> Comic Book Limbo? Huh. That makes sense. Still don't know where the stitch-gates came from, or how the lighthouse brought it all together.

I think we'll probably have to explain that before we're done.

> The lighthouse inscription is obviously significant, in a BSG-line sort of way.

Yep, it's the opening chapter of The Da Visionary Code.

> It's nice to see Marie wound up in better bansheeing circumstances than she was in the mansion, with self-awareness and all.

I don't know if it's a good status quo for her, though. The Mansion already has one intangible image girl in Hallie.

> A clever new application of Griffin's powers (I had wondered about that myself).

I think it's up to vizh to decide how much of this stuff works outside the special conditions of Comic-Book Limbo (which tends to favour things becoming intangible and fading).

> Only the Hood multitasks better than Al B. as a villain.

I remember that character.

> Superior intelligence had no hope of defeating Ronnie's absence of mind (I'd always thought that was a great way of fooling zombies, even before The Mummy) and the Shoggoth's incomprehensible mind.

Intelligence will only get you so far.

> Yo as a holy symbol = awesome, because it's not the symbol itself, but the faith invested in it, that makes it powerful (back in the '80s, a comic horror film had a yuppie repelling a vampire by holding up his wallet, since the yuppie held it as holy and had so faith in it).

Yo vs the vampires was a scene I really wanted to play.

> Creative tricks that Lee and Hallie pulled. And Cromlyn needs to be played by veteran character actor Richard Lynch. His commentary on Dancer's character kind of stung.

It's taken almost verbatim from an old e-mail from Shep.

> Shrike's attempts to switch sides were amusingly in-character. I'm thinking Dream is going to be extra-resistant to mind-control, the next time it's attempted on him.

I thought he was being extra-resistant this time.

> And I look forward to Al being un-villained and Golgamoria being saved. $\:\)$

Originally I was going to turn Al bad until poster-Al got back, but now I'm feeling I may need to curtail extravangant long-term plots due to limited time capacity to see them through.
