1632: Difference between revisions

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Princess Kristina of Sweden is characterized as an extremely intelligent and intuitive seven year old. To many characters, uptime and downtime alike, her uncannily sharp mind borders on [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour]].

** In ''Commander Cantrell in the West Indies'', Eddie's sister-in-law, king's daughter Leonora of Denmark, is another such. She's fourteen now, but yes, she was already fascinated by science at seven.

* [[Writer on Board]]

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: In the ''Ring of Fire'' story "When the Chips Are Down" things don't start out well for Larry Wild. He seems to screw up any attempt at work, he misses his family, which was really close and loving, and later his attempts to make potato chips cause him some grief. Still, [[Throw the Dog a Bone|it seems to end pretty well]], with the town loving his chips. He even gets to dance with a girl he likes. {{spoiler|Then ''1633'' comes along and he gets killed in the Battle of Wismar when a cannonball cuts him in half. Making it worse is that ''1633'' was published first, so anyone reading in publication order knows this is just a [[Hope Spot]] for poor Larry}}.
