I can't think of much to say about this page. I have to say that I was glad to have Alex back in the story. He's a fun character, but I'm afraid I torment him too much given how he actually tries to avoid the trouble he's dragged into.

ghostrunner: The position off a colossal @$$ is usually taking up the rear.

amanda: I guess Raidon can't help himself. He just has sinister "vibes." (But he is talented at lying with a straight face.)

patrick: Don't we all….

Peipei: Raidon has you under his spell, eh? He's good at that.

Tantz: Unlikely. XD

trevoramueller: Homeward Bound (the recent version) is exactly the type of thing I hate. It offends me as a biologist and animal lover to see human thoughts put into the heads of animals. If it was exactly the same movie with no voice-overs (like the original Homeward Bound), it'd be better but not great – because they are still given human thoughts and characteristics.

If you want a human-thinking animal without being cheesy, one trick you can use is just make it a person who was magically or scientifically transformed. That's how Case Closed got an adorable child to be a brilliant detective. (And why I love The Cat from Outer Space.) But it is fun to include animals that actually act and think like animals in a story. I wish more people did that.

LanceDanger: I'm enjoying myself so far. Thanks.
