EDIT: And somebody tell me that team armament was a one-shot for this episode. All MP-5s/P90s was bad enough and now they're switching to MP-7s? With Teal'c going Gun-Fu with two of them? ARGH! SGC now uses G36's and MP7's in addition to their normal arsenal. The 'gun-fu' incident was thankfully li...

2. The 'Oh noes! unexpected activation form outside' reception committee. There's a set of HMGs if not autocannon (do we know for a fact what they are? They look 20mm-ish to me but I can't really place them) plus a truckload of people with assault rifles covering the gate. Why, exactly, do they put...

Atlantis is decent; it doesn't really measure up to SG-1 IMO, but it definitely has promise.

I just wish I could get Sci-Fi channel, I miss my Stargate fix... :(

There was Ten-Eyed Man. He was blind, but had eyes... in his fingertips. Um. Yeah. Or the 'Rainbow Raider'. He was color-blind, but had glasses that could project a solid sheet of rainbow light which he could tool about upon a la the Silver Surfer, or suck the colour from people and objects. No, he ...

So far I've enjoyed the novels. But sadly, they lack the perspective from those on the Emperor's side, apart from the Crusade. I definitely wouldn't mind hearing a few musings from Eldrad upon what's going on elsewhere, and given that a *lot* about the Heresy isn't stated in the novels-- it's in the...

Lookin' good, Lin-chan... :)

While such an act would be unconstitutional in the US, would it be illegal for the UK, Germany or other European governments? I'm asking out of morbid coursity. I believe most other European governments have similar separation-of-church-and-state clauses as the U.S. does, stemming in large part fro...

M9 Berettas actually.

As for the rope thing-- complete accident. They fell through the ducting, ceiling, and the rope caught. There is no fucking way they could've made those shots without divine assistance.

You know... I hate the concept of God as much as the next atheist... but I dont think banning organized religion will do anything... Quite so. Regulations to control organized religion from influencing the state, yes; but banning it outright will do nothing except drive it elsewhere. It has simply ...

Batman has killed before (early comics, Dark Knight Returns, Batman Begins) and should do so again when he has to. Minor nitpick: I don't believe Bats killed anybody in Dark Knight Returns. He broke Joker's spine, but Joker finished the job himself to frame Batman. There *was* quite a bit of collat...

I think one of the greater battles I have ever seen was the Thing figthing the unintellgent Hulk in order to buy Reed time for the newest anti-Hulk device. While the Hulk was much stronger then Ben Grimm, he still managed to put up one hell of a fight due to brains and sheer grit. I've never seen a...

In Marvel's MAX line with rebooted characters, yeah. Pretty good stuff, I thought, even if there was no chance it could possibly cross over into standard Marvel.

Not necessarily-- the Wookiees in Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader saw the extermination of the Jedi, and took steps to protect those on Kashyyyk. As a result they were attacked and enslaved by the new Empire. The Marvel Star Wars comics from the '80s also depicts many aliens, including the Mon Calama...

Trench wasn't *that* wide either; two TIE's flying side by side would've been a litle tight, and X- and Y-wings have more of a wingspan. If they want to maneveur, they'd have to hop up above the surface... making them sitting ducks for the guns. They had to take the trench run as they did precisely ...

A rather depressing tale... I agree, the Beren and Luthien tale would work nicely, but I do feel that the Silmarillion already tells both stories quite adequately. Of course, the Sil was pretty much finished when Tolkien senior died; all Christopher had to do was basically polish it off and publish ...

With Petro here. Not only tall and long, but thick too

Similar question here. I have Nero, but it keeps giving me an error when I try to burn to DVD video. Burns data fine though... Basically, I load up the files I want, it queues and transcodes them, but when it comes to actually burning the damn thing has a shitfit. So yeah. Similar question to Desert...

Note: The AT-AT's were indeed used in the prequels, according to the Clone Wars cartoon and the comics from that era, as well as several different walker variants. One presumes they were being used on Hoth due to their superior armour, large capacity and better ground speed (they did have to deploy ...

I would say it was Smith's work that first brought them into standard use in sci-fi, though. Interesting note; his shields were apparently opaque, not invisible, as they cycled through different colours before finally collapsing. Would be very visually interesting to see on the screen, IMO...

Termites. Lighter. Mix the two. Pretty good actually.

Note: These are the large one-inch-long African migratory type, in their winged mating form. They're no good in the mound...

Please don't call me English, it constitutes racism. Don't be asinine. It's no more racist than me calling a New Yorker a 'damnyankee', which is a great more deal insulting than simply addressing a self-admittedly half-English person as 'English'. And it's only racist if you go back a thousand-five...

Nicholas Meyer once said that he sat down and he watched every single episode of TOS to get a feel for the show. At the end, he decided to make a sequel to "Space Seed" in the form of Wrath of Khan. In a similar way I ask you to list what you consider to be the most compelling TOS episode you found...

Touchpad here. My HP had a nice function where you could turn it off. Most useful in games and the like... I MUCH prefer an external mouse, though.

I have to admit I can see his point. When there's nobody coming, there's really not much point to keeping it up. If we're going to be serious about having a chat up, we have to keep people attending....

O'Hare=the sux indeed. Glad to see you're good though...
