might his GoT schedule be a problem? If not,

amazing idea.

i'm at work now, but the title alone has already convinced me :D

care to enlighten me what's so fabulous about this Aquaman? (honest question, haven't seen the cartoon)

guess the point may also be that Antman has a pretty different skillset - remember when Joss Whedon talked about the punchy powers of the Avengers? So you get a character that's different enough from the established ones, which in turns begets a story written to that special skillset - and that should take care of any

shoulda read that somewhere a year ago, or earlier still. Probably would've taken my grandma for granted just the same, cause she was always there, other people die, but she's still got a couple of years left. So much unsaid, so many moments uncherished. stupid hindsight.

so, is Weaving going to play General Thrawn?

The more i hear this argument, the more i disagree. It seems like a big cop-out, letting the AoS showrunners/Whedon/ABC off the hook for a shitty TV show.

depends on what you define as real. and like i said, if it's just code, it's sad. if it's sentience, real artificial intelligence, then it's more than just programmed.

the relationship Theodore has is not with the inanimate object, but with the sentience that is inside that object. and there is an argument to be made that relationships (of the worthy kind) are always with the sentience of someone, more than with the body...

kinda depends on where you fall in the ai debate.... if you believe in digital personhood (tm?), it's avantgarde but not sad. if you believe "she" is just a pile of code without real sentience, then it is kinda sad.

if you know your german, enjoy :)

don't the people at the back of the rope perceive their input to be less (since it's more or less dependent on the person before you)? maybe the solution would be to fray the rope into 5-12 ends, so no one stands behind another and everyone feels a direct way to enforce the pull?

I could be way more patient waiting for an overall plot if the characters were any kind of interesting. I know it sucks to compare it to Firefly (apples and oranges on many levels), but i'd trade any one of the AoS actors for a FF alumni. The actors are bland and generic, the roles themselves are bland and generic -

let's put cyanide in the ground powder of the elephant tusks. after a few thousand buyers die (and they are just as much at fault as the people doing the actual killing), the market should collapse.

damn, how i loved the Kelewan trilogy... And Arutha. And Jimmy. And the young Pug. Good memories.

Does anyone know if this is maybe connected to some event in Feist's life? Didn't he get divorced some time after the end of Serpent War? Cause i agree, the first ones were great and wonderful. Princes of Blood, the King's Buccaneer... But then it just got stale after Serpent War's end
