whoops! Don’t know why I did that. I think I saw the mistake, but couldn’t change it.

I should certainly hope so. Otherwise, we missed another Canada bit.

That may have been the point. Since it only lasted two weeks and the horrid effects it had on Robin’s relationship, it’s probably meant to imply that it wasn’t worth it.

Ooh, that’s a great point! Jacob had to make him patch things up with Ultra Car, too.

Still, he is someone whose history means he will listen without judging, unlike Amber and Ethan, and that may be what she needs most right now.

I think it would be very difficult to tella more real-time version of that episode, and also keep Robin as sympathetic as she’s been. And the last couple of stories have really depended on getting readers to live in Robin’s head, rather than judge her by her actions. So it’s meant to be a little disorienting, finding out about all this after the fact, because that’s how it is for her.

(A more direct flashback to the relationship-ending argument might be an option, if and when it’s time to shift the sympathetic focus to Leslie– or to Roz, who may have overheard it.)

You can’t really get too detailed about legislation that’s created world peace unless you, yourself, know how to legislate world peace.

I’ll concede the YouTube complaint, but the story still basically works if the YouTube staff suppress the original video: people still make copies and post them elsewhere, the sex tape still becomes news, and Manley and Robin still look for the original on her YouTube account first.

David tends to treat all political matters and entertainment-industry giants as farce in Shortpacked anyway, even when they’re wedded to more serious plots.
