    Right through the wall!

    (Wonder if there’s anyone here who used to go to Disclave…)

        nah, that’s just the reach of Bud’s arms. If she had let go or otherwise just PUSHED her then May would have gone MUCH further, as it is Bud wants her close enough to continue the thrashing, that is until she got interrupted by the “I’m cold” statement.

      Good question. Just who is in control of Jin’s body now and does she look like Jin or Crispy? Of course she may look like she’s made of clay still as well, thus the cold.

            Season 1, episodes 9 & 10, i think.

            Jay-Em: The creepiest part of Blink was the ten seconds or so at the very end, after the story is over, that shows quick stills of what must be every stone or concrete angel in Cardiff…

            It’s gotta be–she feels cold. And Bud was trying to boot May through the wall, until she was stopped cold. . . .

            Reminds me of one of my more successful puns. A couple of us were walking across a college parking lot one winter day about ten years back, and we saw a well-trodden floppy disk on the snowy ground. I remarked that someone was obviously looking for a cold boot. . . .

      Oh this qualifies as a cliffhanger. We have the what does she look like, is she Jin anymore, and how can she feel cold. That is allot of angst laden thinking for the weekend to me. I am still betting on Alan being a key component to a full Jin reboot, but I am a romantic at heart.

        The Chimera was created from emotion. Specifically, the Lanthians tried to capture the raw and broken emotions of the girls so they could control it.

        I suppose it stands then the the GG’s carry a lot of that emotion after they were split.

            The artifact isn’t a golem. We don’t know what all Monica knew about it, but she knew enough to be cautious. She also knew that Maya tended to make mistakes. She could hopefully at least ask intelligent questions and help Maya think things through.

            I would agree with what you said about Brandi if she had remained the way she seemed to be in the calendar machine arc, but she didn’t. Since then, she’s been turned into an airhead who has shown no interest in helping Jin.

            One more thing. Jin is intelligent and she went to Monica for help. There were no signs that she even talked to her mother about it. There are probably reasons why she did that. I don’t think Bud should be ignoring Jin’s choice.

            But still, why would Bud slam Maya into a wall and say “Wrong answer” when Maja finally gave her a good answer after it was OK for Maja to not answer Bud’s questions while they were still at Maja’s house? If questioning Maya back then wasn’t working, why wouldn’t she have gotten help?

            We are talking about the same Monica who had Shelly hold the artifact shortly after learning of it, sending her on an 80K year exile, aren’t we? The same Monica who just reached out and tried to grab it from Bud without a second thought? That careful and cautious Monica?

            ^ Still, Sowhyme, you can hardly blame Monica for that first one–why would she have any inkling that the device would to that to Shelly. I mean, I rarely worry too much about odd things that I pick up sending one of my friends off to never-never land if they hold it. Maybe I should start?

          This scene is revealing much more about May than Bud. May could shut Strawberry down with a word, literally. But instead she values how far she has come, to the point of taking the abuse from her unthinking fury.

          A dangerous balance. At what point is Bud’s free will less important than accomplishing Jin’s recovery?

          Certainly giving old Ike Asimov a run for his money.

          Well, I think she became un-deactivated somehow and that probably isn’t good, but I don’t know how it’s bad yet. What I meant was that I don’t think she had shown signs of being hurt at the time Bud was reacting.

          I think Maya meant to turn her into clay, fix her that way, then reactivate her. I think that was really the normal way of doing it. Remember that Tepoz was in his clay form when Monica found him and it didn’t hurt him.

    You just knew that Bud was gonna react without listening. She has always been the emotional/romantic of the GG’s. (Of course that is not counting the above mentioned time that Brandi took the mantel when she thought Bud was lost to the Demon Dimension. But that was her motherly instincts in overdrive.)

    yknow the thing which will annoy people the most is being kept out of loops/not being told things.

    If May had explained this all to Bud before they even started Bud would have been expecting it.
    But no … secrets again.
    Then again.
    I wonder if it is too dangerous for a Golem to know how it works itself. Even Tepoz doesn’t know much about himself in that respect.
    Still May herself is a Golem now which sort of kills that theory but well, she created the Golems also which might mean it wouldn’t be as dangerous for her to know about herself…or she erased some of her memory on somethings.

      It’s likely that May didn’t fully explain to Bud what she was going to do because Bud would have not understood accurtely what was going to happen, so would have tried to either stop it, or question May indefinitely. Just a hunch…

          Yeah. After a while you start just doing it, because you know that it would take too long to get a non-techie-type up to speed on what and why.

          Kinda like how when a friend and i were coming home from an SF convention and i forgot i was still wearing a button i’d bought.

          I was standing at the cash register in a cafeteria-type place we’d stopped to eat at, and i realised that the cashier was staring at my button, reading it, then looking up at me in a puzzled manner.

          I said “It’s a computer joke. It would take more time and effort to explain it than either one of us would want to put into it.”

          It said:

          Shift to the left
          Shift to the right
          Pop up
          Push down
          Byte byte byte!

        Or maybe it was just so obvious to her that she didn’t realize that Bud didn’t already know.

      Paula, I think Tepoz didn’t know how to create a golem, but he knew how to work with them once they were created. IIRC, he was the person who gave the GGGs their personalities back.

      The whole week it’s been bugging me that Bud and Maya didn’t involve Monica in this. After all, it’s Monica that Jin went to for help and it’s Monica who knew enough to look for the artifact. She would have been more likely to ask the right questions of Maya. It’s also been bugging me that Bud went from being all worried about doing it to “Hell, why not?”

        In consideration of friendship, perhaps Monica should have been included. But really, anything Monica knows that can control golems she learned from May. I can’t think of anything where Mon would be expected to be better at this than May herself.

        However.

        Has Bud mentioned to May that the banshee-like “warning program” Monica saw when she first touched the Relic looked like Jin?

        That could prove to be rather important.

          I agree that Monica would not know much about golems, but Monica might know things about the device that Maya didn’t know. She at least knew there were reasons to be cautious about it, even before Bud found it. Monica also knew that Maya tended to make mistakes, so she would hopefully make sure that Maya thought things through before hand.

      I can’t even begin to think of where the reference is but it was explained one time that May offered the Lanthians the secret of how to make a golem and then offered herself as a test subject.

      She wanted to become a golem so she could destroy the Calendar Machine but the Lanthians still had the recipe for making more golems and made the Chimera.

        It would appear Maya has a bad habit of not thinking through the possible consequences of her actions. She created the Calendar Machine to help Jin, she wound up giving enormous power to a group of murderous tyrants. She developed Golem technology to get the CM out of their hands, and while that succeeded, she gave them the means by doing so to create the Chimera. She attempted to destroy the CM, and put the galaxy in an endlessly repeating time loop. Hopefully thousands of thousands of years in the Demon Realm taught her she needs to look at the Big Picture before doing something…

      Based on May’s posture, wouldn’t the opening have been near Jin’s sternum (or golem-equivalent)? …and, now that I reflect for a moment, that’d put Wolf in the pink :)

        But, no matter where it goes it, where it ends depends on how far up it’s pushed. It looked like her arms were going pretty deep and at a good upwards (anterior) angle.

    Everybody join in!

    I have a little golem
    I made her out of clay
    And when she’s dry and ready
    With golem I shall play

    CHORUS

    Oh golem golem golem
    I made her out of clay
    And when she’s dry and ready
    With golem I shall play

    She has a lovely body
    With legs so short and thin
    And when she goes so buggi
    She drools and threatens to blow the world up!

    CHORUS

    My golem’s always playful
    She loves to dance and spin
    A happy game with golem
    Come play now, let’s begin!

    CHORUS

    Given how Monica, Shelly, and Doubt have looked the same way in the past (Doubt at will, the former 2 post-hangover), I just assumed the gray skin thing was more artistic symbolism.

      She didn’t do anything to Maya. Maya is indestructible. She did something to Jin’s walls, though. :lol:

      If Bud was reacting to anything to do with Maya, it was the worried look on Maya’s face when she heard Jin. It’s impossible to tell if that was what Maya was actually reacting to, though.

    I wonder if the “cold” thing could mean Jin has gotten her wish and is now human again with human’s senses, frailties, and life span? It could be the treatment was more than simply fixing Jin’s time-shift problems.

    That look on their face isin’t one of any joy but surprise and a little scared. Wonder if the one saying she was cold was from a little girl that was flame-grafted onto the chimera.
