Ok, just reviewed the chapter. Dr Berenice Jones was last seen joining St Charlie, so it’s a lot less implausible now. They’re the ones who fixed their side of the gate, after all.
“Or Tip turning off the reality censor machine somehow affected her Madness.”
And it didn’t affect her when it first got turned ON?
Also, why would she be different now with it off, than she was before it ever got turned off to begin with? Besides – we know that reality blindness isn’t the same thing as madness, and we know that the cure for madness exists but has nothing to do with the machine.
It just doesn’t add up nearly as cleanly as the simple explanation that this isn’t Tigerlily. Occam’s Razor, and all that…
I appreciate that you shared that link, since I forgot that we saw Tigerlily after the explosion (it’s been a month and a half), but no need to be rude or condescending to everyone reacting or speculating without remembering everything else that’s been going on in this storyline.
Nothing about my comment was meant to be rude or condescending – it was just flatly laying out the information available, and then making a logical argument based on that information and Occam’s Razor.
If that reads as rude or condescending to you, I’m sorry, but matter-of-factness doesn’t necessarily mean someone is being a jerk.
Also, how did “they” get Tigerlily, and only Tigerlily, without anyone seeing it happen, when she has been in the middle of a gigantic throng of non-human sapients since we last saw her?
Also also, why did they wait until the exact moment when a spaceship from Lovetron (the place Tigerlily is always talking about, and has claimed to be a princess of [if I recall correctly]) to “get” her? Surely it makes more sense to assume this is someone from Lovetron, not Tigerlily herself? A sister or some such.
It’s not calling him Dennis that is strange to me (although for him, it’s certainly out of the ordinary). Since when has Tigerlily ever been concerned with dressing “practically”?
My hypothesis is Tiger Lily “Mad” was all an act to fit in with Earth’s Mads and this is the real Tiger Lily. The ship home is here, no reason to keep up the Jive Momma facade.
The hour has come—get on board! Decision time, non-human horde. But Tip’s new strangest thing Tigerlily will bring—by calling him Dennis, he’s floored.
Clones. There is more than one Tigerlily in this reality, perhaps many. And they are all linked on some level wherever they are. Quantum entanglement! And the one Tip and all the rest of us are familiar with is a mad rebel. Didn’t she indicate that she was not impressed with this arriving spaceship? Well, that’s my theory.
Ohhhhhhhh sh*t.
Yes, pretty much
I’m – afraid. Speechless, and very afraid…
She didn’t emerge from the fight unscathed. Assuming that it is her.
Berenice Jones from the alternative universe.
But how did she get here? And why is she dressed like Tigerlily?

…except she did emerge from the fight unscathed, to all appearances. The last time we saw her, she seemed totally normal.

So either she had a total change of character off screen for no good reason, or this isn’t her – and for my money, the latter seems more likely.
Or she had a total change of character off screen for a reason we don’t know yet.
No glasses, and she didn’t respond when Tip called “Tigerlily”
I don’t think it’s her.
Or Tip turning off the reality censor machine somehow affected her Madness.
As far as we’re aware, she’s the only confirmed fully broken through mad scientist currently on the board, so it could be a widespread phenomenon.

“Occam’s Razor”? Seriously? In *this* universe?

That Ira’s a tricky one. Just sayin’.
Uh oh.
….Imposter?
Sus
Oh god they got Tigerlily
“They”?

A sister who is approaching the ship from the same direction as everyone else, and who immediately recognises Tip?
“They” got Tigerlilly while everyone was too entranced by the massive UFO? Seems plausible.
For the moment, it doesn’t look like anybody is boarding, much less Ms. Jones. A “stay tuned” moment.
There are a lot of sparkly dots in the air below the saucer. I’m thinking that’s the loading zone.
I think that’s Pavane.
LOVETRON IS POD PEOPLE!!!
‘scuse me, I gotta go run out in traffic now
Somebody find me some new batteries! My weirdness meter is stuck on “Very Normal”, and that’s never happened!
Okay… What the funk?!
Tigerlily must have been Cured.
A reasonable hypothesis. But how? @_@
Well, while the madness cure may have been created with Dave in mind, I seem to recall “shooting it at other mad scientists” as a leading runner up.
She got his right name at the end of “Green Noah.” Since everybody else calls him “Tip,” why not be different and call him “Dennis?”
It’s not calling him Dennis that is strange to me (although for him, it’s certainly out of the ordinary). Since when has Tigerlily ever been concerned with dressing “practically”?
Tigerlily will define “dressed practically” in Tigerlily’s own way. Something Retro Seventies, probably.
Maybe Tigerlily has sisters back on Lovetron, and this is one of them.
My bet is on “Tigerlily’s mom”.
Tigerlily was the princess. This is presumably the Queen.
I see Kay and Roger in the background. Hope they’re all right from the fight.
We seem to have gotten through unscathed.
I thought there was at least one ripped-up wing.
Well, not completely unscathed, but you’re alive, so there’s that.
I have no reason to Bellerive this isn’t Tigerliily.
The question now is how, not why.
Not Tiger Lily. A decoy to lure Tip onto the ship. The dressing sensibly line gives it away.
Oops, dressing more practical.
Whoever she is she is still criticizing Tip’s clothes.
My hypothesis is Tiger Lily “Mad” was all an act to fit in with Earth’s Mads and this is the real Tiger Lily. The ship home is here, no reason to keep up the Jive Momma facade.
That theory is just as disturbing as anything anyone else has come up with.
Which means it’s entirely possible.
This was my first thought, as well. Though I also like the Berenice Jones-from-St-Charlie theory…
Oh no. I fear she gave her insane mind to the green. But has she lost her mojo or merely absorbed a different mojo.
She did change clothes, so if it is her, she hasn’t lost the mojo.
She looks chic in he dashiki.
Agreed. Although her clothing style is different than usual, she does look très chic.
The hour has come—get on board! Decision time, non-human horde. But Tip’s new strangest thing Tigerlily will bring—by calling him Dennis, he’s floored.
Someone get the straightjacket, Tigerlily has gone stark raving sane! There’s no telling what will happen next!
