Xander/Buffy ,'Help'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
I loved Clare's calm, "I have already have a family" and then plunge through the window, but it also bugged on a technical level. I'm not a structural engineer, but aren't the glass exterior walls of highrises constructed such that one can't sort of fall against them and then plummet to one's death?
Well, the Mythbusters proved a running man could crash through a high-rise window. I can't recall how much of a lunge Claire had to throw herself out the window, though.
Claire ran about 10 feet before jumping at the window. That plus her cheerleader musculature on takeoff might have been more than enough.
Also, the fall seemed to only be about 12 floors, maybe 120-140 ft. Maybe special glass is only required above a certain height.
I wonder if every building in NYC is up to code? If a window hasn't been replaced, and it's just glass, I wonder when codes started calling for safety glass?
Whenever I think of someone jumping out of a building through a window, my mind goes to The Hudsucker Proxy.
I thought Charles's power was magical negritude. It would have been very obvious if Peter began manifesting that power.
Ha! Though I am with DebetEsse in thinking that his power was of the vision/dreams type.
This image from the online comic is excellent.
Did you mean the one from the end of the issue? It seemed to link to just the whole issue.
Did it?
Yes, I meant the one at the end.
Can I just say, for the record, that I am deeply pleased that they're continuing the comic over the summer?
Hopefully there will be spoilers.
I've worked in older NYC buildings that have just plain old glass windows that open and close. Love them.
