Episode 4 introduces us to a new “breed” of supernatural being, a contractor in moratorium. At first this really confused me because I was thinking “moratorium” as in the actual English word (n., “a suspension of an ongoing or planned activity”). But in the DtB universe this actually means a sort of contractor-esque being without self-control. They’re a bit like the bratty teenagers of the supernatural group, acting on impulse and being very emotional. Maybe they need to suspend being like that.

Anyhow, our girl Mai is one such being.

I’ve decided to take blogging a little less seriously. Not “less seriously” in the sense that this whole thing is a big joke. What I mean is, there are lots of other great blogs where you could easily find an awesome summary of the latest episode of whatever (I flatter myself by assuming anyone but me reads this) and because of my terrible internet connection and general lack of time lately, my big summaries come out really late, so what’s the point? Instead, I’ll try to offer some commentary and work through some issues. And I’ll do a lot of stating the obvious, because I’m just that slow.

…Starting with DtB03. Come along, won’t you?
