Thanks.

Also, love that exchange between Harry and !

Actually, it's with Ramirez as they head into the final battle. (The advantage of just finishing the book, because I'd originally remembered it as Harry and Thomas myself.)

(I've been wanting to ask Jim if his "too pretty to die" was a FF reference)

I know Jim's a big Buffy fan and I know he's familiar with Firefly because it was one of the first things brought up on his forums when it was revealed the episodes would be airing out of order, so I wouldn't doubt it.

d'oh, well, R shares many similar (read: vain) traits with T.

I'm still strolling back through Full Moon. I'm actually amazed to find myself halfway through the story and not realizing it --as in: "I've been enjoying all this and so many pages have passed?!" Usually it's "these many pages have passed and the author hasn't gotten to the point yet?!". JB really makes the journey enjoyable. What I read feels like it should be a books first act setup, but the realization that I'm halfway through does nothing to detract from my enjoyment. If that made any sense in a non-negative way. Esplaining takes too long --to sum up: I really love the books.

edited because "vein" is not the same as "vain"

I agree. They have quite a few lines that could be substituted for the other. Though R tends to be more cocky, where T is more of a smartass.

I've been wanting to ask this question for awhile, but I'm not sure where, and I'm not sure those that could answer it would (for spoilery reasons), but do you think we'll ever get to read about another characters perspective when they soulgaze with Harry? I'd think not, since everything's his pov, but it's still possible we'd find out verbally what they saw (which would be *really* interesting after events in Death Masks.) But perhaps storytelling-wise might be like JB shooting himself in the foot.

We get the occaisional hints from people's reactions (Susan passes out, Agent Denton screams about hell, a certain character gets ice water dumped on her head, etc) but nothing definite. I also think (and this has been voiced on Jim's boards by others) that the gazer's own perception figures into what they see. They still see the naked truth about the person, but the imagery is dependant on the one seeing it.

Yeah, I do wonder, if anyone were to soul-gaze Harry after Dead Beat what they would see. Though the person he soul-gazes in Proven Guilty makes no mention of it, and I imagine it would be quite the question to ask. I have a feeling Harry would have to take the next step in that relationship (from DB) for his soul-gaze to change.

which is what makes me really curious, but the perspective of the books makes me doubtful that we'll ever truly know. Perhaps what is left to the imagination is the best?

she says "I didn't know" (or something to that effect), which is vague, could mean a lot of things. Things we already know Elaine, killing Justin, being involved in Susan getting turned, being tortured by various creatures,

or things we don't know as of yet

sweet!

Am I right in thinking Peter can only use one power at a time? As in, can't fly while invisible?

We shall see.

Andi thinks Peter may be becoming Superman, in essence.

It's been mentioned before he's the Anti-Sylar. Absorbing powers without the whole brain thing.

Now if he just got the Little Nicky hair lopped off.

eh? I went to a biblical Samson place Or are we talking aesthetics?

I'm thinking that if Peter had more training, he could use multiple powers at once, but at the present, no.

Probably. Harry repeatedly says he doesn't do much soul-searching. Unless things change where he feels inclined to start, I doubt we'll find out what his soul actually "looks" like.

Some posts from Jim about Soul Gazes: [link]

Basically, according to Jim, the soul-gaze is tied to person witnessing's perceptions, but the overall impression is unchangeable beyond extremely rare circumstances.

However, looking at someone with the Sight is much more mutable and dependant on the target's current state: [link]

sweet!

I'm highly amused. Murphy kicks Molly's invisible ass. And we'll get to see more Butters.

Somehow, I don't think the future is changed already. So that means that scene likely still happens. (Doesn't mean, however, that the vision's not misleading.)

The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.

Obviously you people have not been studying your James Cameron.
