History Headscratchers / GunnerkriggCourt

* Also, why on earth would Kat show ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' to Annie and Rey? It's be like showing a war movie to some people ''in the middle of the same kind of war'', including some ominous foreshadowing that [[spoiler: the white wolf will die and the nature-girl will be separated from the one(s) she loves]].

** There's no reason to assume he truly IS impotent. We've only actually seen him twice in action, both when Coyote and the Court convene - Annie has no relationship with him (he's not like a Dumbledore to Harry Potter for example) and thus we don't really get insight into him. In the first one, he didn't really have to do anything; in the second, he shows himself capable of showing the authority he exerts without having to do all that much except make a decision that would rein her in. Annie only gets away from that one in a good way because she's made allies (which I think is meant to be an important point - remember at the start of that arc, Kat was telling her sometimes she makes it hard to be her friend? If this had happened in the previous year, it's unlikely anyone would have defended her), and he wasn't prepared for that gambit (and it's hardly easy to prepare for Coyote). Almost certainly, [[spoiler: Anthony's return was another ploy orchestrated by him and the Court to control her, and possibly him as well]]. Like the rest of the Court over time, he does the worst of his work behind the scenes.

** Surma's soul, or mind; the collection of thoughts and memories and feelings that were unique to her. Normally the soul would also have some amount of spirit/etheric force, but Surma had given that to Annie. It's implied this always happens to [[spoiler: fire elementals when they have offspring]].

* What the heck is [[spoiler: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1049 Kat's etheric form?]]]] I mean literally, what is it? It looks like some kind of armor, but does anyone know the inspiration behind it?

* So, Jeanne's the guardian of the Annan, killing everyone who tries to cross without the bridge or even come down there, even [[spoiler: psychopomps.]] Jones is [[spoiler: an unkillable being that predates just about every known living thing. And indestructible.]] Why don't they just have Parley flash Jones down there and have Jones distract Jeanne? Annie may feel AdultsAreUseless, but she's outright stated she trusts Jones out of all the adults, and Jones herself has essentially said that while she's in the Court, she is not part of it, and she may even be willing to help.

The entire comic starts out with Antimony as the NostalgicNarrator, but that conceit has since been entirely abandoned (unless she has changed to being an omniscient narrator, seeing as we see things happening that she did not witness first-hand). Did we “catch up” with her narration at some point, or should we just chalk this up to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness and ignore it entirely?
