Don't despair Elveen, I'm from the same generation :)

I must have spilled at least one for Blair :thumb:

It's good story.

It's still 10 episodes away..... But it's a huge milestone I'm really looking forward to.

Any plans for a #0 episode?

Love the new episode! I thought of one interesting thing concerning this episodes talk of Harbinger #7. Flamingo had been using the power of her beauty to influence people. Now, when she embraces her fire power, it destroys her beauty! That is very different from the original Flamingo. I don't remember her ever being burned by her own fire in the past. I'm sure she'll heal of course, but I find it interesting that her now power (fire) destroys her old power (beauty), at least temporarily. I can't define exactly why I think this is cool, but there's a nugget there which tweaks my interest. Maybe it's the choice: "You can have this power over people, OR you can have this power over people, but not both."

If her power keeps burning her every time, it becomes an interesting choice to be made for someone that has grown accustomed to using beauty as a weapon.

That's pretty interesting, something I hadn't thought of. It is similar to Faith, in a way, who was big and heavy, and is now as light as a feather, which Josh Dysart is fond of pointing out. There's some poetic irony going on with some of these characters.

You're right. He does point that out often. I wonder if, in the real world, being able to float/fly like that would end up making Faith get fatter? Not exercising the body even by walking anymore? Just kinda faking it and making it look like she's walking? Or go the opposite way and decide that now that she's a super-hero she should look the part and might start working out more than she would have before? Probably won't change one way or the other in the comic. She's supposed to be the big flying girl so I doubt that they'll change that paradigm.

Good insightful observations, guys :thumb:

Ultimately with Faith, I think the most important thing is that her self confidence is probably 'soaring' with her new psiot ability... So her self image has received a huge boost. Whether that ends up changing how she treats her body remains to be seen. She doesn't need to feel compelled to change her looks, but that positive boost to her ego may lead her to decide to eat less if she was doing so for negative emotional reasons.

Or now that they are going to be renegades, on the run from the law and Harada, there won't be as much lying around or easy meals for any of them. That may cause some weight loss for Faith as well. We'll see. (Not that I'm suggesting that she SHOULD lose weight or NEEDS to for any reason!)
