What happened with the Catalyst after that anyway?

I LIKED what they were doing with mixing up the good guys and the bad guys in the beginning of the season, but then as everything sorts itself out, pretty much everyone goes and returns to their normal self anyway...

Although near the end when the marine gets his power I was thinking 'wouldn't it have been AWESOME if he ended up killing Nathan, Mohinder and whatshername?' Woulda made me a happy viewer.

Was it me or did it feel like Slyar's acter wasn't into it at the end of the episode? I'm not sure if he was told to act it, but he just seemed apathetic.

I was also hoping that the Marine would kill them. When he tossed that chair I was all "DUDE YOU MISSED MOHINDER! Pick it up and try again!"

Hey, we have a Media board for a reason - and you can even talk a lot more open about it there!

And think of me, I haven't watched the show yet, but when I have done, the Hive thread is 5 pages further and I forgot about the wisdom you speak here!

Christmas - I like it. I can very easily ignore all that commercialismn it causes and focus on the good stuff. Which is meeting with the family, particularly the big "Müller family meeting" each Christmas. The sons (including my father) and daughters of my grandfather and their children all meeting, drinking tea, eating cake and talking about various things.

Though I am a little anxious this year. It's the first big family reunion since the funeral of my uncle. I wonder how that feels and how we react to it. (It wouldn't be the first time he couldn't come Christmas, but it's the first time it is so... final. Or sad. There is a big difference between your uncle assisting the installation of a flight management software in Brunei and him being dead. )

It's weird how Christmas and Valentines Day tends to be the two most depressing Holidays in existence. I wonder if non-christian cultures have a holiday which is similarly depressing

I thought you knew that Sienfeld has the power to curse those who dislike his show and think his "comedy" is over rated.

Doesn't consern me... I like him

I can tell I've moved into a new stage at work - we're having daily meetings now!

If it was a RP game I would be interested in that for a pbp.

But I'd need some help with the rules as I've got rid of my M&M book now. Also, wasn't there a 2nd Edition of that with an update?

Oh, and morning, Hive!

Ideally I'd want the game to be RP heavy with little or no combat considering how many pbp games I've played in died because of combat dragging on endlessly.

Yes there was. The pocket guide and the last printing of the core books have the latest corrections. I'm not sure what exactly changed between editions besides for the cost of skill points; but I've heard that some people prefer the original over the 2nd edition.

There is also a OGL book which basically reprints every M$M 2e book that sells for 6 bux (?), but I'm not sure if they changed M&M's point values or what.

I do not find Christmas depressing at all!

I am neutral to Valentines Day.

Well, I'm not willing to pay money to play in the game , but if it's RP heavy then count me in. We could confer via the recruitment thread as to what sort of character?

I only find Christmas depressing because I'm a bitter, lonely old man.

I think it's not the holidays themselves that cause the issues though. But the way our culture tends to fixate on them, and fill the world with Christmasy everything on November 1st, it means you get two months of reminding you of what you don't have. Add to that the stress and financial woes, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Are you a coffee flavored villainess?

I know there's Too Much Coffee Man out there. . . I wonder if the forces of caffeine have ever led anyone to the dark side.

Surely it should be more like Darth Venti and Latte Espressomaker.

Of course, if you're willing to mix your media sources, Starbuck(s) is vaguely appropriate.
