Funny, that Genesis Code movie runs on the same principle as that joke about the man who asks God how long one of his seconds is.

Placing Iroh on the throne is begging for an inheritance controversy. The man's old, and still has no heir. The best situation is Zuko on the throne with Iroh as regent for a few years.

I think I'm the only person in the world who thought the show handled the bender/non-bender plot in a clever way. The show sets up the tension from the beginning (one of the first conversations Korra has is with the Equalist town crier), and then follows it up with a series of examples: The firebending Triad guy, the

I kind of think of Amon's plan as being like Tarlock's: Become The Boss through saving everyone from a massive threat which is larger to the schemer than it is in reality. It may not be quite the same, just like how Tarlock's plan isn't quite the same as Yakonne's, but I imagine there are still parallels. It even

As much as I love Planescape: Torment, it probably isn't among the objectively best 100 games. The storyline and writing is excellent, but the combat engine is very clunky. While combat could mostly be avoided (something I love), that brings you face to face with the biggest problem of any Infinity Engine game: The

I know it's stupid question to ask, but why does Mr. Peabody himself need a nemesis? Couldn't you just take the Peabody short dynamic, apply it to a larger historical event, and make a movie about that?

I remember that they introduced the work-around during the Sinestro Corp. War thing, which is why I would have been really surprised if they eliminated that. The yellow weakness was stupid, and almost (almost!) only ever created stupid things, so bringing it back full force when they had just created a decent
