Creepy Bud is creepy.

Yeeeeah, creepy, but weirdly rational.

Aw, that's sweet, her mummy is helping her....

(Are you guys sure that's Bud?)

I move fast, BTW.

Creepy and then some. I have a bit of difficulty believing that it is Bud... glowing eyes are bad enough, but I don't think we've ever seen an expression like that on Bud's face before. Serious raised to the tenth power!

We were right, it seems... the Hall of Crystals is a preservatorium, and there's probably a whole lotta people who have had many thousands of years worth of "time out". Makes Scotty's little 75-year hiatus seem like a brief nap on the couch...

I'd bet a few Lanthian pasuzas on it.

(Extra points for knowing where "pazuzas" comes from.)

It's the syllables after "lolla".

No ... that's "palooza".

It comes from a very famous comic, which (like Barney Google) is usually called by the wrong name these days.

(Actually, i think both comics' titles have been officially changed.)

So, the system is equipped with Brandi's Baby Bumping Buffers?

(unngh... that concept alone may be enough to destroy civilizations...)

I have a vague feeling it's from Li'l Abner but I'm probably mistaken.

Nope. Older.

During the Depression, in fact.

Katzenjammer Kids?

I kinda noticed but didn't mention, yesterday - what happened to he cutie mark ... errr ... forehead glyph?

Nope. Kinda moving in the right direction...

Hrmm. Smokey Stover or Hogan's Alley, and that's about it for my olde comick knowledge. Other than Dick Tracy, but it doesn't have the right sound to it.

I can believe it's Bud. If we accept that Monica restored the girls, or Bud at least to the personalities they had prior to being Golemized, then thier past personalities would have had to be different then the ones they have now. Jin has had her pycological issues taken care of and has been restored to near original condition. Bud has been functioning as an eighteen year old girl with a job in "normal" human society.That leaves Brandi to be restored to original condition, at least mentally.

Thoughts; We have confirmation that the crystals are, in fact, the Lathians/Anasasi stored there to save them from an enviormental catastrophe. Lilly found a crystal attachet to the stargate this story arc started at. Lily also says she and other girls woke up alone in the desert with no memory of how they got there. this happened roughly 1000 years after the ecological disaster that forced Brandi to "store" an entire civilization.

My speculation is that someone discovered the storage facilty, or crystals from it, and used other stargates to "unload" the crystals. Lily was "unloaded" along with some others for reasons she and we don't know 5000 yeares ago. Katherine was unloaded some 40 odd years ago, give or take a decade, probably from the crystal Pratt found at the stargate here. Kath would have to have been young enough that she has no memory of her life as an Anasasi.

Thimble Theater

Ring a bell? (No fair googling before you answer.)

I've just been searching for a specific page online and it doesn't seem to be up anywhere...

Just read Boxilars comment and while it makes some sense, If Katherine were a Child released from a crystal 40-odd yrs. ago and grew normally How would she know how to operate the stargate, the transporter, decipher the codes and such? While the guessing is fun, I cannot wait to see what Paul has up his sleeve next. Plus maybe that is Acasia but why don't they remember?

Ya beat me and my Encyclopedia of American Cartoons.

Then again it might not be Bud, it could be a blank golem that hasn't had a full personality imprinted on it yet.
