It's dark, but 70 years have passed....wouldn't the professor have simply died from old age at some point? There's no reason to suspect foul play.

Yeah, the petty cruelty and manic glee are disturbing in a man trying to act so arrogant and dignified....the "glee" part, childish glee starting to peek through...an unsettling combination.

All of the other comments are saying what I'm thinking. Also your review: yeah the original Iroh voice actor died, and the new one is okay, there's just no replacing the original, but I understand they can't change this. Literally jumped out of my chair, mind blown, when she meets Iroh's spirit as a guide.

I have…

Beat me to it. It's the goddamned raft: megacorps tired of dealing with "nation-states" just build floating-city superbarges which exist in international waters.

(I was using the old liar's paradox, hoping your answer would be a tongue-in-cheek "no"...which, if you were a "professional liar", would mean you're lying. I read some obscure quote of your wikipedia article about being a "professional liar")

Cadfael was great! Though as I'm a medieval history student it's complete pandering to me: he's an 11th century monk who solves crimes in his spare time! The idea practically writes itself! (I imagine that say, meteorology students are big into stories about weathermen...who solve crimes in their spare time, etc.)

Is it better to strive for social-political change non-violently or violently? (Professor Xavier vs. Magneto).

We all want to change the world. I want a revolution. I'm talking about destruction!

If you had to pick, what is your favorite word in the English language?

There's a lot of talk these days about starting a new Star Trek live-action TV series. This has led to heated debate over the makeup of a new cast: number of women, non-white characters, LGBT characters.

Given that a Trek cast usually consists of about seven members, off the top of your head, what would be your…

Is Humanism necessarily a rejection of religious belief?

(I never much followed religion, but like Socrates, I loosely like to hope that, for all we know, death is either 1 - migration of consciousness to another place with the consciousnesses of the other departed, who you get to interact with, or 2 - the oblivion of…

Are you a "professional liar"?

There are a lot of remakes these days; just this year we saw a "Carrie" remake (btw, what are your thoughts on Carrie as a good/bad feminist story?). Do you feel that the 1990 adaptation of The Handmaiden's Tale should ever be remade, or was that version perfect? (in the sense that Harper Lee said that the film…

Much of past women's literature has been written with internal monologue. One of the issues with making the Handmaiden's Tale film was that so much of the novel is based on the inner monologue of one woman. This was of course thematic - of society limits how women could speak and behave in public, there's a…

I realize that Handmaiden's Tale left this ambiguous, but where exactly are all of the "colonies/homelands" mentioned in the novel? We only see things from the protagonist's perspective.

How the heck did Gilead reconcile all of its extreme beliefs with actual "Christianity"? "kill homosexuals", heavy patriarchy, concubine-handmaidens, etc. - are picked out of Old Testament references, blatantly superseded by even a basic child-level reading of the New Testament. There was little if any "Christ" in…

I thought it kind of prescient that Handmaiden's scenario for how women's entire social standing was taken away....was that Gilead simply took over and expunged all of the electronic financial records. Does it particularly worry you that we're even more reliant on electronic financial records now?

Is Crake supposed to be outright insane, misguided, or insane...but the product of an amoral society? That is, was Crake "born bad", or was the lack of moral oversight - letting him grow up watching snuff movies about animal cruelty and the like - what created him? For that matter, what about the bad characters in…
