  On Bob valuing Mo above all else: to me this is one of the areas I remind myself about how unreliable our narrator is. It wasn't just about Mo. Bob wasn't thinking too clearly about damage to Mo or their...
• Commented on Book day!
  @Cheiromancer: sorry, somehow left 'potential' out when I threw in the Benthic Treaty. Them down in the deeps always struck me as the unspeakable horror in the next room while the Sleeper was at least down the road (so to...

  Bob got the 'easy' task (airport offices) as he was planning the operations, no? Bob, Johnny and Seph can't be seen by Schiller so can't be at the party; Seph is the expert at infiltration/burglary so gets the apartment; Bob/Johnny...

  I think Mo's shift to the audit group from the operation/executive group puts a ceiling on her pre-TDB abilities. With Lecter she was in operations as a one-woman strike team and valued far above Bob by the organization; if she...

  On an avatar of the BP entering politics, walking in on the transhuman police unit, etc.: the overall tone I get is that it finds it all rather amusing. The Mandate is closer to Alan B'Stard than Cromwell or Robespierre,...

  Iris was never going to trial. To quote the SA: "...it was just for the duration of the COBWEB MAZE wrap-up...". Chris Womack thought Iris had already received her back pay and normal promotions. The SA apologizes to her when...

  It sure looks like Mahogany Row wanted a failover for Angleton, doesn't it? Looks like Mo was aware of the plan to reactivate Iris and some history after the PLAN TITANIC briefings. Hard to see her not reaching the same...

  A thought on the Mandate leveling up between episodes: I can see some sort of 'bedding in' period for the hosts of strange things from the other side of the dark. We see an increase in Bob's effectiveness with the...

  Imagine that both Angleton and Bob are variables I'd go with collections of pointers. Bob started with one in the list referencing 'Bob', Iris added a second referencing 'Eater of Souls'. Angleton had the first pointer removed as part of...

  @Graham I'm not sure we're disagreeing on Bob here. Yes, it's always about the struggle not to eat with the EoS and Bob skips over many subjects he'd rather not think too closely about. But Bob (as he describes himself)...
• Commented on Book day!
  The Laundry doesn't seem to be "designed" at all. It grew will or nil out of a wartime expedient in support of a centuries old Royal charge to defend the realm against occult attack. Very much this, and we've now...
