...Giving Jack Noir a bit more personality and some characters (DD?, CD?) to play off is one of the best moves Andrew's made in recent memory.
...Well, aside from everything involving the Kanpire lately.

He's really been on a roll.

I believe the suggestion is that Kanaya being a Kanpire is why she couldn't look in on future Rose, as she's not quite the same Kanaya. I'm not convinced that matters for the computers/Trollian, though, given all the time things the program's been capable of so far. I am anxious to see what really happens to Rose.

Clearly, if the plan is for Rose to leave the realm of viewing influence that the Troll technology has, then she cannot be viewed by said technology.

About as simple a reason there is.

That still doesn't let me see what happens to her. My favourite human (well, at first) can't just be gone without a word. I require all of the Acts to be finished by tomorrow. Hussie better get on that.

I'm wondering if the prototyping is in any way related to why we haven't seen Jack try to murder Rose yet. Or can we assume that Jasper's influence has been effectively overwritten by now?

Oh, I see.

The only thing to define the Alpha timeline has been that that's the only one Trollian locks on to. Perhaps Rose seeks to screw destiny by leaving the scope of events supposedly chosen by the Alpha timeline. Getting off of Trollian's view is part one. I mean, if she'd created a branching timeline, she still wouldn't vanish from its display.

...I used to interpret Rose's sudden disappearance as a sign that her plan would go awry in such a way that would require her to sacrifice her real self, as opposed to her dream self, in destroying the Green Sun. Then her dreamself would take over, which Kanaya would have difficulty locating.

...Further elaboration into the nature of resurrection via dream-self likely destroyed this theory, as well as the fact that Kanaya loses her ability to contact Rose while Rose is simply sitting around and minding her own business.

I can't say I'd have any particular clue, but even if Rose "dies" anytime soon, I'd highly doubt it'd be a permanent death. She's a major character, and there's a lot unsettled with her.
...It's strange how Jade and Rose have kind of swapped places though; it used to feel as if Jade was the most underdeveloped of the four kids, and now it feels like Jade's being more fully fleshed out (through frequent interactions with Dave and Karkat, her entry into the medium, Jack's newfound Bec-infused love for her, etc.) while Rose really hasn't done anything of consequence, or even really spoken to anyone as of late.

I miss her flirty banter with John and/or Kanaya.

The green sun lies outside of time and space.

I think it's pretty obvious that Trollian wouldn't be able to use crazy time shit to locate someone who is outside of time and space.

Okay getting the evidence that I was actually right about Jack's inability to kill Jade has finally cooled my overheated jets in regards to how annoyed I've been of late. I really do like the moment to take back and see that Jack still has a personality is really a refresher. Also DD is eternally awesome and I always like seeing him.

Locke cole · 02-22-2011, 12:26 AM

Well, I figure she'll rapidly become more releveant as soon as John extricates The Tumor and gives it to her.

Speaking of which, who else thinks that John's Ten Drill is going to end up collapsing the castle around Jack?
