fanastikal 9/30/11 . chapter 1Nicely done, and a nice elaboration, though I don't fault Balthazar for saying that in the movie. He DID clarify it with the 'You've heard that most people only use 10 percent . . .' Of course, Dave's heard that; most people have. But that doesn't make it true. It's one of the things I love about language, and interpretation. Balthazar didn't say it was true, so therefore it wasn't a lie. And, as you pointed out, it was a shortcut to help Dave understand how special he really was. Dave really couldn't see past being 'just' a nerd, and that was a very big obstacle. It literally took until the end of the movie. Thanks for this. |

Goldenfightergirl 12/26/10 . chapter 1i loved the excuse for the brain thing. I just watch the movie like yesterday and it bug me because it wasn't true. |
Ocianne 12/7/10 . chapter 1I've reviewed your stuff before, but have to drop back in to say that this... THIS is pitch perfect. You caught pretty much all the plotholes, I think, and you channeled Dave's quirkyness and Balthazar's snark in lovely fashion. Thanks for writing it. _ |
Isis the Sphinx 11/10/10 . chapter 1D'aaawwwwww...I saw this movie a few days before my birthday and found myself really liking it. Balthazar and Dave had a nice banter set up, and a great relationship. Keep writing! |
TheJediBakerGirl 10/2/10 . chapter 1The summary alone drew me in. 3 This is just so well-written! A little short, and I wish there was more to this. This would be an uh-MAZING way to start off a whole story! |
Argent-Jinx 9/12/10 . chapter 1I wish this wasn't just a one-shot. I feel like there could be sooooo much more. So I loved it, obviously. AJ |
RoMythe 8/16/10 . chapter 1Oh, nice little story! or will there be more? I hope so; that thing with Becky being a sorceress could be cool! |
Bane WolfBlood 8/1/10 . chapter 1Really good. |
albert87 8/1/10 . chapter 1Hey i like your story i'm curious to see where you are going with this story Cya |
Sara Wolfe 7/24/10 . chapter 1Very nice. I especially like how you addressed the whole "the percent of the brain" comment. That was the part of the movie that bugged me the most, but I love your explanation for it. |
