The book version of E.T. actually went into a little more detail -- with the mother even thinking it would be nice to have a portable hole to crawl into.

I have to agree with B2 as well. It immediately jumped to mind when I saw the question. Does anybody remember that the rumor table had a false one that said, "Bree-yark is goblin for 'I surrender.'"? Did anybody ever actually fall for that?

It would be easier to buy a Prius. :p

I was reading through the 3.x FR soucebook Shining South, and I came across a little tidbit. One of the antagonists mentioned was a group of "savage gnomish dire weremoles." They are led by a gnomish vampire. I thought it would be entertaining to start a thread containing weird little facts...

Here is a link to a syllabus for a course that uses Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the primary text: http://www.terpconnect.umd.edu/~pgrzanka/photos/TV%20Course%20Syllabus%2007.pdf It is for a "Practical Application in the Arts" course for the University of Maryland.

In response to Catsclaw's in-spoiler question: no, they did not. BrooklynKnight, here is the question. If they can obviously just show up and blow us to heck...why haven't they? I think that one of the things the writers are trying to demonstrate is that the Visitors are playing a deeper...

The Website tvbythenumbers.com has a set of indices showing which shows are likely to be cancelled. I have no idea how accurate these are, but the results are interesting. ABC FlashForward: Some danger of being canceled by 5/10. V: Likely to be renewed for 2010-11 season. CW Smallville...

Thanks! Sorry I didn't notice there was also a Mark posting on the thread. :p

Also, have you ever thrown a blond girl out of your class for sucking the creativity out of the room? (Reference to the first episode of Season 4, and yes, I am that much of a geek.)

A leather belt that lets you throw rocks for damage? Last I heard, that was called a sling. :p

Is that considered part of women studies, entertainment studies, or pop culture? I've heard of such things, but never actually seen such a course. Of course, when I was in college, Buffy was still years away from existing as a TV show... I would think Firefly would be interesting from a...

Finally got a chance to watch it. The Bryce story was entertaining. I find Mark to be completely unsympathetic and self-centered. Dmetri at least has a reason to be freaked.

I have yet to play in 4th edition, so I won't comment on anything except that with which I have direct experience. 1) The core rule books and most especially the packaged adventures are less fun to read than those of previous editions. Heck, I can still go back to my PDF of the 1st ed. DMG...

Wow, I had no idea being evil was so cool. You can do anything you want without consequences? Being evil means you're immune to the laws of nature and society! No wonder it is so cool. Seriously, when did our perspective on evil become reduced to cartoon villainy? Skeletor and Beast-Man are...

LOL, oh, I missed that reference while watching. No wonder she was so coy with TJ. Reading really is fundamental!

I've read enough books and seen enough films about the quasi-realistic apocalypse (Z for Zachariah, On the Beach, Threads, The Day After, etc.) that I try to avoid such literature as depressing without adding anything new to my understanding or entertainment. I read the plot summary on...

Who was Greer with at the end of the episode? Was it one of the main cast?

Ooh, here is a nasty idea. Most of the goblins have been brought back to life, using some weird pseudo-science (hah!) that recycled parts from the ones who weren't revived. There are now fifteen or so living goblins hanging from the walls/trees/wherever, sealed in some type of fleshy cocoon...

There is actually a whole Wikipeida article on Rary of Tet, including his actions against the Council of Eight. Interestingly, there is no mention of his being replaced by an alternate. Even more interestingly, there is no "notability" notice at the top of the article.

The goblins have been turned into bizarre flesh golems guarding a beacon stone. Roughly half of the golems guard the beacon while the other half go out to kill more creatures (travelers, wildlife) to create more bizarre golems. The beacon stone radiates strong necromancy, and animates the...
