed!beast had a strong healing factor in my old Avengers comics - did Marvel drop that idea, or is it X-journal-verse specific that he has none?]

* I liked the description of how Nathan experienced the trigger.

* Sam's air battle was good and his thoughts when he went down made me laugh.

* Damn. I liked Konstantakis! I would have preferred to see her among the survivors, really.
* I was wondering - why wasn't Radonic roottriggered immediately, like the other second-gens?

* I didn't know the fire and ice poem at the start of part 8 and I like it. X_journal is so educational. :D

* I loved Cains 'taking on Director Ruiz' scene because by then I was rightfully pissed about the stunt she had pulled.

* It was cool when Xavier helped powering the Trojan horse, because I had completely forgotten about him at that point.

* Mick's death was sad! Likewise, the scene where Madelyn finds him. Stating the obvious here, I guess, but still.


[Plus, in the aftermath, Alison's scenes with Ani, Remy and Haroun and the Nathan & Moira one were very good.]

It was a blast to participate in. Insane too, but that's another story.

And Alison is all about sound. It made some things happen just so very naturally, as a result of that... :) I'm looking forward to what comes of this, now. Heh!

I can imagine how insane something like that can be, but it was fantastic to read.

It was just so heartbreaking to read, and I was just trying not to cry all the way through it. Very well done.
