Vendetta #369
POP OF THE NIGHT:
Going to give this to bits and pieces 2, I was already loving the fear and sprialing of CJ Thorpe as it's been so different from his normal self but now we see how much of a stranglehold Redgrave really has on Thorpe especially with these boxes and his reaction to Cade trying to interfere. I'm really intrigued to see where it goes from here.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What's in those boxes and how many are there going to be?
What does Nox have planned next?
Speaking of plans, what is Arcadia's?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
This has been an interesting way to see Narcissa, more of the planning side than her raw emotional side. I am definitely curious about what Zeus is going to do to Mr. Sunshine and what's going to happen for Gemini in all this?
POP OF THE NIGHT:
COLOUR WHEEL
Even right from the moment we see Foley wake up and Nox inserted into that scene, the effects of that gas and Foley's resistance to having his mind messed with again. It's just simply the Nox that we need to see here. Right down to the fact that he wants him lucid.
Man, I love Nox. I love writing for him creatively (not that I am here, picking my own segment would be one hell of a self-high five), and I love reading the direction that others do too. This version of Nox, with the power he now has behind him is simply scary as all hell.
Good to see the writer also spelling colour properly.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What are in the damned boxes?
Is Thorpe going to be able to ever see eye to eye with Cade again?
What is next on Nox's list?
What does Captain Arcadia have planned for the disciples next... and subsequently, Graves?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
I'm really enjoying the storyline here. The writing for Helpless was just so brilliantly done - emotional, touching and very raw humanity. I loved the insertion of the barkeep as someone for EMM to pour his heart into.
Then we see this paralleled by Sunshine being the shoulder for Gemini to pour her heart into as well. A really nicely done story.
I think this show was set up really well too, from the beginning segment that then came to fruition in the match against Tombstone. It's really an intimidating force to be going into Forces of Darkness against. Gulp!
All in all, I merely tip my hat to the writer. Brilliantly capturing all characters.
POP OF THE NIGHT:
Giving this to Helpless. I wasn't going into this segment feeling terrible for the Mariachi after all that he's done, but after reading it, I definitely ended up thinking like that. This is a man that had everything taken away from him after he betrayed his friends and master to keep Zeus's secret safe, and now that some things are out in the open thanks to Paragon, he's pretty much lost everything. Seeing him resolve himself to at least go down swinging is an honorable thing to do, even if he might not have anyone in his corner to fight by his side. I'm wondering just what will happen when it comes time for him and the House to fight. Hopefully something good comes out of it and he's able to reconcile with Gemini, but I think that's me being too hopeful.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What exactly is in those boxes that's causing CJ to fear Redgrave when he previously hadn't before? Is it actually what we think it is, or is it something that requires far more context than we're given?
Will Muerte go into the fight against the House of Judgement alone? Will Gemini and Sunshine be there to back him up and prevent an absolute mauling? Would it matter if he had partners in this fight or not?
What does Nox have planned for poor Foley and not so poor Hatchet? Why does he need the Juggalo compliant for what's to come and why does he need Felix not scratching himself raw? I can only imagine what sadistic trial he'll put the Puppetmaster through at Forces of Darkness.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
TBM - Nothing to say here since he didn't appear on the show in any capacity.
Calypso - Well color me shocked that Calypso was a key factor in helping her team score the W. Thought she would've been the one knocked out of the ring like Gravedigger and Narcissa were early on, but the push is nice. Not a whole lot else to say here other than that I'm glad she got to speak in the segment too. That was nice after having her be a silent enforcer type for every segment she appeared in after the attempted wedding.
POP OF THE NIGHT: Love Untethered
This storyline has me hooked week in and week out. I’m really enjoying how Aurora perseveres through everything. It’s segments and storylines like these that help readers get invested in OSW talent.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
• How many more will experience Nox’s gas? And who’s next?
• How will the Roland Gray and Savor story unfold with everything that happened OOC with Roland?
• How will Gravedigger react if Malakai hurts Aurora?
• What is in the box?! Haha, are there more boxes?
• How much more violence will Ezekiel Graves’ Disciples unleash?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
First of all, I want to apologize for not getting my feedback up sooner these past two weeks. I’ll do better. It’s not fair to the team for me to slack off when there’s so much hard work put into these shows.
It was tough not to RP for the week since I’ve been super addicted to writing here, but I really appreciated the rest period. Even with the week off, it was awesome that my guy was still part of the show.
I love the direction Ezekiel Graves’ Disciples are taking. Words can’t describe how much I love this. It’s such a cool direction for Graves, and I love that my character has a following in OSW. The future feels wide open for this, and I’m here for it.
To Captain Arcadia: I’m super pumped to work with you and to tell this badass story together.
It’s all positive from me. Each week that goes by, I’m surprised and thankful. I never thought I’d have such an entertaining role here in OSW. Once again, thank you all!
