Some folks in the Escape Pod forums made the comparison as well… it’s a common thread in daikaiju films, too — the twins and their connection to Mothra, Gamera’s link with children, Godzilla’s own telepathic connection with various people over the decades. In my Daikaiju Universe setting, the connection will be shown to be a little more complex.

Thanks for the kind words! As for your affection for Scott’s (alleged?) woman-voice… that’s your own issue, buddy. ;-)

I really enjoyed the story. Besides the obvious influence of Japanese monster movies, I was reminded of Forbidden Planet. Did that influence you at all?

Is it weird that I’m starting to find Scott’s woman’s voice sexy? OK, not really.
