I enjoyed Evangelion right up to episode 18 or so. At that point, it lost any humour it had in the earlier episodes and just became too depressing. The earlier episodes were a great mix of humour, action, and character interaction. Without that, it's much less of a good show.

The first book was a really good read, but the later sequels just don't work for me. Though I'm thrilled by the fact that one of the main characters is Canadian As far as the movies go, I preferred Identity to Supremecy. I didn't enjoy the action scenes in Supremecy very much, the camera shots were too quickly cut and unstable to really see what was happening.

Ian McDermid really stole that movie. His portrayal of Palpatine just rocked.

I'm rather happy with that scene, myself.

This trailer shows what I fear most about this film: too much story tried to be crammed into too little movie. We've got Parker and his Aunt May. Parker and MJ. Parker and Harry. Spider-Man and Green Goblin. Spider-man and Sandman. Spider-Man and Venom. I have high hopes for this, but it looks like it'll be a tough sell as far as the plotting goes.

One of the original ideas for the Big Fight was to have it take place deep in the bowels of Coruscant, the idea being that the people built the planet skywards while leaving behind ancient relics of the past buried deep beneath the towers. I think this was one of Ralph Macquarrie's original concept art pieces.

Another good book is Shadows of the Empire. Takes place between ESB and ROTJ, so Vader is alive and kicking. And in thsi book, he very much kicks. Hard and repeatadly does he kick. Lucas has gone on record as saying he would've made that into a movie if it had come out earlier.

Personally, no. I despise the New Jedi Order and the Legacy of the Force. Those two series' do absolutly nothing good for me. On the other hand, if you want a much better series try the X-Wing and Wraith Squadron novels. But that's just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Not anymore. The Super Star Destroyer has been retconned to 19km long, from the original 8km as quoted in the earlier novels.

My mistake. I should've said, "spoken".

That's like saying a Macross fan is just a Robotech fan on the waiting list This problem arose from the fact that "Sith" was never seen in any script of the first three films. In any publication material, it was "Dark Jedi". Only later was the Sith added as a seperate, distinctive off-shoot of the Jedi Order. Like I said before, just because you use the Dark Side doesn't automatically make you a Sith. It's the prime requirement, but until you actually join them and follow their rites and rituals, you're just a dark-side wielding bad guy.

The first RC book, yes. I hate Triple Zero with a passion. That's only because stupid fanchildren raised holy hell when they found out they couldn't play as Jedi. It was said right from the start that the path to the Jedi was long and hard and very few people would actually get the chance to try. Then whiners started whining, "OMG a star wars game. I wanna be jedi!!!111oneoneone". I was looking forward to playing as a regular Joe in a SW computer game, but that's not likely now.

True, but Revan and Malak always made reference to the student challenging the master and saying that that was the only time they could take on their own students. Like I said, really convoluted and unclear.

It's not exactly clear when the Rule of Two was first established. We know that Darth Bane popularized it 1,000 years BBY, but we also know that Darth Revan and Darth Malak practiced it as well at 4,000 years BBY. Exar Kun didn't during his rampage through the galaxy, nor did any of the Sith before them. The obvious conclusion is that the KOTOR makers didn't know about Darth Bane at the time they made the game But so far we're still lacking an in-EU explanation as to why Revan and Malak were first people pre-Bane to use the name of Darth. Dark Jedi have existed for long before the advent of the Sith in any form. The Sith are an entierly different branch of Force Users, with their traditions and rituals and systems of advancement. Just because a Jedi turns away from the Light Side doesn't automatically make him a Sith. An example I like to use is to liken the Jedi/Sith split as the East and West in the cold war. The East and the West had the largest, most powerful, and most well-organized militaries of the time, but they were hardly the ONLY militaries in the world. If a soldier on the side of the West (a Jedi) becomes disenchanted with his lot and decides to strike out on his own, does that automatically make him a soldier of the East? No. He could become a mercenary, or join any of the other groups around the world. Same analogy for the Jedi. Just because you use the Dark Side doesn't immediatly make you a Sith. You'd have to contact one, get recruited, and train in their rituals.

No, he doesn't. It's because 20 years have passed since Prime was last heard and Mr. Cullen's voice has changed just enough to sound different. Like a Prime sound-a-like, it's kinda grating.

Season 10 will be released on DVD in late June, just in time for the release of the movies. I think the Ori storyline is leaps and bounds better than Season 8 (the nadir of the series and one I refuse to buy on DVD). I'd actually stopped watching the show in mid-season 1 and didn't get back into it until Atlantis was started. I prefer the earlier seasons to the later ones because it started off with a real-world feel. Very contemporary and less sci-fi than other shows.

It's a plot point and little more. Same reason why most aliens in sci-fi shows are humanoid. Much easier (and cheaper) to produce.

Yeah. It's called, "You do NOT screw with the Enterprise, period." If you thought that the minor fervor about the TF designs is bad, just wait until Trekkies get up in arms over their beloved ship design.

There needs to be a plot beyond, "fly here, shoot this, this, this, and all the enemy badguys that have the misfortune of getting in the way of my missles"?

Because.

Every time I see pictures and media of this movie, I'm made to think, "G1 what?". I really like the designs and direction this film is taking.

I'm most interested in the HDMI connection, since my TV will only display 1080p over an HDMI cable.

Riding Bean is also a perennial favourite of mine.

The Top Gun soundtrack is running through my head as I look

True, true. MADOX rocks in so many ways.

I go to movies and read books/comics to escape "real life".
