…..This whole news feud initially started off as amusing enough (if I may say so), but I really thought it was just some workplace rivalry. And then I hear that Ryan Addington has actual connections to the Savage Gang, and my whole perspective on everything changes. xD

Megan Lawlor’s certainly starting to lose it, but at least she doesn’t have a hand in the crew’s operations like Addington does (though Addington’s case might be more coercion than anything else). This reminds me of those well-known government figures who pretend to praise and exalt someone on camera while actually having a very different opinion of them off camera, you know? They’re worried about what they say because they don’t know if their benefactor is watching at that moment.

I wanna see Wayne Steele and the Justice Seekers pull off at least some successes (the “the hammer is going to drop” line made me chuckle a good bit), and, in a perfect world, I could see his team being every bit as effective as Sapphire Angel’s. They have anonymity, effectiveness, teamwork, collaboration…..the whole lot. Wonder if Julian (the hacker Savage mentions) will be a decently major character or if he’ll just be the Gang’s trump card against the Justice Seekers. If I were Savage, I’d be vomiting right now as well, knowing that a THIRD party is on my tail for the stuff I did. Then again, that was more the medication’s doing than anything else.

I really think Lawlor is a better choice for covering Sapphire Angel since Lawlor was more recent (the encounter with Lynch on the bridge), but at the same time, Addington did correctly point out that he was one of the first people to see her in action. I’ll find out soon, I suppose!
