* How did Bea get the dreams in the first place? It seems strange that all of this stuff is just happened all of a sudden.
** Who knows? maybe they are actually dreams, and she's just an undiagnosed schizophrenic or something. *shrugs*
** Is Bea actually trying to find out why she's having these dreams? It seems that she's just accepted that it's now a part of her life.
* When Bea uses modern term like 'hot' to describe, say, Alan, the rest of the 18th - century characters seems to understand her, or at least not ask her what she means.
** Well, she did mention on a number of occassions that she's really from the 21st century. They probably just assume that's her 21st century self talking.
** Okay, so if she's made it clear to Alan and Nathan that she's from the 21st century (and she sometimes act like it's still the 21st century), why don't they ask her questions like "Who won the Revolution?" I know I'd have a bunch of questions if I met a person from the 24th century.
** She's a [[
** Well, if Bea is assuming that what she's dreaming is actually happening in real time (like her brain is literally transporting her 200+ years in the past), maybe she worries that saying, "The Americans win the Revolution and is a united country well into the 21st century", events may change. Certain things may not happen the way they're supposed to (and she probably doesn't want to risk letting the ''British'' win the thing!) It's just her being as [[Genre Savvy]] as possible.
* When did Bea ever refer to one of the 18th century characters as hot?
Line 17:
** Yep. They likely have more important things to worry about than words that come out of Bea's mouth.
* Is Alan Warren a fictional character? The comic says he died in Breeds Hill and Bea's trying to stop it. When was Breeds Hill? Did she already save him from that battle?
** Actually, the comic says ''Joseph'' Warren, Alan's cousin, died at Breed's Hill aka Bunker Hill.
Line 23:
*** We ''aren't'' sure yet, which is why we read the comic. Duh.
* A [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment here. Bea was arguing with a friend of hers about why she (Bea) was being a jerk. Bea replies, "You have no idea what I'm going through." I thought "What the hell, girl?" As far as I can see, Bea's just having dreams of a life in the midst of the Revolution.
** "You have no idea what it's like to be in my situation! I'm a white, middle-class girl who is lucky enough to not have dysfunctional parents who are ''still married'', may I add, and how lucky I am to be able to go to a decent high school, and will likely go to college soon! Meanwhile, I have romantic dreams every night where I'm this rich girl who dates a hot Colonial guy. I do not have a mental disorder where I cry my eyes out for a man that's been dead for 200+ years despite already having a boyfriend, and a very cool boyfriend at that who actually treats me like a person, and not am object! '''YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH! I AM THE MARTYR!!''' So there!"
Okay, this one has been bugging me for a while.
Line 36:
As you can see my "GAH! BUT WHAT? HOW?" has been building for quite some time.
