The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Here's a couple more pictures of her. For scale... she's smaller than Tweek.

Them Chinese are ~really~ efficient. They managed to kidnap Jack, beat him up, load him on the container ship, and get out to sea in about 3.5 minutes. I bet it was Logan that tipped them off, too... he kept telling the Bluetooth Pentaveret that "Bauer will be taken care of."
I'm not sure Henderson is dead yet. Remember how he said he wanted to disappear like Jack did? A fake death was how they did that, so maybe...
And they left plenty of story lines open ended for next year. Wayne Palmer is still AWOL. Heller survived, maybe he'll be back as Gardner's VP. It would be really cool to see Aaron Pierce as a CTU agent teaming up with Curtis to rescue Jack. Not to mention the Bluetooth Pentaveret.
I'm still p!ssed at Tony's pointless death (if he really is dead), it seemed like it was just thrown in as an afterthought. The whole "Can I kill him yet? Pretty please?" thing didn't work for me.
Is it January yet?

The end was a let-down. I'm an American. I want a nice, happy ending. Not that!

Man, it is just ~pouring~ out there!

I'm pretty sure it was Logan that tipped off the Chinese. But that whole timing thing was a bit much. They've done that before trying to tie up loose ends.
I think Henderson is really dead. There was no one to witness that (Jack didn't realize the sailor-kid was watching). Although it did seem out of character for Jack.
Tony's dead too. There's no other reason to have had that in the plot line. But remember, only four people "knew" Jack was alive. Palmer, Michelle, Tony and Chloe. I think the wife said she saw the actor that plays Tony on a talk show and they actually held out on having his character die...but I could be making that up.
I wonder if we'll actually see Jack in China at the beginning of the next season or whether they'll give it as history. Having him in some remote location in China would make it nearly impossible for them to suspend enough belief to get him back to CTU in the same day.
I think we'll see Heller back. Not sure about Wayne. He was supposedly in a safe location where Bill/Curtis took him. However, he ~should~ have been at the airport to spit on Logan.

I would have liked to see a Wayne/Logan confrontation at the end.
"Hello, my name is Wayne Palmer. You killed my brother. Prepare to die."

I've incurred a reputation, and the store ~called~ here...Hire a real vet and open your own small animal clinic. :)
It's good to hear that she's eating.
To: ecurbh
The confrontation could ~still~ happen next year. But Wayne was probably on Logan's watch list. And, at that point, the SS were still loyal to him.

It really is....
I let the horses in for breakfast. In a bit here, I'm gonna go rescue Cisco. I think he scurried under the house, he's dry, but it's a pretty dreary day out there.
To: HairOfTheDog
She's really pretty. Love those eyes!
And yeah, that is WAY too big for a wormy-belly.

She has the same face as my old Kitty #6.
To: HairOfTheDog
So, she and her family could be Kitty 7, 8, 9 and 10...

No - 7 disappeared, Cartman is 8. I suppose Pippin and Tweek are 9 and 10.

I guess "Kenny" won't work as a name anymore. ;-)
She's a Ginger Kid though!

Nothing wrong with Kenny... I think it works :~D After all, we thought Pippin was a girl when we gave him a boy name, and Tweek's a girl :~D
To: RMDupree; HairOfTheDog
She's a Ginger Kid though! So you could redeem her by calling her "Mary Ann."
