Saint James Infirmary 597: Je me souviens

So, the official Quebec motto.  Could be a disaster or the rescue. Odds favor it getting worse here.

When Miriam, who had actual memories of Jakob, entered the dreamscape she went into one of those memories.  When Raven, who had (as far as we know) no prior encounters with Jakob entered the dreamscape she went into a seemingly random memory involving a woman named Ashley.  Reka seemed more like Raven than Miriam.

Danielle looks to be wearing her maid uniform in the dreamscape.  This suggests that she has entered a memory of herself with Jakob.  Wonder if it'll actually be Jakob or Adrian-over-Jakob?

As with any milestone, with number 600 soon, I fear all bets are off

Seeing how normal Erin seems I'm scared that this is going to go down the same route as Heroes. Look at this cool new world changing plot twist that will open up a plethora of new stories we can tell. Lets undo it in the very next episode.
Please Keep evil Adrian around for a while. At least give him some time to cause some irreversible damage. Reluctant Master Adrian was not only unbelievable (Who here would not use the watch to enslave all those girls around him) but is also boring

[jmundt29]

Here again I seem to be on the other side.  I aggressively do not like Evil Adrian and feel that there are a multitude of other Harem Foci and mesmerists and bastards on this site in other excellent comics.  Adrian seems unique to me.  And after something that is both AWESOME and WTF just happened in this installment, to invoke the hackery that Heroes became when evaluating it...that's...*deep breath*...I don't understand the validity or defensibility of such a comparison or analogy.

Furthermore, I don't think the possibility of reversion is past yet.

I thought I'd be dropping in to say "That was awesome!!!!  Wait, what just happened?"  *sigh*

It may just be wishful thinking on my part but it seems to me that from where we are now, 600 is more likely to represent a turn for the "worse" than the better.

[laguna85]

so next week friday look like the 600 issue
Yes  
Please can we have two page and one splash page Please?

Danielle said earlier that the pendant can induce a trance and make suggestions, but cannot make fundamental or permanent changes.  Since all the dreamscape events so far involve the pendant it's plausible that they too can't lead to permanent or fundamental changes.

Now if Danielle shifts to a memory that involves the Watch all bets are off.

I'm still in the camp that's hoping for long term consequences from this incident.

I'm hoping for long-term consequences too, but I hope it's not too morbid. Anyone getting turned permanently mindless would be... morbid. The Reka/Weston/Adrian situation might get complicated; I'm generally not a huge fan of the 'mind controlled to betray their SO" trope, though given the hate-on the rest of the forums seem to have for Weston I imagine that some would greet that happily.

Here's hoping this is a lead-in to Miriam being inducted fully into the harem, though. And the more she is involved with Jacqui the better

given the hate-on the rest of the forums seem to have for Weston

Death of the Author and all that, but I must admit that's always surprised me.

[GodWilling]

Hate is too strong a word for what I feel about him. He's possibly a perfectly decent person. But apart from anything else, he's not a mind controller (as far as we know) and he's in a long-term relationship (it appears). So however much of a swinger he may be, he doesn't really fit snugly in my fantasies. In fact, his swinging makes it worse.

Of course, up to now Adrian hasn't been a mind controller either, and he's kind of in a long-term relationship too. And that may explain my vague antipathy towards him. When Julian is getting a blow job from Patricia, I don't have to think about Julian; I can just dismiss him and concentrate on her because I know he's a bastard. When Adrian's showing how caring he is by bumming the mind-controlled Laura, say, there are all these little dialog boxes appearing in my brain, and they all have to be closed individually.

I can't really say I even dislike Weston. But for whatever reason, I find the thought of his sex life a bit icky.

[Daphne]

Weston's not a swinger. He's poly.

And if you want to hear the difference at length, ask any poly person.

[mns_95125]

I have trouble taking Weston seriously because of the beard, but apart from that I hold no animosity towards him.  He seems like a caring, thoughtful guy in a well-considered polyamourous relationship.
