I finally finished watching season 2 of the Christian crime drama series Vindication and just had to come out of retirement to share my thoughts!
Petition for Vindication Season 3 ► https://www.change.org/p/pureflix-we-need-vindication-season-3-tv-show
Hail!
This week some valuable lessons have been learned. The first being to never judge outward appearances. Sure Adelphus may have looked and played the eccentric fool. However, he is brilliant. The problem is that the years are catching up to the wizard and sadly it’s taken a toll. Stan will happily accept more time on the council as they find a suitable replacement. Who will it be? For all we know it could be Lucas. He learned an important lesson this week. Never spare against a Starbolt. Well, you can. Just make sure they aren’t a super-soldier, alien or an android. As long as it’s none of those people you SHOULD be okay. Emphasis on should. Results may vary. Poor Lucas. I think the Order of Korun needs to employ a strict regiment on hand-to-hand-combat. That’s clearly where Crystal excels.
Speaking of Crystal, she learned that what she experienced with Marcus is normal, healthy sex. That is a huge deal for her. Yes, they’ve had sex before. But, that’s not the point. The spells were definitely inhibiting the pleasure centers of her brain because of past trauma. She didn’t know what good sex was supposed to feel like because of the blocks and because Cody was so abusive.
What happens next? Well, Crystal is definitely going to explore this “soul bound” magic Cece was talking about. We’ll be sure to cover more of that next time. In the mean time, we have a Christmas comic coming! Stay tuned!
See ya next time!

It looks like the plot thickens this week as Stan makes the scene as only he can. Stan is a wizard and a very well renowned one. His words have weight and while he isn't on the council that much, he still has a lot to say--especially concerning his two daughters. I liken his actions this week to when Nick Fury told off the "World Security Council" in the first Avengers movie. Will there be consequences to all of this? Probably. As Stan himself said, there always is.
In my mind, Adelphus was overjoyed when Stan burst through the doors. Not because he was bored or anything. It was more that he relishes in the excitement of seeing Stan do magic. He was happy when Stan freed Crystal. This is probably because Adelphus was the one who vouched for Stan's entrance into the Order. We may get into their history next comic.
Sara and Crystal will be assessed and there will be some talking going on. You can bet Cassandra is off fuming somewhere. She and Lucien definitely had a history together. While they were together, I don’t think it ever went beyond a certain point. I dunno if she holds ill will toward the girls. She definitely does for Cece. Time will tell what happens on that front. Stay tuned!
See ya next time!

Wow! This week we learn a bit more about Cece’s backstory. I should really add some of this to the official timeline page. I will do so in time. The events of the comic’s flashback took place over a few centuries. Lucien’s death occurred some time in the late 1800s in Rhode Island. Ahh, Lucien. The guy is a bit of a jerk isn’t he? You could say he got swift justice for what he did. However, we will see next week that this wizard was no ordinary douchey mage. Nope. He instituted some policies for the Order of Korun that greatly irked Stan Whitefox when he came around. How? You’ll see!
Stan is definitely not going to be pleased to hear that the council is persecuting void witches. Sara and Crystal, like the other metahuman Starbolts, already faced persecution from just having special powers. The Department of Metahuman Affairs was created to combat those who would harm someone just because they had superpowers. Most of the world has greatly accepted people with metahuman gifts by now and yet now the magic community seeks to undo some of the strides made in that area. So, yeah. Stan is gonna be MAD.
More on this next time. It’s never a dull moment with this team is there? It should be noted that the guardsmen at the temple have this sort of Visionaries/Captain Power thing going on. Ironically enough both series were from 1987 and I had toys from both franchises. I have no idea what I was thinking. I just thought it looked cool and it fits somehow!

When the Order of Korun has to call in an eccentric old wizard, you know they are scared. Granted he is the leader and most wisest of all Jedi wizards in the Order. He’s still pretty eccentric and perhaps doesn’t know how to read a room. I get the feeling he probably will be disappointed by Crystal and Sara’s “scrolls”. The twins and everyone else will give the old guy a break. He’s over nine hundred years old and he’s wearing 3-D glasses for some reason. I haven’t figured out why and it’s not really a plot point. Sam and I just thought he should look like the 10th Doctor, David Tennant.
For his personality, I was thinking of going with an even more eccentric Dumbledore. It seemed the best way to go. I was thinking Gandalf. But, I couldn’t really get that personality down so this eccentric old guy came about.
It looks like Adelphus has some history with Cece. We’ll probably delve into that as time goes by. Right now we have two void witches who need to be “evaluated”.
I also included a bit about Jack as I needed to have some closure for that arc. He DID kill Emil and he felt bad about it. That just means he feels guilt and remorse. Given time he should be fine. He proved that despite everything he isn’t a monster and that’s what separates him from Emil Tartakoff.
Anyway, we’ll be back with more comics soon! Do stay tuned because we’re heading to this Jedi temple the Order calls home. See ya next time!

What makes a good movie-to-musical transition–even if the composer is an odd fit.

Hail!
You’ve got to love the daddy/daughter moment this week. Last week’s comic was more about Crystal and what she has been going through with her spells and everything. When compared to Sara, it seems that Crystal is more her mother’s daughter. She seeks solace with those around her even though her trauma was more external. Sara on the other hand is more introspective like her father. She internalizes everything and sometimes she needs a little coaxing to let all of it out. Yeah. Sara’s definitely a “daddy’s girl”.
Still, this was a great talk and it’s probably a good idea to have her wait on the training since she has a baby on the way and she still has to contend with everything else in her life. Crystal is very much the same way because like her, she just found out she was a Whitefox all along and a void witch. Both ladies have a lot to process and are going to deal with it in different ways.
Now Jack is back and it looks like the Order of Korun wants to speak with Sara and Crystal. What could they want? Tune in next week and find out!
See ya then!

There’s a whole lot of naked this week isn’t there? Yeah, I figured I’d address it right out of the gate rather than avoid talking about it. At least certain bits have censor bars or blurs on the characters. I couldn’t decide on the best option for Marcus so I went with a bar. A blur doesn’t really work when it’s a small sprite like these. Anyway, it is clear that the two definitely had sex. This week I wanted to show another side of their relationship and show that Crystal will eventually be okay. She’s been in therapy for a long time and given enough time she will be fine as she’s with the man she loves.
Marcus loves Crystal and will help her get past the hurdles she has to deal with. Who better to help her than a runner, right? She knows that there’s no easy fix to her problems. But, at least she has a man who will help her out no matter what. Talking about the issues she has to contend with like the dreams help. Any other man would have been like “You’re dreaming about another dude?! BYE!” Not Marcus. They get each other. Even he has certain issues and they work through them together. Perhaps she can help him jump a few of his own hurdles.
What I didn’t include in this week’s comic was a bit about how not only did the spells not like Marcus touching her. They worked to dampen the pleasure center in Crystal’s brain. I’m not sure if it will be revealed to Crystal or not. She and Marcus clearly had sex before and had a more pleasurable experience this time around. She will connect the dots, I am sure. The spells messed her up quite a bit given how they were conjured during emotional distress. Now than that’s not an issue, she’s finally free to become the woman she was meant to be and that’s all she ever wanted. She wants to be confident like her mother and her twin sister. Letting go of the past and dealing with her trauma is a way to do that. Since she’s now in control of her magic, she can work on being confident without spells getting in the way.
Now we turn to Andrea and her story. She too had dreams and nightmares. She dreamt of having a daughter and instead got two beautiful girls. When they were lost, she had nightmares until Crystal and Sara were revealed to be her biological children all this time. If things went according to plan, Elaine would have carried the twins to term. Sadly things didn’t go by the book. But, at least things worked out and her dream did eventually come true. The story she told Crystal resonates with her because of her own backstory. With her true history known and confidence gained, she is about to become a force to be reckoned with!
That’s all for this week. Tune in next time for Sara’s talk with her dad! That’s going to be fun!
See ya then!
