Glad to see new threads enter the story! So we've got Frances' family coming into the foreground more, as well as Crystal. Dustin and Beau Broke enter the scene, perhaps bringing some Pleasantview characters along with them. Are the LFT adventures, the Grunt-Smith tensions plot, the Frances + Tank romance, the Circe-Vali scheme, the Curious' brothers problems, the government and aliens animosity, the mystery of Bella, plots that will they only touch at the ends? Or will they meet at some point?

Poor Lazlo. The more serious he gets with Crystal the deeper the hole gets. I must admit, he looks smashing in the suit. I think he's the best looking of the Curiouses. I'm glad to get some real Strangetown action for once! But despite Vidcund's non-approval of Crystal, why's he about to walk into a similar hole?

Plus, why's Pascal keeping secret the fact that Nervous is alive? Why can't he tell his brothers, at least? Seems he's being awfully secretive.
