** It's probably not a coincidence that so far every Spark who's been able to achieve a [[EnlightenmentSuperpowers second breakthrough]] and gain [[PhysicalGoddess godlike powers]] - [[GodEmperor Queen Albia]], the other "God-Queens" and Lucrezia/Agatha - has been female.

** We now have the answer. Anekiva is in his room, and he is obeying her commands. Sleep!

** ...what are you talking about? [[MsFanservice Zeetha's]] nudity (well, not quite, but whatever) was played for laughs ''twice''. Gil got one in a perfectly logical situation (Mama Gkika's), and then he and Tarvek got a slightly less justified one in the castle. These all lasted about two panels each. Is ''that'' what you mean? Note that my first anime/manga were ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' and ''Anime/{{Witchblade}}'', so I'm desensitized. I literally don't know what you mean.

* A minor quibble, but how did one cup of coffee in Mechanicsburg accomplish CaffeineBulletTime when massive loads of stimulants administered in Sturmhalten(presumably, one of the Moveit formulations) didn't?

** It's worth noting that, although Klaus shut up when ordered to, he then ''started talking without recieveing further orders''. It's possible the wasp died before being able to perform permanent alterations.

** For Tarvek's Morality: He's on whichever side will be best for Tarvek. Wild Card. He likes Agatha. But, at the same time, he looks out for Tarvek. He sides with Lucrezia because she'll kill him otherwise...but realizing that she's insane, promptly betrays her when he can. He'll work for the Wulfenbachs if he has to do it to avoid getting shot...but will promptly betray them if he can get out from under everyone's thumb. His ultimate goal is, presumabely, to end up the one sitting in the throne. Fortunately, he's recognized that Agatha is the heroine...and he LIKES her, so...he's a good guy. And he's not one to unnecessarially kick the dog. (As they put. "He's allied with whoever is listening").

** ? He was probably just a decent scientist as far as non-sparks go (he has a doctorate, after all), even if he would waste his time and ability if left alone to his own devices (seriously, cheese? From chalk?). Consider that he and the others were able to construct Wulfenbach's machine up to a reasonable point, given both the fact that they were normal humans and that the machine was never designed to work. That's probably all the reason Beetle would need to keep him around; he needs a competent person to whom to delegate less important task which didn't require his spark genius.

** Also bear in mind the era we are talking about here. The opinions of the monarch where very important and well respected in our world at that era. I mean you can imagine that a spark could amplify that Royalty to a palpable level. That would also explain why Britain is literally closed to Klaus, absolutely everyone would distrust and report him.

** One of JamesPHogan's books points out that science that works is engineering. Science that doesn't work is bunk. [[InsaneTrollLogic Objectively, that means ]]'''''[[InsaneTrollLogic science does not exist!]]''''' [[IceCreamKoan Hear the sound of one hand clapping!]]

** It finished! And, sure enough, they tied pretty much everything up there...so they could turn the setting on it's head.

* Whenabouts does this actually take place? A lot of our familiar milestones are probably meaningless - most of Europe being ruled by a baron rules out familiar dynasties, sparks ruin eras in thought, the apparently atheistic invocations we see probably rule out Christ, but, for instance, how long has it been since the death of Caesar? Did this world even have Caesar? Charlemagne? Othar's Twitter mentions Voltaire, but he lived much later than the architecture and fashions seem to indicate. Hell, Phil and Kaja coming to our world would almost seems to imply it's been about [[MedievalStasis 2,750 years since the founding of Rome]]...

* Why are Gil and Tarvek completely or nearly useless in this arc? Gil destroyed the main incoming force of a rival military force with two blows. Tarvek has been manipulating the people within Castle Heterodyne, and coordinating a coup on the outside with masterful precision. Once Agatha comes along-to which I hold no fault to her for, mind you-they start getting severely gimped. Tarvek is made useless due to a disease, then Gil. Tarvek is thrown about like a fool by Violetta-which has been actually been at the brunt of my dislike pile as of recent events (To keep a long story short; THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD about the poison, despite them being men of actual chivalry and honor)-and Gil was nearly eaten by a plant. Is anyone else but me getting annoyed at this yet?

* The flashback panel on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050128#.V_6yafArKUk this]] page makes it seem as if the crab clank grabbed Olga's body off the ground. The figure on the receiving end of the death ray on [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20041129#.V_6zFfArKUk this]] page isn't holding the blaster Agatha was holding for the duration of the battle, either. The crab clank did just take a hit to it's main engine, so it was probably flailing about wildly and blasted the first thing it could get a hold of.
* They pulled a cheat. There's a time-skip between the panels.

* LoopholeAbuse: Dimo hasn't been ''healed'' by anyone, just fitted with a prosthetic.

** Dimo is the last remaining general, and everything has gone to hell. HE NEEDS THE ARM![[/folder]]

** About the 'commanding' thing: If Klaus ''was'' infected, he could, if he wanted to fight Lucrezia @ other (that is if the storyline gives him a chance) he could [[CrowningMomentOfFunny wear earmuffs]] (In a world of inventors, earmuffs are ''bound'' to exist, and also they probably be pink and fluffy for irony, and, in Klaus' case, be custom-fitted with custom-mini-weapons designed to work against the other (and practically anyone else).
