the sound clip from this week more than confirms for me that she all too real. I think it odd that the story made a point of revealing there are others like Jan, though (1.1's) for it to go nowhere. I fully expect this to turn up again and could possibly play into this. If it does, we can surely move to that thread. Bet lots of folks may be wondering why THIS thread is getting so many posts today for a theory that is now dead.

Well, sorry to dredge up a dead thread, but it seemed the best place to post my thoughts.

While it seems obvious that Monster Anne isn't Gladys, something certainly doesn't fit there. That's what I was trying to get at.

The story is just a bit too open ended. Why did J^2 get taken out so easily? I guess that's what most of us are trying to figure out. Having Gladys be the reason why he was neutralized previously fit well.

I'm going to have to partly agree with the guy who said it was "irritating". I listened to "Bigger Dog" again on the humptydumpty page. James was tied up as soon as he fell to the basement. Although he was able to almost tear completely through the netting, it was too late for him to do anything because Bradley (or Thin...whoever) came over and started beating on him. I don't think there is anything shady behind the characters we already know of now. I just think that this was a failed rescue attempt. Had James not been tied up, he probably would have succeeded in beating the mess out of Thin and his partners (just as he did to one of the guys watching the entrance). They knew what James was capable of so they set up everything from the collapsible floor to automatic nets. James only plan was to rush in, kill, get Jan, get out.

With the new wav files we see Jan, Gladys, and Jilly all ready for an all-out war against these guys. So now the good guys have a hand up, whereas they didn't know what they were up against before.

Now the whole mystery with this is who is Monster Ann and why did she want James dead? It's clear to me that she is a brand-new character (or a cameo appearance from one of Marge Simpson's twin sisters ).

Phaedra, I appreciate your advice, but do understand I'm not against SPEC in the slightest. I've just become a bit irritated at so massive a leap of faith with so little evidence to support it is being discussed as legitimate. I've seen many other threads of equally unlikely SPEC die after a few posts. It's kind of mind boggling that this particular idea took off so strongly.

Arana, you do raise some interesting points. However, the fact remains that he did not come armed in the slightest. There are numerous reasons for this; an issue of time or location. Remember that Gilly had been stockpiling for a considerable amount of time before the raid happened. Jim has only ever been observed using an M6 handgun. It's possible that Thin's goons informed him in a location where he could not gain access to a suitable weapon.

I guess my confusion can best be posed as a counter-question: In what way would a SPARTAN contribute to the neutralization subject to James James that is outside a non-SPARTAN's abilities? What, outside of how awesome a plot twist it would be, sparked the idea that *only* a SPARTAN could take down James?

Monster Ann is a flash clone of Gladys who, through cognitive manipulation, has been been given the memories of a covenant prophet. She wanted JJ dead because he reminded the covenant dormant personality too much of what john 117 did to the that holiest of space rings.
