DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

So my first thought was OH SHIT IT'S WATERBORNE AND THE RAIN IS FULL OF KELLIS-AMBERLEE, but I think the insect vector is actually scarier. D:

Also, "She would have gotten better" just tore my heart out. I read that part while on the way from DC to Kentucky and just turned to my boyfriend with the D: face on and then had to explain why I was flailing. (I'm trying to get him to read the books.)

Seriously, though, my heart just aches for Shaun. I suspected all the way back in Feed that there was more to their relationship than just very close siblings and that they might actually be in love like that (which really weirded me out until I remembered they're not actually related), but with the confirmation it's just...sldkfjslkdjsldkjsdj poor, poor Shaun. :( I can't help but wonder what's going to happen when he realizes George is...well. You know. *wants a happy ending for him, is totally okay with the double entendre*

Anyway, I'll be over here, waiting impatiently for Blackout. :P

Also, please tell me we're going to see more of Dr. Abbey, because she pretty much rocks. Taunted octopus, indeed! And can we thank the CDC for the insect-borne KA? (btw, that scene in Portland was scary as all hell and I loved every minute of it!)
