In re: Professor Song, she definitely seemed (at least initially) on somewhat intimate terms with the Doctor. That, plus her genuine need for him to recognize her seems to indicate to me that she's something more than just a standard traveling companion.

Very interesting episode- a much more fascinating and compelling mystery than, well, the "mystery" episode of two weeks ago. I'm really curious as to what role the little girl is supposed to play in this. At first I thought she was a past version of Professor Song, but that doesn't seem to be...

Not so big when 3E came out, but by 3.5 Amazon was chugging right along.

How do these constitute different physical races, though? I mean, I guess it's no different from the old "sub-race" trope of earlier editions (which I greatly dislike as well), but it's really just putting a coat of fresh paint on the same situation and calling it something else. What if an...

Vanden nods. "I agree with Garn. We are not at full strength, and who knows what else might lurk within. Perhaps we can purchase some healing draughts with the money we earned for Longcoat's defeat?" Sighing, he asked Garnet, "Do you know of any spells of sealing or warding that we might set up...

That's for sure. As much as I disliked The Village, I still really love The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.

Wow. I had no idea all that was going on. I'd been posting less and less often to the Wizards boards of late (largely due to dissatisfaction with what I've seen of 4E), but I was extremely miffed with the recent reorganization of the boards that saw the one forum I consistently posted to...

Wow, that stinks. I wasn't a huge fan of the most recent co-authored Myth and Phule's books he did, but I still absolutely love all of his earlier works. Always sad to see a favored author pass away.

I can't agree more. This is why I stopped watching the History channel years ago. Well, this and the superabundance of WWII shows.

Did she say "men" or did she say "people"? I thought the gender was not stated, because I remember thinking she was pretty clearly referring to herself as the other person involved. I may be wrong, though. In any event, I'm still not convinced Jin's dead, because it's not as if she'd tell her...

Technically, it wasn't. It was an alien that looked like a giant wasp (or didn't look like one, if you prefer.) :p

My feelings are pretty much the same as Tetsubo's. I used to visit the Mystara board several times a day, and pop into the other boards with regular frequency (if not quite as often). Since the announcement of 4E, I find myself going there very rarely, even to the Mystara board. It's not...

This was one of my least favorite Who episodes of the new series, and my least favorite of the season. Far, far too much exposition. It was written like an Agatha Christie novel, which would be fine, except that this is television, and there is nothing more inane on TV than cutting back and...

BTW, I missed the first half of this weeks' episode (and haven't caught up with it yet at abc.com)- did they clarify that they are actually physically going to move the island, or are they just going to do something with the electromagnetic energy under the island and reset the coordinates that...

Let's hope not, since it seems he's got himself wired so that if he goes, the ship goes.

I think it's the angle that certain shots are taken from. She has sort of a long face, with her cheekbones higher up, relative to her nose, than in most "western" women. That, and the set of her eyes gives her sort of an "odd" look when viewed in certain positions. Seeing other pictures of her I...

Fair enough. I actually disagree about the acting- I think everyone happened to give decent performances for the type of movie it was (essentially a family film). Sure, they can all do some amazing dramatic and/or comedic roles if they want, but that's not really what the film called for. They...

Sorry, didn't mean to bring things quite to that level of dialogue, but what I meant was, your earlier position was that you were completely befuddled as to why people might not have the same view on bringing Jenny back that you do. Considering the metaphysical issues that may be involved, does...

So- no thoughts on the soul concept, then? Or how that notion might preclude others from being willing to accept that another Jenny would be the same person as the first one?

Probably because there are larger metaphysical issues involved and not just material ones. Notably, the concept of a soul. If such things exist, then would a reborn Jenny have the same soul, a different one? Would that make her a different person, the same? Who knows? (It's not my personal...
