Man, she is PISSED.

I'm...kinda scared of her.

Check indeed.

Someone's making a chart of that thing's time jumps when this is all over.

So, something occurred to me. If Jade's precognition come from her dream self passing through Skaia, how did she know what would happen after her dream self died? Or at the very least, how did she know John would indeed get the package?

Because she saw the future?

Jack's getting haughty with his newfound powers. The old Jack probably would not have gone in for the ring without first surveying for potential threats.

EDIT: Also, according to Hussie, the Sword is the Royal Deringer (De-Ringer). Though he seems resigned to it being pronounced Derringer. So that makes the weapon that resembles a harpoon-gun (Jade's weapon) Ahab's Crosshairs.

When I first saw this, I was just like 'wut'. But them I thought about it, and now John getting BunnyKind makes a lot more sense.

Also raises the question of who wrote the first letter. Spades Slick perhaps!?!!!111!

Her dream self is dead. She has no apparent window into the future anymore.

Her dream self wasn't seeing her dream self's present. It was seeing her dream self's future--but not all of it.

She saw John receiving the gift through seeing the future in the clouds, but she didn't see her own death, for example.

So while she won't be learning any NEW things about the future, anything her dream self already saw, she already knows.

See, I was thinking Dream Jade didn't have a chance to see much of anything after she got John out of the way, but I guess there could have been some wiggle room.
