    Is it bad that I’m hearing her talk in Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice?

      No, that sounds about right…

      I think it’s WRITTEN in Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice.

      I’m sure Unity has much better people-skills than Sherlock, though 😀

      I advise working on hearing it in Dame Maggie Smith’s voice instead. Or Helen Mirrien.

    I would have thought that Nick’s been ready for a very long time, or at least as ready as he’s ever gonna get.

      Nick might be ready in his mind but his physical readiness is a serious issue that needs to be resolved. >_>

    It would be interesting to see UNITY interact with Artie while she’s got enough brains in her to be smarter than he.

      I wasn’t aware that was a possibility

    Unity on brains is a more perceptive psychologist than Tip on anything.

      i dunno, i’d have to see her try to track tigerlily to buy that.

    Wow, Unity’s a reverse-drunk. She’s on her seventh brain-cocktail, totally out of control, acting like a complete genius and ruining the party for everybody. Tomorrow she’ll wake up groggy and confused in a hotel room in LA, formulas for cold fusion and coca-cola scrawled all over the walls…

      … and immediately doodle all over them, obliterating them before anyone can write them down.

    That last line was possibly the meanest thing I’ve seen Unity say or do in the entire run of the comic.

      Which, considering she’s a cheerfully violent monkey punching supersoldier, says quite a bit. You’re right of course. Whatever she may actually be doing, Unity is NEVER mean about it 🙁

      Well, she did say something earlier about them being “blunt” brains. 😛

    ‘Cause she’s had a ch-ch-ch-change of heart …

    Unity observes, “You’re b-b-b-blushing,”

    “There’s a guy on whom you’re c-c-c-crushing!”

      Best avoid confrontation!

    Things just might get out of h-h-h-hand …
     (best avoid a confrontation)
    If you have this talk you’ve p-p-p-planned!
     (best avoid a confrontation)
    It would just cause cons-s-s-s-sternation!
     (best avoid a confrontation)
    So you’d best avoid this c-c-c-c-confrontation!

    Is it really mean when you know the meanee is too stupid to be hurt by it?

      As I said before, the other girl doesn’t seem put out. In fact she’s generally acting like a stoner, so she probably thinks it’s funny.

      The real question is what’ll happen when the next sewer incident hits, and the foreman finds his usual “brain” is now dumb, so he’s got Unity instead.

    Am I the only one here who is slightly disturbed by the sight of random brains lying scattered about the place like Tribbles?

        That’s the brain replicator doing its job.

    Wow. Smart!Unity is more than a bit frightening in an extremely hot way. Big brains turn me .. wait this is not the right context for that statement.

    I think it’s an interesting plot twist that the Brain-o-Mat may be turning out “brains of bluntness.” I wonder if affects other zombies the same way. I can’t believe Unity is the only one who gets smarter when she eats brains, since some of the others that we’ve seen seem pretty intelligent.

    Hey Unity, Virginia finally worked up the nerve (rimshot?) to do something more or less impulsively. Don’t knock it.

    I don’t remember if it’s ever been brought up or not, but does Nick need to sleep in his current state? Even overlooking physical necessity, I would think it would be pretty boring being up 24 hours per day, every day.

      given that brains need to sleep, i should certainly hope he gets to, since he’s still got his nice original meaty brain.

    Okay, two down, two to go. I’m guessing U.N.I.T.Y. looks into Tip’s soul next, and then we spend the next week in a conversation between her and Artie. Being intellectually super-charged, she’ll be able to speak with him as an equal, if not a superior.

    I’m really hoping she can speak with Artie as superior. 😀

      Ooh, maybe they’ll get in an argument about his fears for future San Francisco with the Brain-O-Mat and she’ll be able to reassure him! (Or agree that it’s a sign of the Apocalypse. You know, whichever.)
