Discussion thread for Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess. Beware, Here There be SPOILERS

[hippogrif]

Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Hippogrif.

I think the Popular Theory is going to be pretty close - there was an internal Skifandran threat to the male child of the Queen, whether accepted-cultural, or rival-factional, or just-plain-misunderstanding ( <<< theory most likely, given Zeetha) -- and Chump, against Skifandran cultural habits and anybody's expectations, not only kept him alive but walked him back to Transylvania by himself.

(Quick, somebody say something about Lone Wolf and Cub!)

I don't know if it's likely or not: we simply know too little about Skifander, Zantabraxus, and Zeetha, or any of the major backstory associated with them.

The Popular Theory makes sense, but so would quite a number of others.

Given the tendency towards shoutouts (and then occasionally subverting them), the chance to re-enact Lone Wolf and Cub would be nigh-unto irresistable, I'd think. ;)
