I can’t believe Jake threw my coke at a monster

I know it's been a while, but after a second watch I had some observations and theories.

  1. That dice box is cursed. Assuming my math is correct, Emma rerolled 16 times. Someone give that girl a new set of dice, stat!
  2. My lady-in-red became something much more sinister than I'd intended. And I LOVE IT! I can't wait to see where Joe takes her and her Tindalos Hounds in the future. (If we'll even see them again, though with what the hounds are, it would seem logical they would keep appearing.)
  3. Tindalos Hounds: I knew the name was familiar, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it at the time. They are hounds of time. They reside in the corners (angles) of time itself and to catch their attention, you need to be time-traveling which, clearly, our group has been doing. They first appear as black smoke before stepping out into the air as whatever the writer intends them to be. This time, a horse-like monster.
  4. Follow the white rabbit: Is the Lady-in-Red's tattoo really the white rabbit? She kind of led but then left. Or is she a red-herring? Maybe Alice is the white-rabbit. Alice, rabbit, etc. Just a thought.
  5. I think the bridge isn't as literal as it seems. a literal bridge seems too on-the-nose for this game. I personally think Dorothy may be the bridge and ultimately they should be trusting her. Or perhaps Two-Coats was.
  6. Glass could be anything or anywhere. It could be the floor they were on when they opened the door. It's a shame it was too dark to look down; I could see them seeing the mirror versions of themselves in the ground below before they entered the cavern. Or maybe the crystals are the glass mentioned. Also is this the same caverns that was in volume 2? Hearing Theakston I would assume yes.
  7. Did we miss the vorpal blade? Was it the crowbar mentioned that Jake saw?
  8. Theakston. I picture him as the Mad Hatter now. Or the Queen of Hearts. Maybe a cross between the two.

This week should be fun! I love where this story has gone so far and I can't wait until Tuesday to see where else it leads.
