Readers piece together everything that happens through a series of show notes, journal entries, interviews, and transcriptions.

I’m also not a big fan of the final nature of the haunting, but that likely will be something a lot of readers like. So, I can’t say it hurts the novel, just my personal enjoyment of it. Misato thinks that the same "Personality transplant" operating systems used by seventh-generation computers to think for themselves are also in the Evangelions. Misato is rarely in the know, and whether or not she is right or wrong on this issue is an open question: Ritsuko does not answer her, and the question is never brought up again. Fred beat her in front of Offred the last time she had an independent thought. She must’ve known how this crazy rebellion would ultimately go. Sure enough, the poor woman (mustn’t forget she’s a rapist) ends up one finger down on the deal for reading openly from the Bible. Acosta: But isn’t a child a cognizant creation even in the womb? If not, then why is abortion a sin. Out of all the things that Hong-jo has done all over the show, her phone being on silent has annoyed me the most. This character really does not have a fight or flight response and I am sure things won’t change anytime soon. I am worried that the only way to end the curse will be with Sin-yu’s death and the ending makes me wonder if he would even make it after all this.The ending of this episode has me so interested to see what happens next and I can’t wait for episode 14 to drop. The show is now on its last legs and now that both male leads have finally gotten together with their respective partners, it is only time for the ball to drop. The trip is going to be the last good memory between Eun-gyeol, Eun-yu and the rest of the group from 1995. It didn't work for me in either of those cases and it didn't work for me here either. The thing is none of the synopsis indicates this is where these stories would go, so there's no actual way to avoid it. Sorry about it, but it's true.

Episode 13 [2] begins with Ritsuko Akagi completing a routine maintenance test of the Magi supercomputer system, followed soon by an autopilot test [3] for the three Eva pilots. The pilots are supposed to enter simulation bodies [4] without their plug suits and after a thorough disinfection. Nov 20 From the U.S. to Japan, You Can Control the Life-Size Moving Gundam from the Comfort of Your Own Home So let me lead by admitting that I have no idea what's going on with the length of this show at this point. All prior research I'd done into Reign of the Seven Spellblades's run the past few weeks indicated that it was a single- cour affair that would cap off at thirteen episodes, but that's not the case now. Technically, that's for the best. My prior misgivings with the show's choices that brought it to this episode are thus mitigated by the fact that it doesn't have to rush to resolve everything in this entry. So with those pacing problems put aside, surely Seven Spellblades can instead focus on taking a solid next step in this story, right?

Na-yeon gives Sin-yu another chance, asking him to break up with Hong-jo. Speaking of which, Hong-jo is at the park where she recalls her interaction with Sin-yu. She misses him dearly but does not act on it. Just then, Sin-yu calls her to talk about work. The premise of Episode Thirteen is fantastic, gripping, and its style of storytelling is fascinating. I've always enjoyed--and always will--stories that develop through any form of multimedia. But the premise of this book also makes it seem as if this is going to be a nail-biting, scary, fast-paced ride that it simply isn't.

Sound engineers - seriously. If the text says a noise happens, that does not mean you need to insert it. And really, truly: if the text says someone laughs, I do not need to hear the narrator playing that character try to fake laughter. And I never, never need to hear a character sneeze in my ear. Or sigh, grunt, snort, or weep. Or wail. The laughter, especially the first time it happens, was like Data pretending emotion in ST:TNG, and it went on forever. Which leads me to - -

Music Played

That doesn't happen here. The supernatural encounters the team has are strangely dull and their reactions amount to little more than "wow that was cool! We just learned ghosts are real! neat!" so there's just nothing to get invested in. REBA is a star; we were blessed to have her this season! There is no one else who could have played Sunny Barnes! I've read DiLouie in the past with more hits than misses so I was eager to get a copy of this. When I was a teenager I went gaga for these ghost hunting shows even though nothing ever really happens in them but jump scares. Still, this one called to my horror loving heart and I am so happy to say that ultimately it was a success. It starts a little slow to set the scene but I assure you once things start to go bump in the night you'll be eagerly reading and hungry for all the horror DiLouie rains down on you. I definitely felt a nod to House of Leaves and can only assume DiLouie drew inspiration from that. Better days … Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman.

So much, that I am willing to let go of questions like, why are people taking the time to write in journals during these tense and horrifying situations? I really enjoyed this story. I felt immersed in the action and atmosphere. Personally, I was not as immersed in the Matt and Claire relationship and was much more interested in the minor characters. The characters are also really well done. I believed every single one of them and the direction they go in. Using the journal entries from multiple characters we see how they see themselves and the others around them, so while one may see his or herself in a certain way, we don’t question a seemingly out of character action (from their point of view) because others show us another side of them. It makes for a wonderful character study and shows different ways people react to both fear and obsession. And even though I celebrate the over-arching vibe of the book, once we got to the crux of the story, it lost me. It reminded me a lot of both Hide and These Fleeting Shadows.The pilots enter the "simulation plugs" [5], the entry plugs for the simulation bodies kept inside the Pribnow Box [6], while the Magi monitor the data coming off their bodies. While the test proceeds smoothly, Aoba shows Fuyutsuki what look like stains on construction brought in three days previously. Hyuga thinks they are corrosion from trapped air bubbles, and Fuyutsuki reminds them to fix the problem by the next day. So a superlative series comes to an end and, like many I imagine, I hope we never get another instalment. The precision of the plotting, of the character development, has been spot on over the course of six seasons and the satisfaction of watching has been such that I wouldn’t ever want anything else to undo it. No Obi-Wan Kenobi in Albuquerque mini-series for me please. The production: the music is annoying and obtrusive. The fact that the truly cringe-worthy "original song" the foreword touts was used as the Audible sample is a hint, folks. Don't ignore it. (Lyrics which I really should not be preserving: "The groovy people are here" ... "Don't let the man get you down - turn that sad frown upside down" ... "open your heart and lend me your ears" ... Wow. Did Bob Dylan write this?) One thing that continually irked me was a departure from the way this sort of epistolary novel is handled: when a narrator is delivering a journal entry for his character, generally if the journal quotes another character the same narrator handles that dialogue also. Done well, this should provide different points of view on the cast of characters, as each was seen through the others' eyes, and it's a logical way to handle the sections. So: if I'm hearing an entry from Jessica's journal, and she quotes Claire, the same narrator should read all of it, maybe doing an impression of the narrator handling Claire's character, maybe not. It's supposed to be in Jessica's head, through Jessica's eyes and ears. Here, the narrator for Claire jumps in with that bit of dialogue, and it makes no sense to me. The performances: Like the writing, stiff and unrealistic. Sadly, there wasn't a single narrator I ever want to hear again. That fake laughter - which, the first time, went on far too long - was painful - literally like someone reading a script that went "ha ha ha ha ha ha". Most of this book was supposed to be "raw footage" and journal entries, and it all sounded like some poor ten year old forced to read a report on cell division in front of their class. If I came upon a "real" YouTube - or, God forbid, network - show whose characters sounded like these narrators, I'd bail on it before the first commercial. I'm not sure why I gave this audiobook more of a chance, except that I wanted to like it.
