Appendix 1 attempts to re-write quantum mechanics with a lot of hand waving and blatant ignorance. Anyone with any passing knowledge would experience the same headache I’m suffering right now.

ThuleDammed It, there are bloody Appendixes?

Of all the bat-s**t crazy stunts Kira pulled off in the previous few hundred pages, jumping off of a hi-tech but essentially glorified TRAIN was your go-to for most exciting, Trig? She used a fission bomb as a HAND WEAPON for Thule’s sake!

Oh no you didn’t. You just ripped off a line from the Matrix??? Why am I reading this garbage?

Chris now has Kira web-slinging her way thru space. He isn’t even pretending to convince us that the xeno is anything other than a knock-off Venom symbiote. Also, the amount of damage Kira is able to shrug off, and we are talking about RAILGUN rounds, is just leaving the outskirts of incredulity and blindly teetering into Toontown.

Wait a second. Tentacles have BONES?!?! I don’t think that’s right, I mean other than the affront to literature that this novel represents. Tentacles mean invertebrate. And that means no bloody bones. Can’t break what ain’t there, Hwa-jung.

SPOILERS
Ok, the Maw just showed up. Any bets on how Kira’s darkest secret will be revealed and she will collapse in a pile of tears and just as she knows deep in her loins that she is utterly pitiful, the crew joins together in a spontaneous act of logic-bending forgiveness and reaffirms that Kira, you are a strong and powerful woman and who else could be the bestest BBF for Soft Blade, except you, of course.

Sparrow…can speak Spanish?

“Who wants fried calamari?” as your war cry, Sparrow? For goodness sake, one of those aliens is ON YOUR SHIP.

Dinner’s gonna be awkward.

I’m thinking Kira will need a chiropractor soon if she keeps on lifting her chin so dramatically.
