Exactly. I believe that there can be no plot until someone observes a plot. Thus far, that does not appear to have happened.

All the big words in this thread make Ziola's little brain hurt

My question is this: If a previously unrecognized plot slowly disappears, how would we even know?

I would still state there was no plot line. Because, as with any line, for it to exsist you need a beginning and an end. I have a feeling an end still hasn't been planned, therefore not plot. Just a progression of events, an arch.

The only thing that causes a plot to disappear is to remove its ending. Which may have happened.

So, in effect, you believe that if there is no ending planned, then there can never have been a plot, and therefore no plot holes? Not even a Neutron plot? Or A Plot Dwarf?

Hot.

I'm so stoked on being called "Dr. Cup O. Noodles."

I would like to be the big-breasted moron who answers the phones and files her nails, please.

Alright.

Okay, so how do I assist the research? I'm not very SMRT, so by assisting the researchers, I'll probably be making cookies for them. I'm good at that, lol.

*holds out tray of cookies* Anyone?

/me takes a cookie....mmmm..chocolate chip.

I would say that LG15 dosen't have an overarching plot more of a theme. "The Order Wants Bree" If there is an A-plot it is obscured by the lateral movements of the characters. There have been small subplots but those find themselves glossed over and forgotten. Any holes you discover are not plot holes but are the shadowy specters of forgotten subplots.

OMG im a doctor now, and a slow poster.

*stares at chocolate chips in cookie*

Dr. Noodles, you are indeed very SMRT, you trickster. I know the secret purpose for you passing around those cookies. It's to fire up The Institute's collective brain synapses. Yes, cookies! more precisely, the Cookie Dough Inflationary Model:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation

Cosmic inflation has the important effect of smoothing out inhomogeneities, anisotropies and the curvature of space. This pushes the Breeniverse into a very simple state, in which it is completely dominated by the inflaton field and the only significant inhomogeneities are the tiny quantum fluctuations in the inflaton [e.g. T&J reduced to minuscule Trolls]. Inflation also dilutes exotic heavy plot-icles, such as the magnetic mono-plots predicted by many extensions to the Standard Model of plot-icle physics. If the Breeniverse was only hot enough to form such plot-icles before a period of inflation, they would not be observed in nature, as they would be so rare that it is quite likely that there are none in the observable Breeniverse. Together, these effects are called the inflationary "no-hair theorem" by analogy with the no hair theorem for plot holes.

Colleagues, I believe more research is needed into this "no hair" problem in the Breeniverse.

I think we should start this additional research by asking for more cookies.

As no one observed me eating the cookies, I did not have any cookies. Nevermind the crumbs.
