Fun to read as always. One thing I didn't quite understand though: in what way exactly would Iraq war flashbacks ruin Terry character-building? I get that less can be more, but Terry has been Terry The Lovably Traumatized Vet for five years. Why NOT give us more his history-assuming they do a good job with it?

Clearly her alien pregnancy gave her super-powers.
Yeah but these are FUTURE pain-killers!
Maybe it's Damon's apology for the final episode of 'Lost.' In that, we got God Solves Everything. Here we get God(s) just being the start of our confusion . . .
About sixteen paragraphs spent plumbing the cornucopia of ways to phrase two thoughts: 1) Here is what you think about sword-fighting. 2) It is wrong, and you were silly for thinking it. Fair enough, but that was all there for us in the article's title, which motivated us to click onwards, due to the tacit expectation…

Yeah! You know what would be even more badass? If they killed him, like, in the beginning of the movie. 15 minutes in! That would be awesome!

Neutral evil wouldn't be a compromise in this case, because neutral evil is not a…
Your description of Varys sounds far more Lawful Neutral than Neutral Good. "Dedicated to the preservation of peace and social order, Varys remains unconcerned about where his work takes him and the kind of dirt he might have to uncover. His priority is to ensure stability in the Seven Kingdoms." Definitely sounds…

How about words that ARE translatable, just not real. I want my garmonbozia. Yours too.
Definitely second that.
Ah! So instead of it being overblowingly stupid like it was last time, this time it will just be minimalistically stupid with the addition of shaky cam. How delightfully refreshing.

Sci-fi/fantasy and electronic/experimental/concept/just-plain-out-there music go together to such an extent that this whole endeavor isn't so much academic as it is a bouquet of interesting, diverse, and simply awesome taste. 100 is an arbitrary number, and you could just as well make it 1000. Here's my contribution:…
