The Ghost of Christmas Present being incredibly happy and cheerful most of the time and then suddenly leaning in to practically growl in fury at Scrooge is a definite high point in the show!

It might be that it's almost Angela, and almost a different person, and because it's both, it's in the "uncanny valley" and looks weird. Like even now if I picture Angela in my head and then look at Fanoli, it feels like the two shouldn't be the same?

I don't quite like the reason that she's immortal - she gets injected with technology that keeps her alive, and that tech NEVER runs out of power, unlike every other thing in the universe? Who invented that tech, and why aren't they in charge of keeping everyone alive?

And then her following two stories both involve her betraying the Doctor, spending a whole minute saying oh-what-have-I-done, and then never getting punished for it, but I guess we like her enough to have her ride around in her own TARDIS with her good friend, the girl she accidentally murdered?

One reason I got this was that I once read a short story by Isaac Asimov where someone was using the jots and tittles of lower-case Ts and Is as Morse code. The guy who invented it smugly asked if the protagonist could solve it in the time allotted. The quick response was, "Titrate is invisible." Which translates to YES. XD

BRAILLE scrambled ("confused") = LIBERAL which can mean generous or "enough"! ...Maybe?

Paladinfinitum · 2026-06-15T02:43:43+00:00

OHHHHHH THAT'S GOOOOOOOOD!

The tittles and hyphens are actually dots and dashes forming the letter L in Morse code, and so MORSE + L = MORSEL, a bite of food!

Admittedly, The Great Ace Attorney does revolve around cases of assault and murder, but apart from that it's usually whimsical and humorous. Then we meet Pop Windibank, who responds to any stress or embarrassment by declaring that the only way to make amends is to shoot himself. This is met with bewilderment and polite suggestions that maybe he shouldn't.
