*shrugs* It's still fun to play in, and the thing about the Fade is that it's not simply where daemons live. Like the warp it's a reflection of the mortal world in many ways, so you have spirits of justice and love as well as spirits of lust and rage. It's just that the more dangerous ones are far more likely to…

Really, thus far I've read several reviews that say that the characters are actually one of the best bits in terms of being fun companions that you grow attached to and actually develop organically over the course of the story.

Battlestar Galactica always had some rather wonderful spaceship shots/battles.

Whedon says he's leaving to do his own thing. Marvel asks him to reconsider and turns up with a small van full of money. Whedon refuses, saying he has artistic integrity and wants to fulfill his own creative vision, slamming the door in the Marvel execs faces.

Or, and I may just be being cynical, some companies will do that. Whilst others will start discriminating against Women when hiring even more than they do now. "We've got two candidates, one who is the best qualified for the job, and a another who isn't quite so qualified." "What's the problem, hire the better one."…

I think he's referring to the final season of Angel which happened after season 7 of Buffy.

Well the real reason is because its better looking for the viewers. At the same time, if memory serves, all Federation vessels with the saucer have phaser banks on the top and bottom making their orientation effectively moot.

"with Resident Evil-like rotational movement"

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw Skye in that hood was that she looks an awful lot like an Assassin from the Assassin's Creed games.

And even if that figure was remotely accurate they'd still more than recoup their losses from the 20% who do buy the game.

I think the thing this most reminds me of is that one of the chief reasons I loved the first Captain America movie was the relationship with Steve and Peggy. For a couple of reasons, first because it develops rather naturally, there isn't the cliche that a lot of action/thriller movies fall into whereby the…

I shall be cautiously optimistic. If it manages to get enough funding it would be rather interesting to see what story JMS picks for the film, and also whether as a reboot of the series whether he'd be sticking to the broad plot strokes of the original or whether he'll be starting with the basic universe much as it…

Plus, of course, Timothy Hunter is, y'know, scarily powerful. Whereas Harry Potter is... well he's just not.

If memory serves in Mad Max 2 when Humungus' gang captures two of the guys from the oil group they tie them to the front of their trucks just like Max is here, so it's probably a call back to that more than it is the other.

The thing most people tend to forget is that the Dark side isn't necessarily about being evil all the time. A lot of it is about power and control which on the face of it is bad. However if you consider the state of the Republic at it's end... well there is much to be said about it being in dire need of a bit more…

*shrugs* At least it's a Swansea accent and not from somewhere in the valleys.

There is a little too much of his Welsh background creeping into the accent, I agree. But... it's a minor thing in my mind. Some actors don't do accents well but can still embody the characters they play with enough vigour and dedication that the accent becomes something almost superfluous. That was how I felt with…

The problem is that justice should not simply be a matter of punishment. Punishment alone doesn't do an awful lot to prevent repetition of criminal behavior, indeed the current US system where the majority of time is spent on punishment seems to have amplified the problem of recidivism due to economic and social…

Not a waste of time for other people who stumble upon the recommendation!

I'd disagree, to explore new systems all you need is a unmanned automated probe with decent sensors and a way to talk to the nearest staging post with the reactor capacity to beam in other things. The probe enters a system, scans it, and then sends the data back to Starfleet. If the system has any scientific merit…
