Dave's full of shit. He's not the God, he's just a god. He's not even a particularly impressive god, he's the god who fucks around with some kind of property management licensing paperwork or some shit.. like one of those really, really specific spirits out of some Japanese folk-legend or some shit.

It's because I don't give a fuck about Nigeria, but I do give a fuck about the books I read and the TV shows that I watch. Does that make me a terrible human being? Sure. Does the Juggernaut give a fuck? No, bitch, no he does not.

You can, but why would you?

Many people are wrong. Her initial refusal is based more on their location, and the potential-scandal of being caught… but, as the text very clearly explains, she is 100% into it as things go on, her sense of propriety overcome by her desire for her brother.

They are being very, very sarcastic. Did you read the White House's response to the demand that we begin construction of a Death Star?

… except for their whole mind-control, re-education camps and caste-based system, sure, the Tau are "good guys".

I have expressed the idea that the late 1600s were not exactly a society based on social equality, and given the mindset of the times, I don't find it particularly abhorrent that people perceived to be witches were killed. Were they? We'll probably never know. We have the idea now that they weren't, but I wonder how…

Oh, I'm not looking for credible history in a television show about sexy witches, just stating that the premise of the story here is not exactly out of left field.

Well, we do, sort of. I mean, there's the whole "Malleus Maleficarum" witch-hunting manual and all the shit the Inquisition claimed. And if you want to go literal-translation of the Bible, when Moses (Or was it Aaron? I forget… one of them) met with Pharoh and turned his staff into a snake, Pharoh's own…

Actually, if your water tastes funny, you best go ask Namor or that Aqua-Lad dude. They are into some kinda weird shit, I dunno.

When it comes to witches, you can't afford the risk that any get away. That's how you get your water-supply turned into an assload of flies.

Yup.

Word! Which is why I can't really fault the people of 16-whatever for being freaked the fuck out by the idea that there were witches around them. Witches be some scary shit!

Mercy is the sin of the foolish.

The same argument can be made on the Salem Witch Trials, however. Given the philosophy of the time, if they hadn't done something, they might have all been setting themselves up for having Satan, Himself rise up out of the ground with a horde of daemonic forces to drag the goodly people of Salem into eternal torment.

Um… yes that's correct. You hunt the right witches, and everything is good. That is how that works. Witches do not have you, or your communities', best interests in mind. They will sell you, body and soul (most especially "and soul") to daemonic entities in exchange for power and favors from the Ruinous Powers. …

Hmm, I dunno. Has it ever been conclusively proven that the women hanged in Salem weren't witches? I mean, sure, here in C21 we like to think that magic and devils and shit like that aren't real… but do we actually have any proof that they weren't? I mean, maybe they were all pyromancers, which is why they didn't…

Machine guns don't go "ack ack", they go "DAKKADAKKADAKKA!"

All corners in Siberia are harsh. It just goes without sayin'.

Nah, Burl, there's no jet-packs, laser guns, cars or anything like that. It's, like, a historical-drama story based on the War of the Roses that happens to have some swords-and-sorcery shit going on in the background.
