POV of Elizabeth, "All of you, do shut up. Can't a Queen change?"

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

...


Elizabeth, "Oh shut up!"

Gibbs' rule number 51--sometimes you're wrong.

I'm keeping you.

It wasn't that anyone didn't want Elizabeth to accept the truce-and-ally. They were just so surprised that the Soul of Steel did, that she hadn't tempered.

It was their sarcastic POV, and Elizabeth knew it, hence her "Oh do shut up!"


My niece always demurely says "But I'm always wrong. Just never rightly wrong."

The point of Gibbs' rule 51 is that you have to recognize that sometimes you are wrong, and accept the truth when you realize you are. My comment was meant to say that Elizabeth did that--accepted the fact that she had been wrong about Haven's current motivations.

Noted. But my point was that everyone was always telling Elizabeth that she was wrong and she always denied that the leopard could ever change its spots. Hence, she mirrored my niece's claim to never be 'rightly wrong.'

I'd like to have the POV of some poor sap trying to muster the courage to ask Abby out.

"Oh my gosh, if she doesn't castrate me, Mateo will! I think I'm gonna be sick." And then he is, all over her uniform. So much for a date.

How about the poor schmuck who asks Abby why Mateo doesn't ask her out, or vice versa. I for one want to know! They could make interesting babushka's don't ya think?

Mateo looks on Abby as a daughter - he would never consider trying to date her.

The POV of the leaders of the camps for the people who stayed on Hades when Honor and company left. They would have had to be informed that they were now going to be responsible for feeding themselves - the escapees were not going to destroy the farms or transport vehicles, but there was going to be no one left to fly there monthly rations out, so it was up to them. And how many of the approximately 150,000 inmates who stayed regretted their decision when it became obvious that in fact Honor and company had succeeded and were going to be leavint.

Totally agree. I touched on it myself.

"Wait, wait ... wait for us!"
