    That's an interesting point and makes me think about what their relationship is like. I guess there is the usual brother-sister sibling rivalry.


Except that Kara started out as a direct alternative continuity Harperling, who by Conservation of Narrative could only survive for long if she eliminaed Cody. I forget how, but that is resolved for now. But it does mean her initial intention in this timeline was to kill her "brother".

Little sister, Darth Kyza, doesn't need to eliminate her siblings to remain in timespace. She just wants to. And she keeps calling her dad "Han B. Harper" for some reason.

    I figure though that she has a rather protectiveness lean towards Cody though she'd never admit it. For his part, he's probably still wondering just who the heck she actually is.


Well, one minute he was a happy surfer dude visiting Paradopolis and suddenly a huge pile of continuity dropped on him.

    There's a lot to Kara which is somewhat unknown. Why is she staying around in this time zone when she could go back to the future (no pun intended)? Is it just to get to know Al B. and co or is there more to it? She's an interesting one - I see Cody as having rather altruistic (and probably one dimensional) motives like his dad, but I'm not sure Kara wouldn't be above stretching things - hence joining Triple A (albeit for her own reasons).


It's almost like her poster should write something about it all.

      Pairing up is another problem. Many fictional narratives are by nature reductive, so if two cast members hook up it has to be some major plot point or startling new status quo. Sometimes it can just be a coffee.



    Quote:
    That's true. And sometimes coffee is just coffee. (Story of my life!)


Ditto.

      Remarkably, a check check reveals I've got rid of rather less female characters than male ones, even discounting villains who by far skew towards being male.

    Really? Go on - share the tally with us.


My statistical team has a bad cold now but she's slowly recovering. She sent me an email today with the links to Chapter 6's continuity references.

    Haven't enough women suffered at the hands of being Bry's love interest? Let's not force that on poor Kara. Hmm, maybe he should date Lucy de Soth for a bit.


Lucy is 16, so she might be a bit young for him.

    I like how you fleshed out the band a bit. Keyboards Melanie has a nice personality I'm sure.


Keyboards Melanie and Fly-Girl for the win!

    Quote:
    Kara's future knowledge of computers (presumably she'd think ours as 'quaint') would impress him though.


I suspect every level or computer tech will have its geeks criticising it. Besides, Kara is all about the maths of it, which isn't anything like as interesing as the script exploits. She actually wants to fix the flaws and where's the fun in that?
