I wouldn’t say I’m dead set on hating the movie. In fact, I wouldn’t say that I hated the movie. Typically a movie has to do something pretty bad to make me hate it, a la NuTrek or Man of Steel. I didn’t like it either, it was just pretty boring. Action without substance.

I didn’t really come up with a background for…

I’ve been with them when they’ve come to the aid of a nearby caravan, and they’ve only recently come to the scene (though I don’t believe they’ve ever been much for farming). Their first order is to collect new tech, but they do help the nearby populace out by removing unsavory elements who will kill AND take without…

I like how me not being a parent is apparently worse than you being a morally bankrupt one. Classy move!

Well, considering he just got blown up last episode despite being nowhere near his father, it seems like perhaps the fact that people in this universe are constantly surrounded by danger. Your job as a parent is only partly to keep your kid safe. You could put your kid in a damn bunker for their entire life too, but…

My thoughts as well. I’m not sure what monster I’m thinking of, but there is one where you take the ashes (or pieces of the body) separate it into different containers, and then place them on opposite corners of the Earth from one another. They have the time and money, so there was really no excuse to leave him there…

What moral person would deny someone the chance to know their child due to the actions of others? Moira was exonerated and has already said that she performed those actions because Merlyn killed her husband and she feared for the life of her daughter (not true, but believed). He was close to Tommy Merlyn, who was…

It is Oliver’s kid too, and the mom has no room to talk. She accepted a check (even if she never cashed it) of a million bucks to hide the baby from Oliver. For what is actually known about Oliver, her actions are inexcusable. You don’t steal a child away from a parent.

Not to be “that guy” but would the team name of “Farroh” (while being a bit more on the arrow end of things) not only signify the Flash and Arrow bits (F/H from Flash, obviously, and the mid bits from Arrow) but also the Harkpeople?

Technically you have the ability to vote for people in power and the some of the laws in your area in our government, but I get what you’re going at there. Soldiers are a definite need, but it’s a lot of the other crap we’re forced to pay for that we get nothing out of that stands my hair up on end. At least you have…

Here’s the thing: The Brotherhood is collecting technology because humanity can’t be trusted with it. They’re saying that the reason we ended up with the great war or even Synths is because humanity can’t be trusted with that high level of technology. We’ve not really seen that they’re wrong, and they’re certainly a…

I’m not very far along in Fallout still, but I have run into situations where my character’s charisma can help. For example, I picked up the “Lady Killer” perk early and used it to send the Gangster’s girlfriend away after I had rescued the Detective. The Gangster still wanted to fight, but I was able to talk him down…

No worries about the self plug! Person’s gotta eat! I think I’m generally okay in terms of Star Wars books. Except for the Clone Wars era the only thing I haven’t really been able to get into are the comics (not for lack of interest, just general cost) and the new post-OT canon. I even have “Allegiance” signed by the…

From what we’ve heard... no. Here’s the accepted head-canon from nearly everyone who has been interested in Rogue Squadron since “The Empire Strikes Back”.

After the near total destruction of Red Squadron at the Battle of Yavin IV, Luke Skywalker starts a unit called Rogue Squadron which proceeds to fight in battles…

Just re-read Han Solo at Star’s End and was thinking about pushing through the other two... but I can’t really say they’re up there for me. I certainly would rank them below the other Han Solo trilogy in the EU. I won’t say that I don’t love Brian Daley, though, because I listen to the NPR Star Wars Radio Dramas near…

I had to go to Wookiepedia because I forgot about that entirely! I wouldn’t say I wasn’t affected but... I wasn’t that deeply affected.

Gotcha! Thanks for the intel, I’ve just never really broken into that era of novels. I’ve read some KOTOR novels and the Bane Trilogy, plus some of the closer Han Solo Trilogy/Death Star/Tarkin/Darth Plageuis... but can’t really get into the actual clone wars era. You seem to have good taste though, so I’ll give them…

I haven’t read either of those because... you know... pre-OT that isn’t about Sith... I figured it would probably not be very good. Would you rank these two above the Zahn/X-Wing series?

I love the X-wing series. I do. However... there are some issues not mentioned above. The biggest of which I have whenever I read the Stackpole books, where each chapter ends so damned dramatically. There always has to be some big line or some reason to panic at the end of the chapter, and it often conflicts with what…

The problem I have with Glenn’s escape wasn’t the fact that it happened, it was the fact that they clearly were lying to their audience. That is the credibility issue. The other moments he mentioned don’t compare at all! Tyreese was in the middle of the herd, sure, but he showed up a few minutes later. Merle was…

Fine! Let’s say that’s true. Please tell me what I’m leaving out. You’re not the first I’ve asked but you’d certainly be the first to answer if you provided anything of substance. ANYTHING.
