World-travelling country boy from the Appalachian foothills. I'm as comfortable digging ditches as I am rubbing elbows with foreign diplomats. Both can be satisfying and both can get you dirty, all at the same time.

    Perhaps having to clean up the mess?

    I don’t fully understand the issue among the non-participants. Certainly those who cared for the person would be disturbed. that makes sense. But for some reason it tends to disturb people who didn’t give a rip about the person when they were alive. I’ve seen people get downright angry at a suicide victim. (Yeah, I said “victim.” Kind of like a cancer victim, there are often treatable physiological maladies that factor significantly into a person’s state of mind as they approach the decision to take their own life.) But why would people who didn’t care about a person get angry with them for taking their own life? That part I don’t get.

    This looks like someone’s younger sister. Perhaps her name is Prochora…

    …Libris.

    I don’t mind not showing the crime scene investigation if nothing would have come of it just so long as we don’t get talking heads for days instead.

    I guess the cockpit is a fitting place for joining the mile-high club.

    I think Scardol put his cigarettes out on his own forehead.

    Eric had some plot issues that he had to come back and explain. If he’s learned from the Libris story, then we should expect some improvement.

    I believe I speculated that if the hatmobile were to never contribute anything to the story by virtue of it being the hatmobile, then it was only there as a fanboy thing. Maybe Mike should have brought in Rick from Pawn Stars again to evaluate the thing. “I know a guy.”

    I mean, B.O. won the thing at a fundraiser raffle auction so the main thing was the hatmobile, not any kind of consistency.

    No doubt the security service has someone at the desk with patrols throughout the building. It would be a guard patrolling the 58th floor that radioed it to the desk.

    The plot was secondary.

    And that’s the core of the problem.

    We need some DeCon or something Un-Conventional. All the Con- stuff seems ConTrived.

    Here’s one: What do you call it when you really love the fan conventions and really want to write it into every last little thing, but you’re trying hard not to because on some level you know people hate it, when along comes a convention and you go to it and you just have to write about it anyway?

    Con-tempt.
