Conveniently dropped in the lap of people to whose prophecied messiah you bear an uncanny resemblance!

I too find that H and E are *loaded* with great ideas and good storytelling, and the sequels are pretty well out of ideas, and (at most) are more concerned with wrapping stuff up.

I find myself (even in my 40's) gravitating toward the names and subgenres that were popular in my childhood as well, even long before I would ever read them. My dad keeps closer tabs on current sci-fi than I do and I find it's often either impenetrably deep-dive shit where you need an encyclopedia of the author's own…

Don't you get it? It's a fictitious character now.

If "Alex Jones" is a character, it's perfectly above-board for us to call for his death. Just like we want…I dunno, whatever the 2017 version of Nikki and Paolo out there are, we want them dead.

Just cleave it alone.

Always used to confuse here with Stephanie Beacham.

Just started Swords Of Steel II, the second anthology of fantasy short stories by heavy metal musicians. There *should* be a third volume - Byron Roberts' stories in particular are explicitly a trilogy - but it doesn't come out until May 21.

A pox on the fox that can box the most cox.

Goddammit Luke, don't you get it? If the Jedi end, there won't be any more Jedi.

Opening day!

Y'all are picking some basic shit, AVClub. Rabin could pull like three dozen amazing picks way worse than anything listed here. He has suffered terribly for us.

Smokers have generally internalized our disdain; last I checked vapers will vape absolutely fucking anywhere where they're not immediately threatened with the loss of their livelihood over it.

Do claws gnash? I don't think claws gnash.

I'm happy to welcome Rey into the gingersphere, but still, I'm like whaaa

Yeah. I'm kinda half-assedly assuming that they're the ones who burned the building because they're the ones with the wood-burning oven, but I could be totally wrong on that score. (the second floor was on fire while everybody on the first floor was oblivious and had to be told they were in a burning building!)

Hmm…the bagels at Wayne's Bagels here were supposed to be terrific, but then they burned the whole building down a couple of weeks ago. Which takes with them the second cajun/creole joint around here that lasted about three weeks.

Actually they communicate through hip-hop beats.

I don't remember exactly when this was - it was either late S1 or early S2 of GOT, but there was a scene where Danerys was speaking Dothraki with somebody and about halfway through it my jaw dropped, suddenly realizing how good, how much like a real language it sounded. Most of these made-up languages are very halting…

"MOON GOD?"
