Well, the first thing I have to say is that I liked this whole storyline a
lot...
I first read part one before I knew who Chris Davies was. I liked it, but
the idea of Ukyou as a murdering scum, just didn't sit well with me. So I
hadn't looked for much more of it. Since then, however I have downloaded his
webpage, and enjoyed it. So, when this came out I made a point to reading
it.
I was annoyed, but not terribly surprised by Priss's behavior. She is that
angry, and especially if she had forgotten the ADAMA incident, she would not
want the least bit of anything to do with a boomer... Until and unless it
had proved itself to her. Likewise, Jupiter had it coming to her. I'm not
saying I still didn't want to slap Priss for acting like that, but someone
had to take Mako down a notch or five.
The revelation that Shampoo had been blaming Ukyou for something that wasn't
her fault, and that Ukyou died for misunderstood reasons.. that hurt. As
did Shampoo's back story. Well, done, but still it hurt. I would also have
liked to hear about how Gennosuke had gotten herself into her vampiric state.
(By the way, was it just me, or did anyone else miss the references to the
Dark Crystal and who was the first person to use it? I didn't notice that
until tonight... and I feel very stupid. <grin>)
The revelations about the Juraian royal family were great. You took a match
I had never thought of for Tenchi, and mad it seem obivous. Thanks.
As for the Dirty Pair, the only complaint there is why couldn't you save
Mughi and Nambo, too? Nambo especially, since he's a robot, and would just
need new batteries. <grin>
But overall a wonderful, and well plotted story. Thanks.
