--- Quote from: ToodleLew on 20 Dec 2017, 16:06 ---Beatrice knows both how difficult Hannelore's childhood was, and how far she has come since maturing and leaving the station. Here's a hypothesis for you: Tilly is not the naive "personal assistant" they put on to be. Instead, Dr. Tilly Birch is a well-trained psychologist involved in an elaborate effort by Beatrice to establish exactly how "well" Hannelore has become. Beatrice, having seen the progress that Hannelore has made since becoming earthbound has requested professional assistance in determining the extent of that progress, leading to an "experiment"; Dr. Birch would pose as an over-eager personal assistant foisted on Hannelore by Beatrice, and (in concert with Beatrice) would "push" Hannelore. How Hannelore reacts to this push would permit Dr. Birch and Beatrice to evaluate Hannelore's stability and resiliancy.

Speaking as a mentally ill person, that's super fucking gross. If Jeph went with that story (and I think he knows better to, but if) I'd actually stop reading.

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 20 Dec 2017, 17:57 ---Note though that Beatrice's immediate response to finding out that whale sharks weren't dangerous to humans was to suggest the Fargo way doing things and feed someone into a wood chipper. Beatrice might not be the competent villain but she's definitely got the psychotic part down pat.
--- End quote ---
Until we actually see one of her wood chipper/volcano/sun-launch victims, I'm going to continue assuming she's all bluster, no blast.
I mean, it's a comedic webcomic. She's a funny caricature of the extreme amoral CEO, but that's all she's ever seemed to be to me.
Spookybot's the closest thing we've had to a legit life-ending villain in QC. That is someone I'd be thinking serious thoughts about re: oh shit what's going to be the fallout from this?
But it's just Beatrice, so nah, not worried.
Perfectly Reasonable:
A day without Tilly is like a day without sunstroke.
But maybe (just maybe) Tilly will justify their existence by putting the finishing move to this arc.
(holding my breath...)

Or in a twist Tilly goes in after Hanners and goes to Bea. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Things didn't go as expected."
Implying there WAS a plan but Hanners going off wasn't part of it.
