Does anyone remember what planet dairine goes to in the early part of WAW, she also visits there in her ordeal. its the planet with all of the computer creatures.
As far as I can recall, the planet doesn't actually have a name, it's just called the Motherboard. I'm not even sure that the solar system that it's in has a name.

Have you guys noticed how in the sixth book, Daryl mentions, "I know who you are becomming" "You can't be here" and than in this book, Ponch is found to be a Power??

Dairine always refers to it as the Motherboard, and the creatures that live there as Mobiles.

yeah, i didn't really notice that fact either. *wonders at this* i suppose it WAS a bit of a foreshadowing, but it's hard to remember singular lines like that! particularly if you've waited too long for a second book...*Shrugs* ah well. i really hope i managed to make this post long enough, cause short of ANOTHER ramble, i don't have anything else to say! other then what i just said that is. :P hah! made it too!

i never really got it. is ponch a power like Tom and Carl's bird, picho(?), was or is it is, huh? or is ponch a new power? oh and at the end when the other dog that said he was ponch, was he really ponch?
i think it's saying that ponch is the god of the dogs, and when the other dog said he was ponch it was just because ponch can speak through any dog. (if that made any sense)
if you're as insanely cool as me... I'LL SEE YOU AT ECLIPSE PROM!!!
It's not quite god of dogs...more like the dog aspect...i mean, the Lp has so many aspects...why not god? and you know it's god, because they say so fairly clearly...they point out the whole dog spelt backwards thing and mention gods sense of humor. at least, it seems pretty clear to me. *shrugs*

Also, they mention that the dogs now have their own version of the One (aka Ponch)
So, what about Dairine and Roshaun? They keep saying it's not romantic, but then again... And where'dya think he disappeared to?

now THAT is a topic that's been going on for AGES i don't think anyone knows other then DD. assuming she knows...it's not THAT uncomon for arthors to only figure it out as they write it....but still, she most likely does. And of COURSE it's romantic! She wouldn't have cried so much otherwise...I mean, she might have, but it seemed more of a lost love thing then a lost friend you barely knew, and until recently didn't even like....*shrugs* theories aobut where he is is dead, in a sun, or a whole lot of other things i can't remember. sorry if that's not much help.
