I think the phrase “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” works pretty well for this dude.

My advice for Sera: Trust him, but keep an eye on him.

I enjoy A’s artwork and design now and forever, but I’m beginning to suspect that these exposition pieces are my favorite parts. Each character has a distinct voice, but unity of style is maintained.

Even if Merrick is lying, which I don’t think he is, that would still be a good thing for him to replace vogel.

maybe Serea is a pawn in a power play between Merrick and Victor Vogel. Succeeding Where Victor failed may enable Merrick to displace him in the hierarchy.

Meanwhile, the real-life Victor Vogel has himself another freakout. "I'm losing my mind, Charlie! Get me another Cheesecake!"

We’re definitely closing in on the final bit of the first part of the last section before the end. The most critical moment of all!

we may be 3/4+ through, but there’s plenty still to untangle….. we still have *no* idea what the stuff in the diamond mine has to do with anything, for example……

i don’t think we’re really even brushing against the “beginning of the ending” yet; *maybe* we’re closing in on the ending-of-the-part-right-*before*-the-beginning-of-the-ending……. or sumfin’….

Oh, hell, drugs in the tea wouldn’t be effective against a witch. Once she noticed she was getting stoned she’d just magic it out of her bloodstream.

Unless this is one of those crazy-subtle “truth serum”-style drugs, but I don’t think Aaron would use such a ham-handed plot device.

*ahem*

You don’t think that Merrick is terribly happy about having to help Sera, do you? I imagine he believes that she is the only person who can stop the manifestations. Since he also wants to stop the manifestations, they are allies. Not friends, but allies.

There’s just too much going on other than the SSI and Sera’s beef for me to believe that Merrick is just there to join forces and ‘help’. There’s the creepy mine, Rivet-Hed, Skarsdayle, Stilletta, Sera’s cave of remnants…they may very well all be connected, I’m willing to bet they are given the late timing of the arc, but the focus is too narrow to fully buy what Merrick is selling. There’s something he’s not telling.

Merrick is inherently creepy, and that put me off at first. Although I can’t help but harbor a little mistrust, I’m willing to give him credit for being smart enough to see that not all problems can be solved by firepower. Also if I recall, he’s been ‘studying’ her for all this time; I hope that this kind of interest can be used to a positive end.

I also would like to see some back story on Merrick; perhaps by revealing a bit of it to Sera, they can come to a common level of understanding.

By the way, how’s Kelton and Tess?
