Is it me or it looks like Artie is the great evil he fears and not Claudia? I am seeing that this is how it's going to be played — in some point Artie would have a mental breakdown (he is already spiraling) and going to try to do an equal evil like H.G. Wells tried to do but out of despair (maybe the whole becoming a…

After smallville ending narrated by a certain individual on the internets (you know, that guy who was fanboy screaming), every time I see superman footage of flight I think he will pop out and scream again (it's getting to become a wilhelm scream itself!), so thank you again for ruining these moments.

Yes I concur. Thanos is a short for thanatos (= death in ancient Greek and modern Greek). Thanatos is also a root for greek words and for greek words in other languages, such as thanatopsis (face of death). Thanatos is not a Titan; He was a god along with his brother Sleep, lying in the depths of Tartarus (the Hades…

The key phrase here is "enforced to live" not stuck. It's how the world foolishly works up to this day (property ownership) and our path to a very dystopian future.

There is always the file cake though... >.>

It's a nice idea, but only applicable to the public domain books I am afraid. Otherwise it's the same as subtitling a movie, which goes deep into the dungeon of intellectual property muck.

The most off translation I've ever read is about solaris (again in Greek). It was translated by a theatre writer (famous one), but it didn't make sense. Then again the movie was a completely different thing of understanding. I reread it in English recently and I loved it.

No I do read them in English, I mention the fact of the Greek edition.

Well, I haven't read 2061. I read recently 3001 and I liked it, having to put a closure to everything and that. I am trying to read rendevouz with rama now but the Greek translation is awful (it was a gift).

I have this in Greek translation along with 2001, which I found it sweet (which is a rather old one, the 1976 edition). I also have the 2010 foreward from Arthur C. Clarke which explains why he decided to write 2010 (it was all because of the movie success), which reminded me a little bit of an archaic Matrix. I was…

Actually a redefined trek "chapter" considering the 10 points mentioned would have to borrow elements from star wars and mass effect, because that's where the thing is going. They would have to create a bigger enemy than the Borg, something that would also threaten "travellers" such as the Q Continuum or Trevaine…

Also Kia Asamiya's Batman: Child of Dreams, is a great story even though in Manga form and it gets Batshit crazy in the end.

I was just thinking of it. It could fit perfectly.

Could Arkham Asylum be next or Arkham City?

"The creators are not shooting for a photo-realistic version of Gotham City, akin to what you see in the cut scenes of Batman: Arkham City, but a stylized version CG version."

Or stargates?

The mood change from funny to serious in less than an eye blink (wink wink). It's like having two episodes of whedon's usual plan (funny episode -> person dies, something really dramatically serious happens episode) in 1 second.

Arkham City!!!! Around 10 $. Bought it with skyrim last night and enjoying it.

Then what would the mirror universe have?

I think the first logical step is to create suits much alike the Human Drones in Starcraft. Single person suits that are used for mining and other heavy duty jobs in intro/exo-planetary operations. Once they have these small size in production they will be a valuable tool in building larger scale models.
