Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yeah. The radio did this thing where "there's been a bombing" and then "she's been wounded" and then, "Whoa, I think she's dead, hold on, we'll waffle about it 20 minutes, yes okay she's really dead."

The Beeb World Service just took over, and they're pretty certain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well, crap. When I turned off the radio, it was still There's Been A Bombing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, may your in-laws be safe. And whoa.

I'm up. Again! Maybe for good this time?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jessica, I hope for everyone's sake that they are ok and get home safely.

I just read the headline. Gah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh.

That's unspeakable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just saw that -- how terrible.

Belated birthday happies for Theo and Jesse. Finally catching up after the Xmas weekend.

Terrible news about Bhutto. And hope all is well with Jessica's relatives.
