Of course, the average album price I pay is generally $5-7 thanks to various Amazon promotions, and I feel like you could easily get away with charging that for 4-6 songs. Hell, for people who buy singles, that's about the going rate already.

No leather jogging pants?

Where can you get the Dunk and Egg novellas? I've seen them as parts of larger anthologies, but if they're collected anywhere I wouldn't mind using them to get my Westeros fix.

Ted's angry calisthenics right before asking about that girl's boyfriend were possibly my favorite part of the episode. Also great- Robin and Barney's various synchronized high-fives.

Or they recorded the scene with Shepard first, then just played it over a speaker or into an earpiece so Hannigan could lip-sync to it.

Yes, but she should have had to stop Linus from immediately refurnishing her with another one. Ah well, he was probably busy with everyone being in the bar.

So she ends up with the lead guitarist in the wedding band?

I haven't clicked all the way down because this article has a ridiculous number of posts, but I don't see a point where I misquote anyone or quote without attribution. I quote Thomas Hobbes and Arex, but I don't put words in their mouths, and the one letter I put in I set off with brackets. If there's a post where…

Exactly. The wording always states that those people "mastered" bending with the help of their respective spirit entities. Notice the firebenders before Wan- they just throw fireballs like you'd hurl any weapon. It's not until Wan lives among the spirits that he "masters" the airbending. I imagine the same is true…

Language that draws from one cultural background can be used to explain a different cultural background, and if used with enough expertise, can even reveal that two seemingly dissimilar concepts actually have a lot in common. Thank you for letting me know I don't yet possess that level of expertise.

Hold your freakin' horses, man. We've had two episodes that have engaged these concepts. I imagine there will be some development of them as the show proceeds.

No, Raava didn't say that, but to my limited understanding that's a common duality between order and chaos- chaos provides needed vitality to the world, and if we didn't have it, we'd all eventually become celibate monks and waste away.

But asking why God put the fruit there isn't a question about the Problem of Evil. It's a question about Minor Inconsistencies In The Structure Of A Story Attempting To Explain The Problem of Evil. Looking at the question can reveal some interesting assumptions, but demanding an explanation for everything in a myth…

Point of order: quotation marks are used to set off writing that someone else said. I never wrote "otherwise you wouldn't have a story," and I'd appreciate it if you don't quote me as saying so. It misrepresents my position and is borderline dishonest.

I would hope a person named "Mythagoras" would have a better understanding of creation myths than is implied by calling them "a bunch of cliches strung together."

Replace "The Avatar" with "Humanity" and you have an equally true sentence.

I'm aware of the traditional explanations, I'm just using that as an example of how people tend to fixate on exactly the wrong things when discussing these stories.

Raava was weakened because without order to keep chaos in control, chaos spreads quickly, and without chaos to spur order to action, order gradually atrophies and fades. Keeping things in balance requires a constant and eternal engagement with darkness and chaos, and if you stop struggling at any point, more chaos…

Raava and Vaatu were destroying everything- in one small valley, affecting the immediate spirits. When he releases Vaatu (and it's important to note that he doesn't really hurt Raava that bad, it's just the action of trying to separate the two that gives Vaatu his strength) that struggle extends to the larger world.
