I am very struck by the image of Covenant analysts (I assume the Covenant has analysts) going over all of "Valerie's" video's, but especially those of that last show... and there she is, doing a dance routine that in her mind is enacting at least one aspect of her and Dominic's courtship, and in their mind has got to be confirming every preconception the Covenant has about Healy women. I mean, damn. (I also one how good the audio pick ups were - because as charmed as I was by Dominic's exhortations for Verity not to die, I'm not so thrilled with them being broadly shared.)
Alice. Put me down for the Alice appreciation club, though I found myself less struck by her charming and quirky persona than by all the negative space it framed. There isn't a lot of use being impatient for more story, but... (tries not to fidget) I knew I was going to like Thomas, and now, having gotten a glimpse of adult Alice (if rather from the other side of things...) argh. That is a whole lot of shit ahead. And I have absolutely no idea how much Early Life we will see before we see Alice's Book.
