    Dwarfs are unnatural.

    Truth! "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" was similar....though admittedly, there was SOME loose payoff (prevent Sylar from becoming invincible by killing the cheerleader to steal her healing powers). It didn't give the overall plot mystery (WHY do they have superpowers? Tattoo helix symbol or something? The

    I don't even think he'd need to consider us "ants" - that's what makes it morally grey and interesting. Seeing the "big strategic picture"....if you can't invade and liberate a single city like Dresden within a single day, then you carpet-bomb it to deny it to the enemy — thus helping the overall war effort. And

    She wasn't as great as some have hyped, but on the other hand, she was pleasant, and really helped condense numerous other minor characters from the books (instead of having "yet another whore" we get a single recurring character).

    Basically that's because the payoff for Jon comes in the second half of book 3, which will be adapted as Season 4.

    No spoilers: Season 4 will adapt the second half of book 3 (which is so long they had to split it into two seasons) — and Jon Snow gets more to do in the second half of book 3 than he has *in the entire novel series* up to this point. Up until now it's been backburnered, you get the feeling it will turn into a more

    Actually, I was referring to presence of the dwarf.

    Not considered "family friendly" in the grand scheme of things.

    I don't want "light and family friendly"! I want "Farscape"! I want Dune miniseries. I want BSG season 1. I want a rebirth of glory.
    I want things to be WHAT THEY USED TO *BE*!
    I want it all back. The way it *was*.

    Again, my running theory is that the Volm aren't actually evil, but "Earth is our Hiroshima/Dresden" - Earth is a low priority fringe planet, they've already said that we're not one of the more advanced races that Espheni are trying to invade. So the Volm's plan is to blow up Earth to deny it to the Espheni as a

    David Eick is the idiot who came up with the idea to put "they have a Plan" into the opening credits of Battlestar Galactica. Ron Moore okayed the idea, but it was Eick who came up with it. He is a Yes Man. He is the slimy used-car-salesman of a "producer" whose job is to shove off nonsense on us like "Bionic

    Have we fallen so low?

    Well I'm an Administrator on the Game of Thrones Wiki and ran my own Evangelion fansite (I stepped back from that due to thesis work)....though on the GoT Wiki I'm the proverbial hanging judge (I actually start my userpage with a quote from Judge Dredd, as seen here:

    Venom I think.

    Magneto was always a gray character, the problem was when the writers made him entirely evil, or entirely good. He was never supposed to "reform" or go totally bad; he had a difference of opinion and one not easily refuted. So the real problem there was inconsistent writing.

    Beethoven's alcoholic father beat him his entire childhood to make him practice constantly because he wanted to be famous as the father of the "next Mozart", because Mozart was famous for being a child prodigy.

    Ariel Castro's own family said they felt that the death penalty would just be a means of escape for him; death would be too good for him, basically, and I would gladly pay tax dollars to make sure he suffers in jail for the full length of the rest of his natural life. He deserves to rot.

    It doesn't take that much to be stronger than gravity; it is the weakest of the four fundamental forces (electro-magnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force)

    Ellaria Sand is not herself one of the "Sand Snakes"; they are the bastard daughters of Oberyn Martell. There are eight in all - the oldest four by various women, and Ellaria is the mother of the youngest four Sand Snakes - but she is not herself a Sand Snake.

    The question of a drone vs a cyborg man was actually sort of in the original: the utter failure of the "drone" ED-209 is what spurred OCP to focus on development of the Robocop program.
