A.o.D. posted:A better question is can the death star survive 3 Borg drones? if it was tabletop basically the force just lets you reroll dice. that's it. If vader is on the death star he just uses the force to reroll and destroy the cube, like luke rerolled to crit the first death star it's the same poo poo with the light sabers not being nightmare weapons only a psycho or a saint would use, they had to dial them down just like they had to dial down the borg or no game or media would work the concept of anything from star wars and anything from star trek running into anything from each other defeats the idea of "writing a story" in general. -- alison could try to coerce gog into helping by saying that not even worms transcend death and ripping out they key but i don't really think this is the way it will go

I can't tell if it's a "reading someone who's singing lyrics" thing, or a reference to something I don't immediately know, or both There's been a couple instances in the last couple of pages where gog goes off on little textual tangents like that and since this is all dressed up in an eric andre spoof I can't tell if that's a gog thing or a reference thing

There's a cadence to it that's a mix of court jester and Shakespearean witch that fits Gog Agog perfectly.

Either Cio somehow doing an angel and reincarnating or a demon who uses Cio's mask shard to become de facto a sort of love child of her and Alison that, while not the original Cio, reminds greatly of her and proves worth caring for in and of herself would be both be quite nice. I want this demon to at least matter into the future, and to not simply be cast aside, even if we cannot go back exactly to having everyone's favorite chitinous fanfic writer.

Wait so is all this Gog exposition just a setup for what's about to happen? If Gog has a complete memory she might have Cio's memories juggling around in there somewhere. And if Cio is currently a Pale Devil then she's exceptionally single minded and may just try to rip whatever Gog has on her out of Gog by force.

Memories of Cio, sure, assuming she was part of previous cycles.

Gog is not Jadis, Cio probably doesn’t even exist in most of what Gog remembers of infinite previous cycles

The only thing that might have Cio stored and has actual agency (sorry, Jadid) is Himself. His “think of Me when you get on the throne” moment is an unfired chekov’s gun still around, too.

I guess I didn't think it all the way through and just assumed that Gog can absorb almost anything, devils included, since humans are of the black flame as well. But we don't really have enough information about that, can Gog forcefully absorb people with the worm or do they have to eat it willingly for it to work? If it's willing then I would think devils can be absorbed since will being a requirement suggests its a soul transfer rather than biological. What's actually interesting to think about is that since Gog survives the resets, is her origin story even accurate? What came first? Gog or the worm?

I think she just.. ate them? Like literally nom nom worm in the corpse of god style dinner. Her memories are entirely hers, she just uses the worm mass as cloud storage because she can’t hold her lifetimes in her head.

If she did take Bill Murray amounts of time to learn the lives of everyone on Throne then she probably knows just when to give the worm pitch and just what to say. No one's worst day would go unnoticed or uninterrupted.

I seem to remember people did the math and Bill Murray was only groundhogdaying for 40 years or something. From what she said Gog has been around for quite a bit longer.

IIRC the writers of the script said Bill's character was in the loop for 10,000 years or something like that, but I could have that figure mixed up with another causal loop movie.

The 10,000 years number was stated in an early version of the script, but got taken out. In another earlier version, it was 70-80 years. Danny Rubin refused to pick a number, saying it's just supposed to feel long, like 100 years, or a lifetime. Harold Ramis said it was somewhere between 10-40 years (he said 10 then changed his mind to ~30-40 in a later interview). But he based that estimate on "how long it would take someone to get good at something", which he guessed was at least 10 years, as Phil spends so much time mastering a bunch of different things. But people can actually master the things Phil does in way less time than that, so it's conceivable it was much shorter.

I heard there was also a version of the script where he measured how long he was in the loops by going to the library, pulling a book off the shelf in the first section, reading one page, putting it back, and then leaving. Each day he'd read exactly one page of a book from the library, and by the time the movie was over, he would have read every single book in the library cover to cover.

For a small town library 20,000 books * 300 pages is 6,000,000 pages in total, which would have been an over sixteen thousand year version. 80 years would have been just shy of 30k pages.
