mswyrr:

None of the vampires he knew in his Big Bad days seemed to be the kind of people anyone with half a wit would trust. They were like… a bully’s lackeys? Only there as long as it benefited them. The supreme fair-weather friends! So I can imagine Hal might have several aliases and money squirreled away that nobody had to know about?

A bunch of fake IDs secreted away just in case, like a spy. lol That kind of thing. He would have learned a lot about politics over the years, and if there was some kind of power contest between him and another vamp some day, he’d want to be able to get away if need be.

Except that Cutler was their lawyer, and he’d probably know any aliases to handle the legal side of things, hmm… I could imagine Big Bad!Hal being paranoid enough to keep even some things from their lawyer, TBH. Especially if he was feeling particularly disaffected by the whole vamp lifestyle.

I don’t think he survived 500+ years without being a little paranoid and scrupulous. In fact, considering the whole vamp!Stalin dystopian future, it seems like scrupulousness and organization are skills that he retains no matter what. The only difference is what he does with them: carefully craft and maintain ways to control his bloodlust, be Big Bag Mobster Vamp, or be a supreme leader in the Shittiest Future Evar.

BTW, I still want to know why Leo kept to their agreement. It was certainly made under duress. What made him decide that living with this guy he had a lot of reason to hate was a good idea? I want to see them bond or, as i like to call it, fall in love. *g* I want it so badly. ((sighs))

So maybe Hal left everything, because as you wrote he likes doing things properly? It’s not like his hypothetical secret stashes of vampire money were made of honestly earned quids. He wasn’t just leaving the vampires there, he was leaving a certain way of life.

As for Leo… idk, maybe he found out that he with his dream of quiet decent quality life (with a safe cellar for wolf transformations) has more to do with Hal than with other warewoves, resembling Tully or McNair? After all, Hal wanted a life apart from his nature (and, hmm, his dominant culture) too. Or maybe Leo just pitied Hal enough?

Tom: Why aren’t you loaded anyway? Vampires live forever. Even with a basic bank account your compound interest would be through the roof.
Hal: A series of unwise investments before the crash.

Let’s take a moment to savor the fact that Hal, 500 year old vampire, is the 99% okay? LOL. In BH-verse, Wall Street bankers’ victims include billions of humans and one reformed vampire.

Too awesome for words.

anyone ever thought of the possibility that he might have meant the crash in the 20s? he might not have had time to build up a fortune again from that point.

Yes, I always assumed he meant the crash in the 20s.

I was thinking that the decades between then and 1955 would provide ample opportunity to make money, though. That is the time period during which America became super freaking rich, after all. The UK experienced economic problems after WWII, right? But if he’d invested in the right companies abroad… While he was still Big Bad Vamp, he could have done underhanded things like coercing people into making him the benefactor of their wills and stuff, too.

TBH I’ve thought Hal just fobbed Annie&Tom off here. When he decided to leave with Leo, he made everyone believe he was dead, so obviously he had to leave all his money behind. And then he had to get of blood and part of it was being far from people, so I assume the trio’s income came only from Leo’s little barber’s shop.

King is back on. Scott and Bailey is back on. Oh hello, my favourite shows about kickass lady cops juggling their careers and private lives.

King, omgosh, King. FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE SHOW. IT IS SO FANTASTIC, WTH.

:) People don’t know what they’re missing out on!

If The Doctor (11th Doctor) is still alive and Jack Harkness is still around, how come Jack Harkness isn’t on Doctor Who anymore?

I don’t see why they can’t pair the two of them up. The did it with Doctor’s 9 and 10. 

Why not 11?

Jack was supposed to be in A Good Man Goes to War, but John Barrowman was busy filming Miracle Day.
