The pattern is basically a V-shape on one cheek, an upside-down V on the other cheek, and a long strip going up the forehead from nose to hairline.

You can use facepaint patterns to confuse face-recognition software.
The Zentradi women instantly fall in love with ANY human male because they don't know what love is until they met humans. It's the ultimate fanboy fantasy; they "fly around space, saving planets, and teaching green skinned alien women about this new human emotion called 'love'..." Don't delude yourselves. Plus,…

"He's the only Vulcan who shows his pecs and hides his face. What's that about?" The pon farr is shielded with ritual, and customs shrouded in antiquity. You humans have no conception.
It could work in a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kind of way.
Where soon they will write the greatest novel known to man!
The thing that amazes me about Anime is that...a lot of the best stuff came before 1990. The Japanese stock market crashed in 1990 and in many ways never truly recovered; the 1990's were the "Lost Decade", but many would say its really been a lost TWO decades. At any rate, back in the 1980's they had so much money…
I actually still have my mother's old Barbara Remington editions of the Hobbit and LOTR....well, except for "The Two Towers". I forget what happened but I think she loaned it to a friend in the late 1970's who never returned it, so around 1999 we just bought a one-off paperback of TTT out of sequence. Frankly I'm…
The big thing to learn is that the world isn't out to get you or something; small children think everyone's out to get them, revenge fantasies, etc. The truth is arguably more horrifying.... people's lives can be destroyed by collective apathy. I mean the point where you realize that teachers who should be…
Fans are usually willing to forgive minor plot contradictions if it's good story. People just like to forget that X-Men Origins: Wolverine ever happened. This fixes many problems.

The H-Man explains.
You are wrong. "Istari" is the Elvish word for "Wizard"; Wizards are on the White Council, but so are powerful Elf lords.
No, no not Kara Thrace. Apart from the fact that that plotline was ridiculous, it doesn't really apply; in the final version, they said Kara was an Angel or something but even she did not know what the heck she was - I believe you remember her agonizing over this.
"Wizards" in Tolkien's legendarium are not human beings. It specifically refers to a small group of only five beings. They are basically incarnate Angels that have descended into human form; they *have* no families. How can Gandalf have a biological cousin when Gandalf has no parents? (in a loose sense Eru…
He described him as his "cousin" to Beorn, but I always took that as in the sense of "kinsman" — i.e. they're both basically "incarnate angels" who have descended into human form (thus, sort of "kinsman", or "children of the men of god", etc.)
Oh dear god I think they're going to kill Radagast; thus Gandalf gets his staff. This would be to explain why he isn't in the LOTR trilogy. My HOPE is that instead, they just have Radagast more or less do what happened in the books; decide that this warfare has harmed the forest too much, and even if they "won" the…
People I know who write fanfiction told me they felt deeply hurt by this column, as if it was mocking all fanfiction by picking the worst of examples.
This is why Mammals have DNA methylization and epigenetic inheritance; a "genetic arms race" between rival parents. This in turn is why you can't just splice together the DNA of same-sex couples to produce a healthy embryo; mammalian DNA needs both a mother and a father.
He doesn't want to outrun the lion, just outrun the rest of us.
