    Good books. I've read all of them, and was slightly disappointed at the end of Raven Rise.

    Do you think Mark and Courtney are dead?

    I don't think so. I mean sure, the way it looks, they are.

    I think the author is gonna pull something out of his ass and wow everyone with it. Just have to wait and see.

    Quartet she be then. No ice cream or chocolate milk for me. Just plain milk, dairy is expensive.

    Edit:
    We could start a new chain. DLR did mess up our combo of win, but, I'm sure we can whip up something new.

    We'll always have the memories guys...

    As to Rostam, no... I don't even have to have read the last two books to know that ain't happening, or at least not in a permanent way. Machale dabbles lightly in the more visceral and nitty gritty stuff, but its still very much a preteen book.

    I'm still a bit shocked about gunny's hand but I figure Machale was trying for a more realistic approach at the time.

    IE The first few minutes of Saving private ryan.

    On a seperate note...

    Don't you just wanna snatch up this work of art. It may be the most Coolio Comic Everz!

    This one makes me lol a little just because I can see a lot of different phrases being added into the bubbles by our /b/ brethren.

    He probably did it on purpose, the bastard.

    As it stands I'll not be surprised if Bobby pulls something out of his ass and WTF PWEND Dane.

    After all Dane has been doing to them through the whole seres, I'd be paranoid as fuck if I was them.

    Haha, Quazi. I've been stupid over her since grade school. It makes me want to make a Pendragon Sig/Ava set. With that quote worked in there somewhere.

    Someone should Fax it to /b/, just to see what kind of lulz it could produce.

    It does seem like he's learning the ways of the force... I mean Travelers. So, if he comes into some cool abilities, I'm all for some wtf pwnage.

    Bobby doesn't really know what to expect from Saint Dane. Each time he faces him, he thinks he begins to understand him more and more. Really, its more like, the entire time, Saint Dane's been trying to get his jollies, while Bobby's just not getting the joke.

    You know, I wouldn't be that torn up if he was to win.

    Although, I'd expect some kind of major rewind scenario in which, he does win, but Bobby goes back in time and goes Terminator on everyone.

    Hasta la Vista, Saint Dane. Yeye.

    Oh no, he's back. QUICK! 50x Post combo, nao!

    You know I was wondering that myself.... All he'd really have to do is go back to first earth add in another note to the bank vault and have it forwarded to himself in the present to correct whatever the hell he wanted. He could totally rewrite history for all of hala and still be playing with in the rules.

    That's what I'd do atleast.

    Stupid preteens

    Courtney and Mark weren't travelers, they can't come back from a collapsed flume. They were just like everyone else. It wouldn't be called the Bronx massacre if each of those people had the chance to come back. I'm sure this isn't the last of them, but I think from now on we are going to see them more as ghostly figures than real people.

    Question:

    Who were you more saddened by, Alder or Patrick?

    yeah... you know if bobby ever does think about it though Machales going to invent some rule to say, yeah it was okay the first time, but doing it more is bad for so and so random reason.

    That's why I'm hoping the series will end with the very next one or the one after that.

    Too much time has gone by for bobby to not have gotten any smarter.

    Edit: They may have not been travelers but one of them had the ring so I'm guessing that'll play into question some how. Besides that replacement traveler for second earth will definitely show up again, and if he could survive so could they.

    Gah! He did it again!

    Raven Rise happens to be the next to last book.

    Pendragon fanfiction is a bit hard to write it would take somebody with skill like Jbern or Nonjon.

    Maybe they become one with the flume? Ghostly images were in it when Bobby was fluming to his next destination. Wouldn't that mean they became part of Halla?

    I still think that they're gonna be alive. Its just a cliff hanger, like the old movies, while Sally may have fallen off the cliff last episode, this episode, she'll survive, to roll out the side of the vehicle.

    Alder. I can't remember the specfics right now, but, Alder.

    Geeze, everyone types so fast...

    Someone needs to spruce up the Pendragon FF. Right now its all Spader/Bobby manlove. Which is a sin. Thats worse than Danny Phantom/ That Jock-guy shit they have on ADFF.

    Really? I was more saddened by Patrick. Alder was a warrior, I felt that he was meant to die. Patrick was nerdy, and confused, and just thrown into this. I think he died a heroes death.

    But isn't a warriors death better than geek death?

    I'd say that Alder > Patrick, seeing how he met Alder first. Someone, enlighten me on whom Patrick is. I forgot...


    Keyboard fu, much strong, indeed.

    Edit: OHH. Right, right.

    Yeah, Alder much cooler than Patrick. Alder lived in a world where the rocks could explode you, and he was a warrior. Patrick lived in a Hippy 3rd Gen Earth. While he may have been a school teacher, you don't get much from him. Alder and Bobby really bonded.

    Doubly agreed. Bobby/Loor, greatest couple evar.

    Where is the third member of our Trio? We need his penguin input.

    He is the traveler from third earth.

    Agreed we need more Loor/Bobby for one thing.

    Nothing like exploding red clay to bind two people to friendship.

    Ya what is your opinion on Pendragon FF Quazi.
