If you were to watch all seven of the Star Wars movies --including credits-- at one time, it would take 15 hours and 27 minutes. Maybe about 17 hours if you figure on some breaks.

Now what order you watch them is up to you...as long as it's not the "Machete Order". Monday will probably hunt you down and hurt you with a machete if you did.

I don't recall that it was ever mentioned that the Alaskan vampires were a different sect of vampires. So this seems like news. On the other hand, the Muffin the Vampire Baker vampires sure seem like purely Buffy parody vampires that are different than any of the three Sluggy original types. I wonder if Pete would count those as a different sect or just discount them as gag vampires.

"It's a feature!"

Ah, Riff, this is why we love you.

I figured he was expecting a satellite that Schlock was involved with to be inflated. But hey, vampires fly without wings and don't need to breathe. Vampires in space seems perfectly logical, as long as they stay in the Earth's shadow. ;-)

Can't tell if Pete's parenthetical on the fourth sect means we will be learning more about them soon, or if the note on "Chapter has nothing to do with Vampires" means it's a throwaway line. If it's the former, I am intrigued as to what their role will be given that the chapter will not focus vampires.

Actually, that raises an interesting question: at what point in the penumbra are vampires safe? The light in that part of the shadow just fades from complete shadow to complete light.

I don't blame Riff for taking the incredibly sharp F.I.D.O. into orbit in the inflatable XT-34, though; it's the only spaceship that they have, and inflatable spaceships are actually surprisingly practical.

That seems a bit complicated for most vamps to pull off (assuming they even can). They would definitely need to be motivated to even make the attempt and I doubt any vamps have connected the dots on hC yet. And the only one who would care (right now) is Urja, because her queen may have died because of the delay caused by Kusari (in reality the Strakoi would have killed her anyway, but let's pretend like Urja might). However, Urja is far too stupid to connect those dots or to execute a plan involving targeting a satellite while flying on a proper path to avoid sunlight.

But since there is no atmosphere, almost any amount of sunlight will be harsher than on earth. I think they'd have to stay in the umbra.

You know, when I first read this, I thought the last frame showed Riff floating out in space, after having popped the XT-34. But apparently not – he's just poked lots of holes and taped them up.
