Oh! This has just got to happen sometime in the Last Chronicles!!! :mrgreen: Thomas meets Roger! I, personally, am very much looking forward to it :D

Absolutely, it will happen. I'm looking forward to it, too!

What a touching family reunion it will be, huh? TC, who's dead; Joan and her resident Raver; and their charming son, Roger....

I think that for sure, Roger will continue to have that cheesy grin he wore when Linden saw him. TC might spend some time trying to make friends with Roger, to make up for his absence from Roger's life during his growing up years -- even though that absence wasn't TC's fault. (Goodness knows, if there's a miniscule shred of guilt around in any given situation, TC will assume it's his and beat himself up over it....) Hopefully he'll eventually realize that Roger's crazy/possessed, and nuke him.

Yes, this will be interested to see...While TC may try to reason with Roger, I certainly doubt Roger is capable of being redeemed. Joan, on the other hand, might have a chance yet! In terms of the Gap series, I see Roger as more of a Holt Fasner, whereas Joan is a really screwed up Morn...

Still, even if Roger is unredeemable, do you think TC would have it in him to destroy his own son? I don't think he could do it; he'd blame himself too much to treat Roger as anything more than a victim.

Family reunions are great! 8O :evil: :cry:

Covenant. "Honey, this is Linden. Lindon this is my deranged tortured family."
Linden extends hand in greeting, "Nice to meet you, Joan."
Joan wild eyed and sheathed in fire "BURN and DIE!!!!"
Roger smirks, leans in and says "I will eat your bones."
Covenant, "Right. Linden how's you son?"
Linden, "Catatonic most of the time, thanks. How's your daughter?"
Covanent, "Dead. She's over there with shade of her mother, that I raped."
Linden "Oh look, the Ramen have dinner ready."
Covenant "Hellfire, I'm hungry. Lets eat."

You left out Linden's parents:
Covenant: "Linden! Look who I found on the 'other side'! Your mom and dad!"
Linden: "Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. You're both looking...dead."
