Aww... Love that Kevin literally took a bullet for Nick! I can just imagine how hard it's going to be for all the other agents to cope with JC's death even though he was annoying. It'll be interesting to see how this affects HimTak as a whole.
Author's Response: We thought this was a good episode to show the father/son-like relationship Kevin and Nick have, like in real life. Nick may drive Kevin nuts, but Kevin would still do anything to protect him. Thanks for your reviews for this episode, Mel; we appreciate it, and we're glad you liked this one!

Wow.... Very dramatic chapter. I can't believe that Justin killed JC like that. Prince Charming falling to his death from Cinderella castle has sort of an ironic twist to it.
I really loved this line for some reason : "Justin was dead, and Nick had killed him. Jewel had presided over the death. Pearl had refused to resurrect him. K had buried him. Now, only Drums remained. "
Oh yea and technically the roller coaster is called BIG Thunder Mountain Railroad, but I am loving how you are integrating the attractions into this chapter.
Author's Response: You know, I (Rose) hadn't even thought of the irony and I wrote that scene haha. Go figure :P. Personally my fave part was describing the head splattering like a watermelon! LOL. I'm glad you liked that one line! I was really going for angsty/drama, and it's good to know that line delivered lol. Cause to Drums, Kevin/Pearl/Nick/Jewel were the ones who really "destroyed him", he blames them for everything. We wanted to integrate the attractions in from the beginning, or what's the fun of having it happen at Disney World? Glad you're enjoying this one Mel!

You really could go insane stuck in It's a Small World although I admit that it's one of my favorite rides. I used to want one of those dolls from the ride so hearing Emerald shooting them down made my heart sink a little bit lol. Still, the whole exchange with Howie and Dr. Twitches was hilarious and his whole break down was pretty funny as well.
That was a close call with Pearl and the roller coaster, but I'm glad that she was able disarm the bomb!
Author's Response: LMAO we loved the idea of Small World messing with Howie's head a lot. Poor Howie and his size issues lol. And we love Emerald and her rebel ways, shooting down the dolls is the way she'd go.

I'm loving that this is taking place at Magic Kingdom. A shoot out on It's A Small World? This sounds epic! I had to laugh at the Hall of Presidents comment because it's SOOO true! That's usually a good time for a half hour air conditioned siesta for me lol.
Just a few minor plot holes that I discovered because I'm a Disney geek and I hate the fact that I know these things. You mentioned the Lion King Stage Show attraction. There WAS a Lion King show in Fantasyland, but that has since been replaced with Mickey's Phillamagic 3D show which has been there since i think 2003 or 2004.
The other thing was just a logistical error. Emerald and Brian were chasing Howie through Adventureland and then they corned him at the teacups in Fantasyland. The only issue is that the Teacups are nowhere near Adventureland. In fact, they are on the OTHER side of the park kind of near the Tomorrowland/Fantasyland border.
Author's Response: Thanks! We had so much fun with this episode, and it's definitely a favorite of ours, so glad you seem to be enjoying it! The Small World part with Dr. Rough was one of the first ideas we had. And WOW, you're as anal as we are sometimes! :) I know personally, I haven't been to Disney World since 1997, so I had to look up a lot. I wrote the mention of the Lion King stage show because it was on a map I was using of the Utilidors to write that chase scene - I didn't realize the map was outdated LOL. I didn't write the part with the teacups, but I'm guessing whoever did did not consult their map, so shame on them. ;) Thanks for pointing out the mistakes!

Lots going on to comment on in this chapter! Loving Nick's ADHD throughout these chapters and how much Kevin wants to kill him. Is it wrong that I find it kind of adorable that Nick knows all these Disney songs by heart? I'm totally fangirling out here.
I cracked up at Lancy's interrogation and also how wrong it looked when Pearl took that phone call from him.
The Tiki birds and that song scare me enough, so I thought it was brilliant for them to come alive and attack Nick and Kevin. I can totally picture that!
I'm also REALLY intrigued to find out what happened to Kristin and Nathaniel. I think enemy agents may have killed them which makes me sad :(
Author's Response: I loved Nick singing the Disney songs too! In fact, my favorite part of the whole story was in this one, where they're singing "One Jump Ahead" during the chase scene, and the FANS minions start singing the crowd parts. That was one of Veronica's parts, and it cracks me up every time. The Tiki birds are so annoying; we had to use them! Thanks for commenting on all these parts; glad you liked them!

Nick is kind of like that annoying child who on long road trips asks "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" and sings "This is the song that doesn't end..." over and over again huh? And Kevin is like the Dad in the front seat who has to threaten to lay the smack down to shut him up. Loved the arguement between Nick and JC about who would make the better Prince Charming. Nick hands down!
Jeez Howie testy much? LOL I loved him freaking out about it being even suggested that he play a Dwarf.
Author's Response: LOL That is exactly the vibe we were going for with Nick and Kevin. Pretty much all the characters in this story are stereotypes or exaggerated versions of themselves, to go along with the whole over-the-top spoof thing, so Nick is definitely childlike, yet charming, and Kevin is the serious, father-like leader. And Howie has a Napoleon complex! LOL Glad you liked these scenes! Thanks! :)

So I wrote this big long review and then my internet went out on me for a moment so I'll just give you the cliff notes version. Agent Grasshopper? Who is he again? Have I met him? Agent K is a sly one for tricking the agents into thinking that ther Disney trip is a vacation versus a mission. Diamond is a tease and I think Lancy is going to stow away on the plane... I think that about covers it!
Author's Response: I hate when that happens! Grasshopper is the wise, weird Chuck Norris agent. He hasn't gotten a lot of story time, but he's been in the story since probably the first or second episode. He's usually just in scenes with all the agents like that and speaks in weird riddles that don't make sense to any of the other agents. We actually have a website with cast info and stuff like that to make it easier to keep track of them all, if you're interested: http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/00carter/ We appreciate all your comments - thanks for the review! :)

Hmm... This alien arc seems far from over because there are still some unanswered questions. There is still no explanation of how Bree was impregnated with an alien unless Jim was an alien too although he seemed a lot more human... I think that Donnie is turning into an alien as a result of sleeping with that Playboy model so maybe that is what happened to Jim, but I dunno... Seems to me that there still msay be some aliens out there.
By the title of the next episode arc I'm going to guess that maybe their next mission is going to be at Disney World? lol
Author's Response: Good call on both - aliens aren't over, and next mission is at Disney World LOL. Yeah, the alien arc is not over, and you will get answers to those questions eventually (though, I must admit, not in what we have posted so far... it's going to be kind of a long, subplotty arc). Thanks for the review, Mel!

Oh Nick... That's all I have to say... He's something else isn't he? It's a good thing Pearl was out in LA. More importantly the baby! I had a feeling it was an alien! Now I'm too busy wondering the HOW of it all and I wonder what they are going to do with it. I knew that Mulder and Scully sounded familair too but I just figured it out now. X-files!
Author's Response: LOL but that's why we love Nick! And no kidding, Pearl would murder him. (She still might...) Glad you liked the alien baby. One thing about this story, is that there's a lot of pop-culture references. Exboyband members...always the unpopular ones...are part of an evil organization led by Howie. Random flashes in the pan for music, TV shows we loved lol. We knew once we decided on an alien story, we'd have to toss in X-files references :).

One word for this chapter EWWWWW! Emerald deserves a raise or something. SOOO gross! But I think she's definitely on to something with that tattoo.
Author's Response: LOL That scene with Emerald and Hef has to be the grossest thing I've ever written or researched. But glad it was effective! LOL Thanks, Mel!
Date: 07/24/11 02:06 am Title: Bunnies In Black: Part 3
Hmm... I'm more intrigued than ever about how Bree's baby ties into their mission. Obviously they are trying to get info on that Playboy model that Jim slept with. Had to laugh at Red with the, "Does this tail make my butt look big?" line. AJ could definitely pull of a sketchy looking guy named Rico. Can't wait to hear what the girls uncover!
Author's Response: Oh there's a definite way the baby ties into the mission. Don't forget about that baby for a minute lol. AJ would be an awesome pimp LMAO. Especially with his look at the NKOTBSB NYE performance LOL.
Date: 07/24/11 01:53 am Title: Bunnies In Black: Part 2
Yay the girls get a mission even though I know they are not liking the fact they have to masquerade as Playboy bunnies. LOL So funny when Nick came back expecting all the girls to be all over him and instead he gets Lancy LOL. Poor Nick... Something tells me Nick may try to stick his nose in this mission somewhere.
Author's Response: We thought it'd be cute to give the girls a mission instead. Poor Nick lmao, all he wanted was his ladies. At least he has Lancy! Hehe. And maaaaaybe, I mean, it's not 00Carter without the Carter... lol
Date: 07/24/11 01:36 am Title: Bunnies In Black: Part 1
Ooh! I'm already super intrigued! At first I thought that the baby had just been a stillborn, but now that it was revealed that it was actually Bree who died and Emerald said something about "it being in contamination" I think that she maybe gave birth to something inhuman which has me totally curious. Can't wait to read more! By the way that pen light that erases someone's memory is total bad ass!
Author's Response: Julie wrote the opening scene and I'm (Rose) still completely in love with it. I'm glad it grabbed your attention! And we love our little penlight, our tribute to "Men In Black"'s "neuralizer" lmao. :)
Date: 07/24/11 12:58 am Title: Ice Ice Baby: Part 4
This is totally reminding me of that one Austin Powers movie with the "Laser." Only Nick would sneeze and cause Brian to mess up on the wires and trigger the alarms. It was also nice to see that Justin hesitated for a second. I think that somewhere deep down the old justin may still exsist.
Author's Response: LOL That's definitely where we got it from. We figured every supervillain needs to have a plot to take over the world with a giant "laser," so this is Dr. Rough's go at it. Thanks for the thoughts!!
Date: 07/23/11 06:24 am Title: Ice Ice Baby: Part 3
Sounds lik maybe they've found Dr. Rough's lair. I am curious as to Nick's hatred for the American government. I have a feeling that maybe it has to do with the info that AJ said he read about his sister. Can't wait to find out the story behind that one!
Author's Response: You could be right... ;) Thanks!
