Never mind this one, double posted.

One can never go wrong with Thomas Bergersen and Two Steps From Hell. I would have his entire catalog playing at all times in my house if I could. If life had a soundtrack, his music would be that.

I did a marathon reading of the manga right after the last episode was over. There have been some major revelations that I won't spoil that also add even more mysteries. Its been pretty damn awesome so far, but those clifffhangers, man. Those cliffhangers. The latest chapter has a pretty damn big one.

Apparently the…

Yeah, it looks more like a long peacoat, which, I think, looks cooler and classier than the typical trenchcoat.

Actually, it looks more like a knee-length long peacoat than a trenchcoat. There's a difference, I think peacoats look cooler and classier. I've got a long black peacoat as my default winter coat, and its cozy and classy as hell.

Thought Arnold already was in Skyrim, playing as the Whiterun guards.

I can imagine Valve trolling all of us and making Half-Life 3 a musical. that's something they'd do.

The preview for the upcoming episodes had a bunch of people wearing identical masks, so you may be onto something.

Yeah, they mentioned it and it might be a big theme of the show. Everyone knows about aliens and gods now, and everyone knows about the not-so-secret agency.

Anyone else catch that the interior layout of the SHIELDPlane was almost exactly the same as the Serenity? Not exactly, since Serenity was much larger and grungier and the storage bay was in the front rather than in the back as it is with the SHIELDPlane, but I was definitely getting Serenity vibes from it.

You've obviously never seen a Whedon show before. The guy loves the "quirky names for quirky girls" trope.

Buffy, Willow, Cordelia, Harmony, Drusilla, Fred, Kaywinnit Lee "Kaylee", River and many, many others. I'm sure Skye won't be the last "girl with a quirky name" on this show.

Hopefully it won't be DBZ/Naruto/Bleach/One Piece in length. Haven't read the manga, yet, waiting for the season to be over first. There seems to be an end-point: the basement door. Hopefully it won't be years until we get there.

My ideal length for a shonen series is the Fullmetal Alchemist manga and the Brotherhood…

Can't help but notice that they're all descendants of the same two cats. That island must be like the West Virginia of cats.

Yeah, I can't even see how they'll fit filler into the show given its structure. My guess is that they'll animate the prequel light novels as OVAs or movies next in order to give time for the manga to catch up. I think I'll be happy with that, since the light novels are canon and give some backstory, so they're not…

I agree, its a great anime for those who don't like anime. No fanservice, no brightly-colored hair, no exaggerated comedy(except for that one scene with Sasha jumping at Christa, but then again, a little bit of comedy every now and then is good for this kind of show, and she's a great source of it). And its not…

Keep watching. The training episodes are not anything at all like what the rest of the show is like. Let's just say that the episodes following the 4th episode are like the first episode, only that it gets even more bleak and then gets even more awesome. The "Holy Shit Quotient"rises exponentially.

I'm a graphic designer and I've done some experiments with minimalism, mainly during periods of boredom. Not insanely minimalistic like the ones in the article, but still minimalistic enough, I guess. Anyways, I just did these for practice.

Heh, yeah, when I think of the Sega logo, I think of this:

Prince Charming, played by Richard Madden from Game of Thrones

Oh, I can't wait to see how the climatic wedding scene turns out! I'm sure it'll be quite pleasant!
