Is it the wings?

I know what you mean, when someone's hyperbole is a turnoff, but FWIW I've read the first tpb of it and it's really very good. It is like Star Wars in the way that it's both space-opera epic and immediately relatable/"simple" feeling, and that kind of work is difficult to talk about without overstating a case.

Though apparently only some of the police can laugh about it with us.

Yeah. That makes sense. All those crazy non-humanoid robots... the world's just not made for them. A shame. I like the idea of experimenting with form and arrangement, but it's unlikely to ever be much more than just that: experimenting.

I love Big Dog.

I dunno. Boiling urine isn't what I'd call "disgusting things." Even if for some reason you have 1500 gallons of the stuff (though it's unclear: did he have a tank of 1500 gallons, all collected at once, or did the total of urine he went through over the course of many experiments add up to the sum of 1500 gallons?…

Personally, I like those suggestions, because they're new names, as far as I know... (Though the idea of meaningful names appeals more... OTOH, I don't know if we need any more things named after gods and fairies.)

"Honey, do you want to have kids someday?"

First,"...isn't that just the point of fiction, putting a new twist on the twelve basic plots that exist?" — Yes, yes it is. From a mechanical/creator's perspective anyway.

Right exactly (I mean, I don't know you or your age obviously... then again, the name "Dolemite" does suggest a certain era...)

That's interesting! Thank you!

Ack good lord, what a typo!

(by which I mean...) it delved deep into that issue, at least as deep as TNG and in many ways deeper. By virtue of their styles and approaches, TNG hit more topics, as each episode could be a fresh story to explore; where DS9 looked deeper into the many layers of fewer topics, so to speak. Do you want a lot of stories…

Oh, right, but I was thinking of the end of Memento (hence the tongue-in-cheek spoiler mention) — when it's revealed that Leonard killed his wife months ago, with Teddy's help, but that he wouldn't believe it himself because he felt no satisfaction from the revenge/from completing his quest... so he knowingly misled…

My reading comprehension skills failed me!

It wouldn't hurt to affect his life if you could convince him to stop spewing hate and controversy. Just sayin.

Good choice!

Man, this has been on my to-read list for too long.

Right, that's actually the point of the article, in a roundabout way.

If I may offer a SPOILER for a decade-old movie and a centuries-old model for ever western novel that's come since: they both involve broken/beaten-down protagonists who essentially write their own stories because it's easier to believe you're on a quest than to accept you're at the end of that road.
