Welp, I would'a liked more DivineKat, but this is ok. I like how each sentence gets shorter.

Where's Rey? I call it: on the next page, Rey appears, says "good job, Antimony" and hugs her.

Is it over? Seraphs have seen humans destroy them, their "creator" never want to see them again, etc... seeds of war rather than peace.

From seraphs perspective in last few pages
Paz - a gloat when they are down
Kat - no willingness to hear what Seraph had to say
Kat - angry destruction of what was made
Kat - "I don't want to see you again"
This reminds me of how Diego was rejected in very angry way and what it did to him. World War 1 end treatment of the losers helped create World War 2. We have a powerful and motivated/crazy faction that badly wanted something to go to all this trouble now motivated even more, easy for them to become crazier, for example they might blame Paz as corrupting the creator. After seeing their own kind destroyed they might have less qualms about destroying humans.
(IMO the kids are making a mistake in at least not listening to the seraphs to figure out why they are acting so crazy/reckless and look for a long term solution that doesn't involve Seraphs acting even crazier)

From seraphs perspective in last few pages Paz - a gloat when they are down Kat - no willingness to hear what Seraph had to say Kat - angry destruction of what was made Kat - "I don't want to see you again" Reminds me of how Diego was rejected in very angry way and what it did to him. That's a valid point. I suppose it depends on whether they see themselves as the aggressor, or are even capable of doing so. Most people back down upon the failure of their schemes if they know that their scheme is viewed as wrong by society at large. I wonder if the seraphs will do the same, of if they see their quest as too important to robotkind (or other reasons) to abandon, or think that even if their quest is less important, they have some sort of divine mandate or manifest destiny attitude that allows them to pursue their own goals, without paying attention to normal societal norms,(if they are even aware of societal norms.) due to protection from a higher power or higher directive/goal (such as the good of robotkind) Maybe they are robot enough that they aren't offended or angry, just disappointed, although that seems unlikely. [/ramble] I don't know how much of that is relevant or made sense. Goodnight! |

(Said this in the comment box, only to realize that the comments don't save between pages)
I'm very uncomfortable with this resolution (at least, what I've seen of it so far). It's true, Boat was doing some pretty heinous acts, but as far as I can tell he never intended to hurt anyone - All he wanted was to find love in the only way he believed he could.
And now he's dead. And the protagonists are celebrating.
Was there something I missed? Some justification for declaring him a complete villain that I didn't see? Because right now I'm really reluctant to go on watching everyone act like they did no wrong.

Any bets on the appearance of the End of Chapter sign in immediate future? It looks like we're wrapping up this chapter.

Anyone feel like we've crossed the 20% mark? Feels more like 10%. This seems like about a tenth of a good GKC chapter. |

....;Most people back down upon the failure of their schemes if they know that their scheme is viewed as wrong by society at large. ...Maybe they are robot enough that they aren't offended or angry, just disappointed, although that seems unlikely. ! Their brother has strong friendship with shadow, crazy robot religion ideas about Kat. Their ship ally went a lot of trouble over a "crush", with their help. I would expect they would have known in advance society at large would put up resistance, or they would have simply asked nicely rather than tried to force their scheme. To me they feel like wounded animal in a corner now, their "brother" was turned into paper clips and brain stuck in prison before he was rescued by Annie. |

Humans are not perfect, just like forest creatures, robots, etc. Part of story of Renard is how he acted in a way that he later regrets, similar with Annie (temper, revenge on Jack, etc). Humans get angry. One of best scenes in Star Trek the original series: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvDAHmQ1_tw |

I love it. Usually the horrible realisation that all the people you know are couples doesn't come until your late 20s.

And the protagonists are celebrating. Was there something I missed? Some justification for declaring him a complete villain that I didn't see? Because right now I'm really reluctant to go on watching everyone act like they did no wrong. It's pretty clear that the way the boat was going about finding "love" was going to result in the deaths and or serious emotional trauma of at least some students, and the definition of "love" you're talking about is pretty tenuous. A better description is self-centeredness masquerading as love. Attempted murder, as an incidental to trying to get what you want (without considering anyone besides yourself) puts a person pretty squarely in the "villain" category. Every villain (or good villain, at least) has justification for why they do what they do. It doesn't make them any less villainous. It just makes them more relatable. To put it in perspective, if someone tried to destroy the Qa'aba (Mecca) or the Temple Mount (Jerusalem) in the name of God, and didn't worry about the casualties that would result, we would pretty clearly categorize them as a villain. He's made love into his god, and that's just as dangerous a perspective as what I describe above, (though much more socially acceptable in our culture). |

I don't think boat is dead, Kat was just destroying the body she made for it That was my thoughts too, presumably his CPU is still in the boat somewhere. Unless that was one of the first things to be transformed. Also I like how Tom doesn't always take everything so seriously and can put in that last panel to make us laugh at the end of a serious chapter. |
