Oh, so she doesn't even REALIZE she hurt Torg and his friends.

That's gonna hurt, since she's starting to develop empathy and sanity.

I think she's reacting more to Torg's last couple sentences, where he seems to be saying that he doesn't really want to be there and it's all a ruse to get Oasis' help with something (ie. use her).

At least she didn't say: "Been there, done that."

That too. Information overload during her would-be-hug time. BAD TIMING, RIFF.

Incredible that I never thought of fluxing Oasis before these last few strips. Since she comes back when she dies that should be the perfect solution for someone who wants to fight her.

Yea, Riff didn't do a good job killing Sam so I guess he can 'try' to kill Oasis.

Odd how I never really thought of Riff as having a grudge against Oasis. When he saw a version of Oasis in 4U City he didn't freak out or anything, he just seemed mildly interested. Did Torg or Gwynn ever even tell Riff that Oasis caused the fire and not bad wiring or something. And Oasis and maybe Kusari don't know either. I don't remember Bun Bun ever being told but he did want 'payback', but against what is unspecified.
Now Gwynn/Aylee and grudges on the other hand...

I have a funny feeling watching Torg and Riff that all may not be as it seems.
But them I'm usually wrong.

Yeah, I believe they traded off-screen recaps with each other after Riff's return.

I think that Oasis's bewilderment might be due to all of it being different than her expectations..."information overload" was a good way to put it. Does anyone know if she remembers burning up Riff and Zoe?

I have keep reminding myself how much she does not know about.

It seems very, very unlikely that it wouldn't have occurred to Torg that Riff would show up. Especially since it was essentially guaranteed that Riff would see the video and know where the meeting point was. But if Torg DID realize this would happen, I'm not sure what the end game is here...

This link suggests that she is aware of her abilities - although I'm not clear that she knows how to use them. I get the impression that it's just instinctual?

Dude? Seriously? "How can you forget Phantom of the Lop'ra (Bandersnatch's post)?". The above link should refresh your memory...

I agree that it seems unlikely--after all, apparently Riff's treatment of Sam is still at the forefront of Torg's mind.
But Torg has been very distracted by the plan since he made the plan...but we have been reminded that Riff, Torg, and Gwynn are the only people who know about the cliff...

I'm not sure about the end-game either. Was he hoping Riff wouldn't come? Not yet? Was he counting on Riff coming for some reason? I guess we'll see!

I had never thought about that either--perhaps because these two storylines hadn't collided yet, so we didn't have them in the same room in our minds.
