newnumber6First, New Comic Day!
This week I just got three books:
Runaways #24 (My Pick of the Week, going to be sad to lose BKV and Alphona)
Wisdom #3 (This is more like it, I think I'm going to like this more with the new artist)
X-Factor #16 (interesting, story, a bit predictable in spots, but quite satisfying)
Full reviews up as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Had peanut butter and honey for lunch, since there was no milk for cereal, work was okay.
Dream Foo, in which I apparently dream in a foreign movie!
Anyway, the story focused on a woman who, somehow, was on a military carrier. She'd left home suddenly. Anyway, they were leading the carrier back to her home area, and when they came close to land, they realized that there was nobody in the city. (The city was supposed to be Japan, but I, as an observer, somehow knew it was filmed in Vancouver).
Everybody was gone, and supposedly everybody was gone on the whole continent (oh, and somehow Japan was a continent the size of North America). And it was somewhat sudden - all the power was still working. Anyway, this girl (she never got a name in the dream, but for the sake of typing it out, lets call her Nico) was a scientist and she knew her father was somehow involved. So she first went home to get some of her things, and then went to the facility her father worked in. Since everybody was gone, she got in without trouble, and there was a secret facility underneath, and she was searching her father's office for information about what happened. Suddenly, he surprised her. It was George Takei, damnit! Well, okay, it was just played by him. He was happy to see her because he feared she'd been lost when everyone else was - he didn't know she'd left by this point.
He explained that they were experimenting with time and somehow they wiped out all the people except those who were contained in a special 'time bubble' - that meant Takei and some of his underlings, mostly soldiers.
They got in a fight because (I think, the memory has started to fade) he wanted her to leave again, so she wouldn't potentially be hurt while they tried to reverse it, but she wanted to stay and help. I think the risk was that when they brought everybody back it might erase them all in the process. There was a time jump of indeterminate length, and Nico was talking to one of the soldiers, who was announcing that he loved her (which then cut to a strange 'inside Nico's mind' cutaway scene of a sunny day in a field where she wonders in a monolog whether it could be true).
I should note that all of the conversations, except the ones that took place on the military character, were in Japanese (or dream Japanese, anyway), and subtitled in English (with other asian seeming characters too).
It's interesting to try and piece together the sources for these things. I'm betting the whole japanese language and subtitles comes from Heroes, as well as the father character of course. I _think_ the 'empty world' scenario, although something I think about on a semi-regular basis was sparked by some TV show I was half watching which involved a Sci-fi book called 'Empty Planet'. From what little I was following of the plot the book's title was more metaphorical than literal, but it got me thinking again on the general empty world scenario, and so it filtered into my subconscious for dreamtime.
Also, this will probably be my last post before I start moving. So, if you don't hear from me in a few days, it's probably because I'm busy moving and/or I'm not entirely set up with phone and internet yet. And if you don't hear from me ever again? It's probably because I DIED SOMEHOW, making this last entry retroactively very spooky. (It's like he knew!)
