I adored that part.

I was thinking it'd be the other way around, and constantly change patterns relative to magnetic fields around you, until you took it off.

In thinking about it, I think I'd personally prefer (if forced to only slightly modify the gist of these) for it to be Disney Princess Deaths.

I was expecting swing swing swing RELEASE!

So what I'm wondering is if Amber-verse Olivia is just picking up on "Olivia Prime"s memories, or if there was some clean swapover at some point (note that Walter's chromosome test would turn up negative if someone cleanly popped over, and Olivia's trick is being able to pop over)?

There's four universes covered, so far.

Nos comes with a little stand, since he/it doesn't have feet. I really want to crack it open, jam a magnet in there, and work up a base that'll allow it to hover properly.

As per probably "Mutated Vampires", the anime Trinity Blood has a "Krusnik" for a main character, which (in this mythos) is a vampire-like thing that feeds on vampires like vampires feed on humans.

I have the action figure for that one!

True, and the Anitaverse vampires have historically tried to cull out folks with any necromancy tricks, for the same reason the vampires were out to get Marnie's coven in the latest season of True Blood.

As in, one of the keys dropped down on a string in the 2nd episode?

And I really expected the kill-shot to be Monroe hitting the ogre with the poisoned elephant round, thus 'calcifying' the ogre's bones, and then the cop shoots the ogre (with a normal round) that 'just happens' to kill the ogre, now that its bones are brittle and its defenses are down.

[dramatically hyperbolic lie]

I've seen that "manifestation" idea before, with the Ghostbusters Mythos.

That's what I was hoping!

I like to think of the balls as cartoon beehives.

And I can see it working in a hand-wavy fake-technical way?

Before anyone points out how relatively unstable a three-legged harvester would be, and the idea of strip-foresting with acid rain being a bit off, not-Fairyland is in the 5200s, so it's very close to the 51st Century (where K-9, Captain Jack, clockwork robots, and a whole host of "Let's do this silly thing just…

I'm finally getting around to watching this, and I agree about the "sucking the magic out" part.

It's like that whole story about the native Hawaiians being unable to see the ships of the European folks, due to it being so outside of their paradigm.
