x_projectHi. 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.]
