[OOC][PLOT] Planning for Arc 2 - Crisis on Infinite Earths

[Labster]

I think the Cat Bureau would never abide by that rule.

I'm having trouble figuring out what the scope of Arc 1 will be.  We don't want to make solving the problem seem too easy -- TV shows have died by solving the central conflict too early.  Twin Peaks comes to mind, where the executive meddling to "solve Laura Palmer's murder already" drove the show to early termination.  Anyway maybe that's because no one has written it yet and everything is fine.

But it might just be easier to say that the multiverse is only partially working now, and *handwave* you can't do that X because science, even though Y works.  Where do you get these silly ideas?  Seriously, did you even take intro to interdimensional dynamics?

What's to stop Washuu or Tenchi or The Doctor or Harold Shea or somebody else from opening too many paths between worlds and destablizing the multiverse - again?

Mind you, there's always the movie version of the Nanoha storyline. Nothing says the younger versions of the characters - the ones we've already seen - come from there, and the older versions of the characters come from the TV-series continuity. This leaves us with two each of Nanoha, Fate, Arf, Hayate, her knights, and everybody's devices, but that just gives then something to talk about with Mimi Hanyu.

At least there are only two continuities; we wouldn't want to come back from the woods with four Annies! Ha ha ha!
