Besides, the sinister side of me wants jaina hanging with Allana while simultaneously having I-need-a-tissue, heartbreaking thoughts about jacen.

You know when sometimes someone is thinking the exact same thing as you and that is scary in an awesome sort of way? This is one of those times.

but maybe Daala's more complicit in this than just her normal hatred of Jedi manifesting itself now that she's CoS. If she's an accomplice, it could also explain why she so randomly assumed the position at the end of Invincible

I kind of glossed over this to begin with, but damnit, I like it. I do wonder if somehow Daala was maneuvred into position by like... One Sith operatives in the Senate or something. I don't know if that is what DJ was getting at, but its something I like. I guess when it comes to Daala post Revelation, my mind automatically defaults to "Daala as CoS is unimagineably ludicrous. Brain cannot handle cannot handle cannot handle. Proceed shutdown termination termination. These are not the plotlines you are looking for. Move along to preserve memory banks."

I think that perhaps it would've been easier for me to swallow if Daala was the Minister of State instead, and that way she could still have massive amounts of power and leverage, but it wouldn't be as freaking random or insane. I guess what I need this series to do for me is give me a solid, sensible reason as to how she got that position because it is clear there was no election, and the whole, "She was the best person for the job" is a flat out bald-faced steaming pile of lies in crazy sauce. This series needs to spoonfeed me like I'm a baby in terms of how Daala got this position. I can see how she has RETAINED it, but we need to have a solid, adult, mature reason as to how she got there in the first place.

I totally want Daala to be working with the One Sith to put the Jedi under the thumb, while Daala is ALSO planning to get rid of the Sith, because we know that while she does not like the Jedi at all, she also has a disliking for Sith.

I don't buy that. Sorry, Max. I just cannot fathom how out of all the politicians that make up the Senate, plus all the random politicians that live on all their homeworlds whose homeworlds are in turn member systems of the Galactic Alliance, plus any other politicians that may work on committees or planetary parliaments or whatever.... and NONE of them can be the Chief of State? Pish posh! Whatever happened to Releqy A'Kla? Ponc Gavrisom? Hell, even friggen Fyor Rodan - as much as an assface he is - makes more sense than Daala, who at the time of Revelation wasn't even a friggen GALACTIC ALLIANCE CITIZEN.

This is why I need to be treated like a baby in this case, Max. This entire things scream of making no sense. Its like the Chewbacca Defense from South Park, and like I said in my Invincible review, I apply the Chewbacca Defense TO this plot line. As I said, I can see how Daala has retained her position and I can see why she may make a good CoS in SOME aspects, BUT I need someone to console me and tell me its okay and spoonfeed me a canon reason how she actually GOT the position and exactly WHY people like Han, Luke and Leia acted like they were in Season 4 of Angel and that Daala was Jasmine. And I hope that that at least makes sense to some forumers here, because its basically what happened in Invincible.

You guys.

All I implore of Abyss is that it does not see any of the following:

*A YJK member die.
*A YJK member go crazy.
*A YJK member go evil.
*A YJK member do any combination of the above.
*A YJK member - or any of their spouses/romantic interests/potential romantic interests go MISSING IN ACTION AT THE END OF THIS NOVEL.

Don't do it Denning. You're better than that.

What I WANT to see in Abyss, but may or may not get:

*All of the YJK. Yes, ALL of them. The only exception I will accept is Zekk, who may or may not be available due to Blood Oath issues. Obviously Jaina will be there. Assumedly, Tenel Ka and Tahiri will also be present. Jag too. But hey, RAYNAR, LOWBACCA and TESAR all need to put in appearances here. Seriously.
*Winter Celchu. I really think Denning would do her justice, and we need to see Leia and Winter do stuff together, and hey, its all legit because of Darkmeld so it isn't like she'd be forced in there or anything.
*A complete friggen listing of every single member of the Jedi Council. Seriously, Denning did it in TJK, why can't he just do it here?
*JAINA/ALLANA INTERACTION. Hell yes. Also, Han/Leia and Jaina interaction.
*A pregnancy. Preferably Jaina, because it would be wierd if Saba Sebatyne walked in and was all, "Thiz one is with child."
*FORCE LORE. These Mind-Walkers sound so friggen awesome that my feeble brain can barely put their awesomeness into words.
*Much Maw Cluster eerieness/creepiness/awesomeness.
*Someone actually having the balls to point out to Daala that if she is going to dredge up old-school "crimes" and issues and throw lawsuits every which way, then feasibly, it would be very easy for someone to throw one her way for things like Mon Calamari genocide, the destruction of Eol Sha's colony, attacks on Luke Skywalker's Gifted School for Mutants, and oh yeah, attacking Dantooine just because she got pissed off that someone destroyed one of her warships.... IN A WAR. Whatever. No one has to actually FILE a lawsuit, but I just want someone to point out that yes, Daala did bad things in the past too, things that rival any accusations she throws at Jacen, or Luke, or whoever.
*Jacen and Anakin Force ghosts. I realise my chances of this are slim, but if we're getting Mara Poltergeist, why not three for the price of one?
*Cronal. I don't care how. I don't care why. I don't care if Cronal is White Eyes, or the Maw beast, or both or neither, but seriously. Cronal.
.... I think that's it.
