With all the scowling and neutral expressions, a smiling Fireblade will be jarring.

Its like season 1 of Castle all over again.

What? I liked Castle

*pops in to see if he meant this Wednesday*

Maybe next week

The test for me is not so much whether a gizmo is realistically possible, but whether the author has thought through how the technology will affect society... even magic can seem plausible if the system is internally consistent. Its that last bit thats most important to me (my emphasis). I can will...

And people absolutely hate it when anyone disbelieves, dislikes, or hates what they like or believe.

The word is "disappointed"

I am not sure it has any competition... does it? I first found Outsider posted on a forums site, the same site also had postings for other webcomics, and the only one at the time that seemed to rival Outsider was one by Dave Barrack which was only because Barrack trades a worthy story for constant ...

Why let WB ruin it when you can do it yourself right lol?

And be paid well to ruin it, of course

I found this little snippet from the BBC interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/the-myth-of-race/p0957s4f?playlist=made-in-partnership-with-the-open-university Some sound bites: Race as a concept is relatively new (17th century) and only started when we started travelling long distances and...

But a thought that's been nagging at me... just how ruthless do you think the loroi are? Both as individuals and as a collective of people(s). An interesting discussion and reading between the lines it seems to me the Loroi are given a lot of leeway/forgiveness in this thread. Personally I always r...

Alex must know that Humanity is practically useless for combat against any of this crew, so what has Humanity got to offer?

I don't think we know this at all. The likes of Fireblade's TK might give an advantage in bare hand to hand but thats not a fight thats likely to happen.

But then why would Tempo go through the efforts of feeding him images, if she can simply make him do whatever she wants? Imperio! Maybe she can only push someone for so long. But if she feeds Alex these images and he thinks these thoughts are his own? Well then ... no better mind control than to ma...

I'm hoping there is a better reason from the Umiak point of view In my opinion the boss bug previously hinted he/she knew there might be something worth defending in their encounter. I am inclined to think they are also very well aware of "humans" and might not want any alive that they don't control.

“I have already chosen my side. Give me a weapon, and I will fight for you.” This would be my response to the people who saved my life, from the perspective of a military veteran. His role is Diplomat. Any choice he makes he may well be making for his entire species! And of course, he doesn't know ...

I think Jagged knew that.

To be fair I wasn't 100% sure
Blame my dodgy memory

Are they touching helmets to allow safe communication?

No snickering in the back, there!

Looking at this page again, Alex's face in the final panel is my typical "migraine-face" when I start getting vision distortions.
Which probably captures the mood quite nicely

I work in software and we have long talked about iterative software processes being applied to manufacturing.
So its quite exciting to see someone actually doing it!

Keeping a captive Loroi around with any form of strong telepathy would be an unacceptably huge risk GIven they "captured" entire Loroi planets and as we have seen, kept at least some of them as prisoners long enough to tattoo them, I personally think its safe to say the Umiak are fine with keeping ...

My last thought for this page is that if the Umiak have got hold of some Human's and discovered this ability, maybe even started growing their own, this will be very bad news for the Loroi

Right. So it ought to be clear (if we are to assume that the author is not a moron) that this is not what's happening.

Ouch

Imagine what will happen if some Loroi enters a Human mind during the CHIM state!

I doubt it is dissimilar from Loroi males
