Hypercubes Made Easy Hypercubes Made Easy, or Tesseracts Make My Head Explode :headexplo I first found the idea of a hypercube in the Dragon Compendium. This article expands on that article’s both a fascinating and confusing idea. Here I will describe a hypercube and try to make a cheat sheet...

Reductio ad WoW The boards archived the first version of this so I'm updating and reposting it in it's own thread. If it gets archived this time you won't have to scroll down to find it. Reductio ad WoW Translated to "reduction (or argument) to World of Warcraft". Generally a Reductio ad...

Alternate Illithid Origins Alternate Illithid Origins The Beginning On the distant reality of Eart (not Earth, it’s Eart) technology came to power over magic. A great civilization came into being. With their knowledge they learned how to manipulate the basic blocks of life. A few developed a...

I've been thinking on the four techniques and came up with a visual aid for each. I also came up with a fifth technique that can be used. Generally it might overlap with the other four, but has instances where it stands on its own. A scream pierced the night. Sojourn awoke with a...

So people are compelled to confess their wickedness to him? Sounds like it could be useful in that unsolved murder.

It looks like the reverse flash may be Harrison Wells. Flash's powers work by via the speed force bending the laws of physics.

Rats are incontinent and one of the spreaders of the plague. Of course any wound from anything that was in a sewer is a health risk. http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northwest/series1/rats.shtml http://www.cdc.gov/rodents/diseases/direct.html

Personally I think the pilot tried to cram too much into one episode. Hopefully they well do better with the others episodes.

The Leaner, Meaner Season 2 of ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Well it looks like the paradigm has shifted quite a bit. With SHIELD no longer being an omnipresent organization with a huge backing in the terms of power and funding they are going to have a lot more work to do, as most of the...

Looks like it is going to be a great deal about Gordon's struggle with a world that intents to beat him down and break him for being a good person and trying to do the right thing. Anyway being that the world is so far from the goal of reforming the city and the police, he can accomplish a lot...

Except that it fits the definition of analogy to a tee and was functioning as an analogy, and thus it is an analogy. I can't help but wonder how much the repeated gaps and preconceptions of what the show should have been caused people to think this. They couldn't ignore the required plot change...

None of those example where writing marvel stories in a shared marvel universe and as such you have used a false analogy. Or such was placed on hold for the Winter Soldier developments and where allowed to move forward after that was not longer an issue.

Cause the limits the put on the writers in regards to what they can do is a handicap that can hold them back a lot. It only began to go somewhere when several of those limits were cast aside.

A "millstone around one's neck' is a reference to burden that holds one back, preventing them for doing what they want.

If you hang a millstone around their necks, then you shouldn't be surprised if it affects their performance.

I believe that for the most part, the writers where restrained from doing to much interesting because the plot was tied into the movies, and they had to wait to get permission to move forwards. But now they might not be constrained so, and have allot more room in general to work with as SHIELD...

I'm looking forward to see what they will do in the new season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PahISq6DKws

"Oho!" said the pot to the kettle; "You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, Except when you're given a crack." "Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot; "'Tis your own dirty image you see; For I am so clean – without blemish or blot – That your blackness...

But very Vulcan like. Your confusion of a joke with facts is illogical.

Well, it is Spock (no r), from the TV series.
