Green Lantern… I’m bored, once again…
“Ok, all right… “Place the ring, and speak the oath” The Oath. ‘Cause everybody knows the oath. I used to sing it in camp… [Sigh] I, Hal Jordan, do solemnly swear, to… pledge allegiance, to a lantern. That I got from a… dying purple alien. In a swamp […]
To infinity, and beyond. By the power of G*****… What THE HELL? COME ON! IF YOU CAN FIND ME A HUNDRED MILES IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, YOU’D THINK YOU COULD [bangs the ring with the lantern and it reacts, glowing green].
Bright as day and black as night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evils’ might, beware of my power, Green Lantern’s light.”
- Hal Jordan (Green Lantern in our sector…)

Cool… but I wonder, why are the bad guys always Brits? Don’t get me wrong, evil characters are always more interesting… perhaps because of their accent?

Mockingjay: Finnick Odair, District 4 (L)
SPOILER ALERT
Just as the elevator arrives, Finnick appears in a state of agitation. «Katniss, they won’t let me go! I told them I’m fine, but they won’t even let me ride in the hovercraft!» I take in Finnick—his bare legs showing between his hospital gown and slippers, his tangle of hair, the half-knotted rope twisted around his fingers, the wild look in his eyes—and know any plea on my part will be useless. Even I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring him. So I smack my hand on my forehead and say, «Oh, I forgot. It’s this stupid concussion. I was supposed to tell you to report to Beetee in Special Weaponry. He’s designed a new trident for you.» At the word trident, it’s as if the old Finnick surfaces. «Really? What’s it do?» «I don’t know. But if it’s anything like my bow and arrows, you’re going to love it» I say. «You’ll need to train with it, though.» «Right. Of course. I guess I better get down there» he says. «Finnick?» I say. «Maybe some pants?» He looks down at his legs as if noticing his outfit for the first time. Then he whips off his hospital gown, leaving him in just his underwear. «Why? Do you find this»—he strikes a ridiculously provocative pose—«distracting?» I can’t help laughing because it’s funny, and it’s extra funny because it makes Boggs look so uncomfortable, and I’m happy because Finnick actually sounds like the guy I met at the Quarter Quell. «I’m only human, Odair» I get in before the elevator doors close. «Sorry» I say to Boggs.

End of “The MockingJay”… spoiler alert
Peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. I wake screaming from nightmares of mutts and lost children. But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.
So after, when he whispers, «You love me. Real or not real?»
I tell him, «Real.»
