As we all know, there are a hundred and one different things that are setups for other episodes. When we first listened to Squirm, we could have only had an inkling how that would turn out, and there are all sorts of other little details that look like they might get picked up into a similar meta-plot at some point. I for one am looking forward to the statement of Marcus (or Markus, I suppose...) McKenzie (Or MacKenzie... dammit!), the son of Paul McKenzie from A Sturdy Lock. Lots of unanswered questions from that episode, not least what called on him to make a statement. In terms of un-picked up threads I can think of: Prentiss (natch) Jurgen Leitner's library Breekon and Hope The Keays "Michael" Sarah Baldwin's "return", and what happens to people who go missing in the Old Fishmarket Close What happened to Tom Han? The old man in Freefall And so on So guys, what are you looking forward to seeing more of?

I'm looking forward to hearing more about Jurgen Leitner, personally. That and Breekon and Hope we're the two things that made me realise there was a more connected narrative going on.
I'm also intrigued by the People's Church of the Devine host from MAG... Whatever it was with the serial killer. They've popped up a few times and I'm interested to see what's going on with them. I have a feeling we might see them towards the end of the Prentiss story as a Marie Sue to fix the Hive problem.

Likewise, my interest is in the Jurgen Leitner library and whoever Michael Crew is, hovering in the background of those two episodes.

Everyone seems to want to see more of the library, so to avoid exclustion I want to clarify that I want to see more Leitner too! I guess I was wondering if anyone had any one-episode threads that they want to see returned to? Something like who Rainer is, or what went on with the binman in MAG5.

With all of the Prentis excitement I had completely forgotten about Leitner's library! I would love to find out more about it. I'm especially interested in the book from MAG4 which if memory serves was owned by Macgregor Mathers. I wonder if any other real world occultists will make a cameo...
I'm also interested in the religious order from 'A father's love'... there are so many stories that are ripe for expansion...

Thank you all for this - it's very useful. While the ultimate shape and destination of these threads is largely set, it's always good to know which people want to see more of on the way.
Also very interesting to see are which threads no-one has spotted yet, which connections have not yet been made. I can tell you now there are one or two nasties that have come up a few times with more or less subtlety that have not been mentioned yet on these forums.

I remember thinking when I was editing the wiki entry for 'Vampire Killer' that this seems like something that will crop up again but nothing quite comes to mind for a reappearance of the 'vampires'. The Lukas family connection to the Institute is also something I'm interested in seeing as how Elias warned against bothering them or the girl further. But also, this is the worst thing you could have said - since now everyone will be scrambling to link everything to everything else. It's gonna be red thread everywhere... the haberdashers will run out of stock...

... *stomps off to add to the Wiki timeline* *An unnatuaral howlng cackle dogs your heels* ... Is it that people always seem to find themselves at hospitals over Christmas? EDIT: Seriously, man, can you write people visiting hospitals NOT between the months of December and January?! Once is routine, twice is happenstance, and 3 times is enemy action...

I believe the trip to Cambridge Military Hospital took place in April. Jane Prentiss was admitted in late February. And the long nights, the cold... Winter is rife with potential for accidents and illness. There is a very real world increase in hospital admissions during that time. The weighting of statement incidents in that direction probably just reflects that.

Huh, the wiki has April for the statement, January for the event. Though, I wrote that entry, so I'm probably at fault I'll give you Prentiss, haven't got that far yet. Oh yeah, I work in a hospital, you don't need to tell me that! XD

If by "remembering" you mean "consulting the wiki"... ;P
