Hah... probably because in the many decades Marvel's been running, they've pretty much run the gamut of possible powers. ;)

'The Kindness of Strangers' my foot. >_<... but then again, it's also a very apt title depending on whom you consider a 'stranger'. ^^ Poor girl...

"It ... doesn't end well." ... I love this show and its foreshadowing. ^^

I also agree... an online game with a continually changing world needs a monthly fee to function... and I'd argue that some single or small group games could need periodic fees as well to support the development costs. To be honest, however, those Korean MMOs with 'cash shops' may be an even better idea for sustaining an online game without actually charging a per-month fee.

TFMF: It's the grinning black mask of a character that keeps popping up in my writing. Of course, that guarantees that nobody'd know what it means. ^^ ... and that typing to bashing thing is a classic. 8.5 / 10.

Heh... 7.5 / 10... although that's because of my preference for the more recent 'It's a FAAAAKE!' piece of trekkiness. ^^

oO... there's a difference between the two? XD Aaaanyways... that looks about average for decent Star Trek DVD sets, pricewise... unless you're getting Chinese knockoffs at a tenth of the price.

Yep... the spambots are getting cleverer and cleverer... :/

Nice cult manifesto... but I'm not interested in cults, especially ones that deliberately tell you to suspend disbelief and which are based entirely on works of fiction mixed with pseudometaphysical babble and garnished with horrible, horrible grammar... And 2) why make two topics when one would have done perfectly well? That is spamming, y'know...

I'm really starting to suspect that Claire doesn't feel pain at all... or at least, not to the same degree that normal people feel it. As for the twins, it seems that the twin has the power to absorb and neutralize his sister's power... maybe he could do that with other people with powers? Peter or sylar would probably make 'im explode, though. XD As for Maya's power... what IS that? "I kill people by making their eyes bleed ink!" Maybe her power is the ability to create a very specific disease, and her brother's ability is to cure it? As for the Kenzo scenario... it was obvious that it was going in that direction the moment he took his mask off.

My question is... when time travel and changing past and future comes into play, how can there BE continuity? ^^ ... I just figure that if things match continuity after all the time tinkering is done, then it's all good.

Final Fantasy 12 = .ff/TACTICS... it has the setting and a story from the Final Fantasy Tactics world, and single player MMOish gameplay like .hack.

No, you're a total weirdo for thinking that watching a movie based on a book will tell you anything about the book it's based on other than its genre (and sometimes not even that!) Don't rate a book by watching it's movie... read the book. In this case, I've seen the movie, but haven't read the book... so I can't comment on the quality of the book, not having read it. As for 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' (i.e. the book 'Blade Runner' is based on)... yeah, the book and movie are also significantly different, and I much prefer the book.

Two was best, three was the worst. (... so nyaaah! XD)

Y'know, I always figured that something billed as being 'slim' would actually be, well... slimmer than the original. I mean, the PSP Slim really should be called "PSP FlatEdge with TV"... that'd be accurate, at least. -_-'

This theme's so cool, my tongue got stuck to my monitor! <_<... >_>... whaaaaat?

It was probably a winner in one of those 'You can be on Star Trek!' contests that happened back in the day... either that, or they were VERY hard-up on fill in actors for miscellaneous roles like that one.

I liked both versions. The manga version has more of a central theme, and both Elric brothers end up being able to do the 'no drawn circle' alchemy (after all, they both saw the Door...) but the anime made better use of Edward's lost limbs. The background in the manga is definitely a lot more complicated than that of the anime, but I liked the origin of the Homunculi in the anime better than that of the manga. They both have strong stories, and I strongly recommend watching / reading them both. ^^ The anime is also a lot lighter in theme than the manga (which focuses more on the Ishvalan Genocide and the horrors most of the State Alchemists were ordered to do, and has few of the funny side stories they add into the anime).

Well... the anime veers off half way through, but since the manga is ongoing 'halfway' doesn't really apply... and a few of the Homunculi are totally different or given different sins in the anime: Lust, Gluttony, Envy (anime) = Lust, Gluttony, Envy (manga) Sloth (anime) = liquid manipulating homunculus, nonexistant in manga. Sloth (manga) = insanely huge and strong guy, rather stupid... nonexistant in anime Greed (anime) = Greed (manga). Wrath (anime) = nonexistant (manga) Pride (anime) = Wrath (manga) Pride (manga) = nonexistant (anime) ... of course, that's understandable given the anime finished before many of the later homunculi were introduced in the manga. Basically... about halfway through the anime, it becomes it's own story. Edit: Also, the reason why homunculi were hard to kill differs between anime and manga (I think... it's been a while since I saw the anime), and unlike in the anime, the manga's homunculi weren't created by failed human transmutations.

Hmmm... well, it would seem that the anime and manga versions of Fullmetal Alchemist veer off in two entirely different directions about halfway through (if not earlier) and become two entirely different stories.

I'd have to agree with RTD's point in this case... the Time War started in Genesis of the Daleks with the fourth doctor being sent to destroy the Daleks before they ever existed... and so, technically, we've watched all but the very end of the Time War already. Heck, it may even reach all the way back to the very first Dalek episodes (after all, they had the equivalent of their own 'tardises' even way back then. ^^) Also... it may be mostly non-canon, but there are some thoughts that Troughton's Doctor didn't exactly regenerate immediately after the trial, but did some gruntwork for the CIA for a while... with Jamie with him, no less. Then again, some fans don't consider some of the multi-doctor episodes worthy of canon either. ^^"

My guess? The reality of Doctor Who only sweats the big stuff. One or two future humans? No problem... their influence probably won't have a lot of effect on humanity that far in the future. Six billion causing wholesale slaughter and the effective erasure / changing of the future humans' own existance? Yeah, you'll need some serious staples to hold that c##p together (i.e. the paradox machine).

Because he was screwed regardless of what happened to the machine. He was dead before it was turned on, and still dead after it was running... so he wouldn't come back. On the other hand, the Doctor was reverted back to his youthful self, and stayed that way for the same reason that everyone retained their memories... the 'eye of the storm' thing. Brain patterns or genetic patterns, they stuck around there. If the Doctor was on the surface of the planet when the Paradox machine was blown to bits, he'd either disappear (due to his not being in the eye of the storm AND because everything in the chamber he was in at the time didn't revert), or be the old version of himself.

Personally, I'd love to see how they explain his swelled head and loss of... well, everything that's NOT head, given he's supposed to remain unchanging thanks to Rose's meddling. ^^"

Ummm... what? Who exactly would be starring in it? Harrison Ford? "Indiana Jones and the Geriatric Ward of Death" is more like it...
