> ...which is why I've been home 2 days and haven't written anything yet. I can't concentrate. It's very frustrating. $\:\($

I have that problem all the time. I think it's early onset Alzheimer's.

> At some point Liu Xi is going to start realizing that her grandfather is working on stuff behind her back. When she does she's going to become angry.

He's acting like a traditional Chinese patriarch and telling her only what is good for her, while making arrangements about her which he feels no need to discuss. He's expecting obedience and submission in exchange for which he will see to her best interests as he determines them. It's an old East vs new West culture clash.

> Speaking of which, I'm sure after meeting him and getting a "creepy" vibe, Lara might be keeping a close eye on the Carnifex suddenly becoming active and wonder why.

He's the world's most powerful superhero. Naturally he'd fly in to save the day against the alien invaders who wanted to conquer the Earth. Hurrah for him!

> And if she learns he wiped out an entire empire...well, surprisingly she may actually realize it was necessary. But she won't tell the Lair Legion that, or say why to anyone who isn't a close friend (she always had the feeling they were fixated on destroying Earth, and sometimes heavy-handed measures are necessary).

The Carnifex has effectively established that Earth is a very bad place to mess with. On the one hand it's going to keep a lot of small fry away from the solar system. On the other it's put Earth to the top of the list of cosmic menaces with Galactivac and Thugos.

> I got a laugh out of Chiaki dispensing with excuses and telling Don Graham the blunt truth. Though it's not that she had much to lose by doing that.

Why would she lie to Graham? He's smart enough to know when to work with people who can do things he can't or isn't allowed to. Unfortunately he's also smart enough to ask the uncomfortable questions till he gets answers too.
