But yes, Stevie's going to have tons of… um, fun…<br /><br />David, now that he's settled in, things should start getting interesting!<br /><br />Sonia, I hope he does.<br /><br />Thanks, Katherine. This is one of my favorite comments ever. As far as Zero goes, his true genius might be at getting research grants. ;-) And you really "got it" about Blink's income level and his overwhelmed feeling.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-39679976645029707202015-01-10T13:04:32.764-05:002015-01-10T13:04:32.764-05:00I'm biased because I've already read the w...I'm biased because I've already read the whole story, but even on the first read-through it struck me how this is both a subtle homage and a quiet criticism of X-Men and Spider-Man. Peter Parker's pro-level camera collection was a lot easier to explain away when a careful trip to a pawn shop could net you some very nice, if old, gear -- a lot harder to make plausible now when digital is everything. And for all the fancy setup, Professor Zero seems a lot more practical than Professor X -- you don't have to be a billionaire genius to get an elevator panel with lots of button spaces and do some creative rewiring, but it certainly would be a simple-yet-effective deterrent for unwanted visitors.<br /><br />The iPad Mini is a great detail for the theme -- for someone like Zero or even Captain Heroic, it would be a fair chunk of change, but not something they'd have to think too hard about buying. For someone in Blink's income bracket, though, it really is an overwhelming luxury.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-87593257787266022902015-01-09T18:15:08.618-05:002015-01-09T18:15:08.618-05:00Ohh an iPad!
