"I want to know how he fits all that stuff in there without having any unsightly bulges in his suit. "

He's really a T100--he has compartments in his torso that hold various things and then close up nicely, skin and all. Bahaha, just kidding. I've wondered that too. Especially the part in CoC where he conceals the human skull in the suit--how the heck did he do that?? ....Magic!

The thing that got me interested in the idea of a badass foot chase is towards the beginning of Quantum of Solace (and normally I don't watch anything Bond, but I was at someone else's house)--they had a rad foot chase towards the beginning that was just awesome to watch. It would be equally awesome to read one.

"White Hunter"--LMAO!

Yeah, she's cool that way. She's definitely one of the more human characters. Her and Vinnie most of all I think.

I want to see Pendergast in Seattle or Portland, admittedly partly due to the fact that I know those areas and it would be cool. Plus it would 100% new territory for the authors to play around with. And I'd love to see them write all the weather here. Maybe we could see Pendergast go diving in Foster Lake looking for evidence (you know there was a drug ring around there, and they found a body in the lake a few years back, killed execution style, all wrapped up in garbage bags and weighted down--majorly creepy).

Another thing I'd like to see in the future is for the writers to bring Skip Kelly into a more prominent role. I liked Skip, I think he could be good. And it would be funny to see him react to Pendergast.

I think the beauty of Skip's character is that he was helped out of a deep trench during his whole slump in Thunderhead when his sister bailed him out. Having this kind of history really could translate into writing the character as being remarkably compassionate, which I think the books need. Someone who's not especially cynical, who knows what it feels like to be down and out and depressed and so forth, who could really relate to people that may appear in future books with a difficult life or history that most of the other characters wouldn't understand. I think Pendergast is compassionate in that he genuinely respects and values all human life, but he doesn't relate to people of certain social standings (he himself admits this), and D'Agosta has just had so many run-ins as a cop that he's painfully cynical and impatient with everyone. The ladies are too busy with their careers to really consider other lifestyles outside their own (I mean this in a respectful way that is flattering to their character, not as a way of demeaning them--they are good characters all). Skip could really blaze a fresh trail that the books haven't seen yet. He could be a very philanthropic character.

It was one of these babies:



That's another cool thing about his character--he comes with a dog!

Teddy Bear, yup!
