There is no Monster Manual, there is only a list of creatures which O'Chul allows to live.

If you look closely, the phylactery looks like it's heading for the ocean. And Xykon is actually better off with it at the bottom of the ocean - since it's indestructible, nothing can happen to it down there, and his enemies will never find it. He should just leave it where it is.

No way is Xykon going to lose his phylactery like this. I'm thinking it's going to be used as a bargaining chip for V's freedom (probably not O'Chul's, though).

Well, he seems to have taken a full attack against the phylactery, and we see him hit it four times, so that means he's at least 16th level.

If so, this is something they should have mentioned. This was my biggest problem with the movie, too - why were they bothering to drill to the core of the planets before using the red matter? A black hole on one side of a planet will destroy that planet just as effectively as a black hole in the...

Is anyone else kinda wanting a spinoff strip about the three fiends now?

The fact that this dragon targeted V's family for revenge after one of its own family members was killed proves you wrong on this point. Also, I still have to note that no one seems to think that killing the first black dragon was evil. So we're back to, it's okay to kill things to become rich...

After they invaded its lair.

First, how many of the dragons that V just killed do you suppose fall into that category? And second, I'll again remind you that the OotS invaded the lair of the first black dragon and killed it to get the piece of starmetal they needed to reforge Roy's sword. They were not out to stop an evil...

First, XP is not a metagame concept in Order of the Stick. They know about XP; they talk about it all the time. Second, I can't comment on you specifically, but way back when the OotS invaded the first black dragon's lair and killed him in order to get the starmetal to reforge Roy's sword, I...

So, killing to safeguard your family = evil. Killing to increase your personal power and wealth = not evil. Gotta love D&D morality.

You can't apply D&D reasoning to the real world. In D&D, everyone's moral code and values falls into one of nine basic categories. The real world is infinitely more complex than that. What I find interesting is that I think if V had killed every one of those dragons individually, during the...

Actually, the computer geek is pretty much an exact clone of Andrew from the last two seasons of Buffy. And he is every bit as annoying, creepy, and painfully unfunny in this incarnation as he was in his last.

It's possible that I was too hard on the show. But the hype has been through the roof, and I think I'm a lot more inclined to notice Joss's bad traits these days. For example, the River effect, where we're supposed to believe that thin, waiflike girls without super powers can kick ass like...

I didn't miss anything. There was nothing more to the character than what I described. He certainly isn't the opposite of what I've seen on other shows; he was exactly like the kind of character you see on just about every cop show that ever gets made. Nothing original in the slightest.
