    Bronn's one of the few characters in the books who actually stands on his own merits and actually earns his way up the social ladder; i.e. he becomes Tyrion's retainer/enforcer by winning a duel at the Eyrie.

    "Considering the episode was called The Night Lands, there was relatively little of Dany down under, but then again her adventures at this point are a little slow anyhow. "

    Indeed on her appearance.

    In terms of abilities...kind of. But even the Delvians had more punch than them.

    the Dark Energy ending has flaws but still sounds superior; remember that we've only heard fragments of it; I give it the benefit of the doubt that it might have been explained better in the full version.

    Then they have no idea how to market (yes I'm aware of the 90's claymations) — if "adults" find children's comments on superheroes funny....teenagers to college-aged students aren't in that age bracket; its a show marketed to teenagers but the joke would only apply to children or adults.

    Why wouldn't I be? My friends and I groan through those claymation shorts; they're recycled poop jokes.

    The basic plot is basically "What if in the Babylon 5 universe, it turns out that the Shadows made Babylon 5 itself, as well as all of the Jump Gates?" All of the "Ancients" we heard about that were suspected of making Jump Gates were just the last in a long chain of races the Shadows destroyed. The whole setup of

    "Twi'leks and the Minbari had babies" is right. I can never take the Asari seriously; they're a race of Mary Sues.

    What? That's the way you LIKE'em?! (Sealab 2021, "I Robot Really")

    What idiot decided that the claymation shorts are funny? Young Justice is a dark and mature show obviously aimed at an audience in the above 10 years old range.

    Ferris Buellerian.

    Going back through Moore's podcast for the BSG finale based on the comments here; yeah, at the beginning he has this whole speech about how he decided to stop worrying about the Plot and focus on "how would these characters react in this situation"?"

    I'm sorry, I'm an Anime reporter — I mean, I've actually had articles published in Anime magazines (using a pen name). But I'm not really up for Futurism.

    I actually support the "Relics" retcon as a "might as well" or "Hey, Kirk's cheated death so many times before...." (as SF Debris' hilarious review pointed out, in which in a Doohan voice he had Scotty pointing out that Riker, Worf, and La Forge have all been "presumed dead" multiple times).

    Dear God yes, I remember that: patting himself on the back that "The Opera House is really CIC!" was a brilliant answer....while simultaneously admitting, in as many words, that he never thought of what it meant until he was quite literally writing that scene in the finale.

    1 - ....I'm actually deeply saddened that the typical obnoxious "Jersey Shore" style college frat boy "looking for a hookup" stereotypical male......is in the overwhelming numerical majority. You're entirely right, I like to think the world is better than that, or at least my local environment in the USA is like

    I vaguely suspect that the reference to the "Near-Apocalypse of 09", made in the second-to-last season of Justice League (Unlimited) was referring to the invasion of Earth by Darseid's Apokalyps in the *series* finale of the final season.

    Oh the answer is more simple than that:

    That was never presented as a mystery, and indeed, both Q and (more sympathetically and directly) Quinn emphasized that they are not truly "Gods" to use that human word, they're beings from a higher plane of existence, albeit from a human perspective they are functionally omnipotent (at least, within our realm of
