As have I, actually -- which sucks a bit since I've only been up a half an hour yet. But I can already tell it's gonna be a long day. I've got allergies and a bit of a leftover headache from Monday. But you know, on the other hand, I've got a case of red bull in the fridge. So I'll probably try not to set anyone on fire today. But you have to help by not doing anything worth getting set on fire for, okay? Okay. So, how is everyone? ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245636#Comment_245636 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245636#Comment_245636 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:13:53 -0700 Pfilip of Everywhere
Comment on the end of last week's episode/start of this week's--anyone else think it might have been interesting to reveal some kind of history with Kait and Jack? In terms of personality (including their fondness for firearms) they seem to have a connection there. If nothing else, a little one-sided attraction on Kait's part would lend an interesting shade to her character. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245637#Comment_245637 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245637#Comment_245637 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:16:41 -0700 Kradlum I was away last week so I forgot to congratulate everyone involved on Freak Angels 100. It doesn't feel like that long, which means it must be a good thing!
I had a minor migraine yesterday, and I still feel it lurking around behind my eyes and in my gut today but I don't want to take migraleve as it makes my skin prickle. apart from that, been watching the World Cup and playing WoW. Meeting an infrequent Whitechapel poster tomorrow for lunch. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245638#Comment_245638 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245638#Comment_245638 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:19:30 -0700 reptilegrrl
I am pretty impressed with Kait right now. I wouldn't have imagined her to be so sensible.

And oh, I love Alice. I love her so. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245639#Comment_245639 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245639#Comment_245639 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:20:56 -0700 staticgirl
I am thinking of being girly and photographing loads of roses tomorrow, if I feel well enough.

Nice ending feeling today - don't know a technical phrase for it. Alice's little moment kind of allows you a pause to breathe and think 'you have no idea' before bracing yourself for the next episode. Alice is looking less gaunt and tired, I note. i love the detail in the art that allows you to read a little story that isn't in the text.

Typical brother-sister style interaction between Jack and Kait. hah. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245640#Comment_245640 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245640#Comment_245640 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:21:07 -0700 Pooka I am excited and apprehensive.

I imagine that Jack's head would be spinning (along with the others who hadn't dabbled in death before) at the realization (actually, I would think that someone was putting me on, suspicious to the end, until there was actual proof- this is just not something you could mention in a conversation and expect it to be taken for granted) that being a FreakAngel they cannot die.
At any rate, something new and unusual is about to happen, and the kids will change.

Will they all start to glow purple? ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245668#Comment_245668 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245668#Comment_245668 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:13:48 -0700 longtimelurker FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245679#Comment_245679 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245679#Comment_245679 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:47:20 -0700 government spy
Kait to me seems a little relieved. Like now she knows that there's a good chance that she might not have to worry about the FA killing each other. I don't think she quite believes it all yet, and it'll take some proving, but her job as FAPD might not be as demanding as she wants to think it is. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245681#Comment_245681 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245681#Comment_245681 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:53:24 -0700 mister hex

I also don't get the impression that all the lady 'angels have a crush on Jack. I think that Sirkka and Jack are a rare situation- two Freakangels who have a romantic relationship with each other. The others all seem to prefer lovers who aren't Freakangels, and I can understand why. Most of us really don't want our partners to be able to know our thoughts ;)

Nor, btw, is Connor fat. No one is fat in Whitechapel because they are living at subsistence levels. Everyone is FED, but no one is fat. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245705#Comment_245705 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245705#Comment_245705 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:05:39 -0700 Val A Lindsay II
What a fucking week. Thought the cold was breaking on Wednesday, then I was running around with a 100.8 degree fever yesterday, sleeping when I could, wondering if all this was actually happening the rest of the time. Sort of normal now, but I feel like I've been tossed out the back of a car.

And while Sirkka doesn't ACTIVELY control their minds, she's built herself a bit of a cult of personality, no?

Then again, she's not had much screen time. Neither has Connor. Funny no one's responded to him leaving. I imagine we'll get to that. (See? More speculation.) ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245710#Comment_245710 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245710#Comment_245710 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:15:28 -0700 bairdduvessa FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245719#Comment_245719 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245719#Comment_245719 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:44:19 -0700 Ninewhilenine83
If Sirkka has abilities and, presumably, a higher I.Q. (or some other fr more reliable way of measuring intelligence) far and above that of "normal" people, then - even with the best of intentions in mind - isn't her relations with said bog standard human beings tantamount to abuse? Entering into a relationship of someone with severe learning disabilities is abuse, and in all likelihood the gap between norms and 'angels is probably just as wide.

You could make an argument from free will, but exercising that will requires mental capabilities, and inevitably, the more gifted one is with intelligence, then the more one can exercise their will and is more able to understand its limits and repercussions. Thoughts, ideas?

Just throwing the ideas out there. I don't even necessarily agree with the points above, just extensions of logic gone haywire... ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245720#Comment_245720 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245720#Comment_245720 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:44:29 -0700 bobsyuncle FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245723#Comment_245723 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245723#Comment_245723 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 09:57:27 -0700 stsparky

One direction that I hope the story will go in is considering the implications of the FAs not dying. How does one keep a FA from stepping way out of line if capital punishment is no longer an option? I know anti-death penalty advocates have been arguing for years that the death penalty is barbaric, and I agree with that. But such advocates have never overcome my skepticism that they've found a workable alternative outside of permanent imprisonment. Yet in the FA scenario, such an option seems unlikely.

Personally, the week's had its ups and downs. I'm never awake early enough to catch even a single World Cup game. The latest headache from my health insurance company makes me jealous of all those Whitechapelers who live in countries which have nationalized health care. OTOH, our local LGBT film festival started up yesterday and I'm looking forward to catching some nice movies. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245735#Comment_245735 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245735#Comment_245735 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:13:29 -0700 Masterful Eyes
What originally drew me into the series was the great scenes of character diversity. And I like to see more of that diversity.

Do not get me wrong, I loved this episode. However, there were certain questions that hadn't been answered specifically yet because we jumped to answering an more immediate set of questions. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245739#Comment_245739 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245739#Comment_245739 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:25:14 -0700 NextThursday

Yeah, she has her harem, but there's a difference between having people around for sex and being in a relationship. I, for one, was sad to see them break up last week.
I don't know if I see any potential for a romantic connection between Kait and Jack. I think that staticgirl is right when she refers to their relationship as "brother-and-sister".
Wish we could have seen Conner this week, though.

@Masterful Eyes: Touching every active subplot of a twelve-principal story every month would, I think, make for some very choppy storytelling, and entirely preclude things like the three-week-long rant we all enjoyed so recently.

Abuse? Nah. Normal people might not have the package, but they're still capable of making informed consensual sexual decisions. Banning any FA/non-FA sexual contact would mean they could only be with each other, and I can already hear half of them reacting to the idea.... ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245769#Comment_245769 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245769#Comment_245769 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:22:41 -0700 chris g Still waking up. Yesterday I went to some restaurant/bar after work to meet up w/ my sis an her friends. Took forever for them to bring me a goddamn beer. Then I just said "I have to pee" and then walked out, haha. It was starting to get loud and obnoxious from all the people watching the game. So i walked off the beer and explored the PetSmart. I saw a HUGE fuggin' cat in one of the display thingies. Wow. Then I went into BestBuy and bought a wrestling video game, hahahahhaha. Sorry, it's the only kind of game I can enjoy b/c I can punish other humans in it as much as I want. I've been working my way through all of these Smackdown games from 2006 up to 2009 which I bought last night. '09 is by far the most stale.

I am a thrill-a-minute scream fest in real life!!

PS: Mexico game + Lakers game in one day? L.A. became a goddamn powder keg, I knew something bad was brewing.

Well why?

As for me, things could be better, nothing too unpleasant at the moment. I'll be interested to see the results of the tests i'm going in for on tuesday. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245900#Comment_245900 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245900#Comment_245900 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 05:00:58 -0700 rickiep00h
Up early today (it's just getting to 7am) because I'm just at the beginning of Central time today (Chicago) instead of the end of Eastern (Fort Wayne) and that goddamned ball of fire in the sky is entirely too bright. Mountain Dew is in order, and then a walk to the illustrious Chicago Comics, and then punting my daughter on a train to be with her grandparents for two or three weeks. My weekend shall be glorious.

And no ranting from me this week. I promise. Don't set me on fire, Ariana. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245903#Comment_245903 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=245903#Comment_245903 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 05:39:34 -0700 government spy Milk, Milk, Lemonade. or anything by Krystle Ratticus. Based on the stuff you have posted before, I think you'd dig her stuff.

"I am interested by Kait's willingness to forgive murder because it turned out the victim was immortal. This is unintuitive to me."

I don't think it's forgiveness so much a legalistic recognition that if the victim didn't die, it's not murder. She may still be on their asses about assault with intent, but given how little wall-clock time has elapsed, she may not have had time to bring it up. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246133#Comment_246133 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246133#Comment_246133 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:39:14 -0700 platypuspracticus FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246154#Comment_246154 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246154#Comment_246154 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 02:02:57 -0700 reptilegrrl
Re: Alice: It hadn't occurred to me to be worried about her. I expect that the other 'angels would protect her from any revenge Luke might try to take, but it does seem she is a LOT less safe now. As well, we don't know what Luke is going to be like after this shift. Will he still be a total bastard?

I love Alice's *earnestness*.

I also agree that for Kait, it's about legality: Luke isn't dead, so there's been no murder. I suspect her kick to Jack's nethers came from her anger and frustration at the whole situation. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246184#Comment_246184 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246184#Comment_246184 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 07:30:02 -0700 rickiep00h
@reptilegrrl - I don't know that Luke is typically that confrontational. He tends to do violent things in a pretty passive-aggressive way: nudging a grenade that was already on its way through the air, shooting KK's copter rather than her (you know he could have hit her if he really tried), and so on. While he seems to be a bit more talky, I don't know that he'll necessarily be more of a bastard. That remains to be seen. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246359#Comment_246359 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246359#Comment_246359 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:41:47 -0700 johnjones
I also wonder about her place in the group given her willingness to go ahead and use her shotgun without any sort of input from the Angels. Granted Luke deserved what he got but is it really a good idea to let Alice mete out bloody shotgun justice at random?


She wasn't using her shotgun at random. She was using it against a fugitive rapist who'd already killed or injured at least one other person, Kirk, who was guarding. Also, figure in her mind, the Freakangels effectively broke "the deal." They didn't let her (or Jack) kill him and she reluctantly assented to that on the condition that the 'angels would deal with Luke. Since Luke was out and armed, the 'angels had failed to keep their side of the unspoken bargain. Therefore, she took it upon herself to deal with Luke in what she assumed would be a more permanent way.

And I imagine that Alice's reaction to "Luke is immortal" would be: "That has yet to be sufficiently fookin' tested. Lemme get some deer slugs and dynamite and we'll see how immortal 'e is after I blow him to pieces, burn said pieces and then piss on the fookin' ashes." ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246547#Comment_246547 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246547#Comment_246547 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:41:46 -0700 thud FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246564#Comment_246564 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246564#Comment_246564 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 07:22:42 -0700 Fan And I imagine that Alice's reaction to "Luke is immortal" would be

i'm horribly late to this because last week was... there was nothing traumatic about it, really, nothing honestly bad. Just slowly sank into my own apathy and blankness over several days. There's lots to dig through still to get all the way free of that. Well, at least I'm caught up to last Friday, now. ]]> FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246884#Comment_246884 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=246884#Comment_246884 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 16:19:04 -0700 jshebesh FREAKANGELS Episode 0101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=247102#Comment_247102 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8426&Focus=247102#Comment_247102 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:42:26 -0700 Sokete
