It made me want to see Glaeken take on a rakosh with his sword. I don't know why, but that imagery just popped into my head. For some reason, I just thought "Man, I wish Scar-Lip had guarded the tunnel leading to Rasalom at the end of Nightworld." To my mind, Jack was just about the only regular human (by regular, I mean actually human) who could take one on--he was special. Now Glaeken, with the weapon . . . that'd be an awesome fight. And readers would be giddy when Glaeken noted the scarred lip of the rakoshi he was facing.
Just one of my fanboy wishes; a scene I'd love to see, much in the vein of, say, seeing an X-Men/Spiderman crossover film (since both series of films have been high quality).

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:That's a good point, Nij--what did Scar-Lip do when Nightworld came down? Did he hasten to Central Park to aid his grim master? Very good point!
nijimeijer Wrote:Well, despite Jack mentioning that he thought the Otherness would "disown" Scar-Lip for his behavior, I doubt S-L pulled a Spike (from Buffy). At best, he would simply have registered as a "non-entity" to the hole creatures from Nightworld--they don't mess with him, he doesn't mess with them.

Biggles Wrote:Don't bet on it being Jack. There's no way in the world that he wants to outlive Gia and Vicks. Would you want to outlive the only people you love? That's the curse of immortality (just ask Steve Dalt, right Paul?).
