Welp, this has "political fiasco" written all over it.  I'm pretty sure the Court has absolutely no say in the Forest choice of medium, as the headmaster didn't go any further than a suggestion that this may be a poor idea when Annie was first selected.  It'd wouldn't be much of a leap at all to point out that dear old daddy here, due to his position as a teacher, is effectively an agent of the Court, even if he's trading on his authority as a father right now.

Well, Coyote may have been informed and revoked her Mediumship, but I doubt it. There might also be some clause somewhere where a citizen of the Court can't be the Medium for the forest.

I can't even continue reading this.  I just want to punch that guy too badly.   :-\

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Maybe he'd pretend to do it for a laugh.

Alright, so this is what the whole cribbing business is about, presumably. Old Carver wants the girl away from the trees. But why? What is he planning?

Also, and I'm sure others I'm not aware of have erected complete crackpot theory apartment buildings on that suspicion, could it be that the Tony we see here is literally a soulless husk? That he programmed his enormous brain to function like a machine, a Chinese Room, without that ethereal component? That he is all the while using his severed soul to infiltrate the forest or something whatever while his body keeps eating and taking care of menial tasks (child raising, household chores, surgery)? Does being a gunnerkrigg lich have advantages? I don't know. It would tie well into that whole soul transfer business going on, and that theme of disfigure- and dismemberment Carver sr. has.

Hey, first to react to today's post! My summary:

HErssdfoidfhg#$u@(*&(*#%#( YOU #(*%&@@

Ok, now that I've got that over with... anyone else find it odd how sort of accepting she's being of all this? Is it possible he's found a way to suppress the fire-elementalness of her personality? Or is it just parental powers?

I'm betting on parental powers. That or his blank slate face has innate magical properties we don't know about.

Seriously. Fuck this guy.

She's pretty much regressing back to being a little kid with him, since that's how it was when she last saw him. Actually pretty accurate for a lot of people with their parents, even if they never had a break like this.

I'm... sorta feeling we should punch Tom instead. Over the suffering of a fictional character. And for dragging this on and on. LET IT END. LET IT EEEEEND.

Thread title should probably be adjusted to: Gunnerkrigg Court: Anger, anger everywhere!
