Having dipped my toes into the world of Bit Torrent to catch episodes of shows that I missed, I've come to realize the potential of filling in the critical gaps of what I may have missed in my youth. Oh, I probably caught most of the "worthwhile" stuff that was widely shown in the US...

*BAM* - subscribed! This is a great thread. Too bad I don't have anything useful to contribute. And thanks for mentioning of Black Adder, SS. I'm trying to catch up on "classics" (like Tripods and Red Dwarf) that I'd never seen - either due to location and from a quick internet search it...

I bow in awe to your awesome, innovative, descriptive imagery, E-V. When I think disintegrate my mind's eye goes "bzzt ... pft". When you weave disintegrate into your tale it becomes ... ********************************** The thin, reedy laugh suddenly changed to an unholy scream, as the...

How strange. Yes, I definitely thought there had to be a large pull out map that a pristine condition book would probably have gummed into the front of the book. Some of the reviews/discussion earlier that had convinced me to hunt this down (just before V2 was announced, incidentally - had...

Yep, I hadn't yet gotten around to reading my first edition midnight I found used a couple months back (missing the map but I didn't know until later it was supposed to come with one). After reading similar reviews I zipped on over to eBay and found a 2nd edition copy with a reasonable "Buy it...

I was going to say Survivor: Chernobyl but Crothian beat me to the idea. How about Survivor: Camp Cupcake where the contstants are locked up with Martha Stewart non stop and are forced to interior decorate, cook, trim and re-pot plants, etc. with her until they fail all sanity checks...

EXCELLENT update - as always. You really have a way of pacing and wording the action, environment, history, emotions, etc. all together to keep me rivited to the seat wondering how things are going to play out.

More great updates, Morte. You sure have picked up the pacing quite a bit. Which is fine, but I did chuckle when you went to warp speed (er, stutterwarp?) with this bit: Silea eyed the 1000 dtons of wobbly freighter, and said “let’s do this nice and slow.” * CLUNK * “We’re docked."

Nobody's said Amityville Horror? I've not seen either the original nor the remake, but my wife has "fond" memories of the original and wants to see the remake when it becomes available on DVD. Poltergeist III did me in. IIRC, as a whole it was pretty bad, but the whole idea of what you see in...

More references, links, or pictures please! I'm terrible with names. Of course, my wife would say that I'm terrible with faces too ("hey, is that the guy from....?" "No dear."). The more connections you can make for me the better. For me the difficulty is separating the person from the role...

Another "oops" battle, Valerian? Nayu really took him out without any (combat) response at all? Then again, I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from 'He who is truly Blessed by the Heavens'. Looking forward to how the empress responds to such a blatant, one-sided, crushing defeat...

Wait - I went for a month in Quebec to primarily study French (that was a long time ago, so don't bother asking or saying anything in that language to me now). You're telling me that when I overheard that cartoon when one of the girls of the family I was living with watched it ... that those...

Clothes, emporer's new: A set of clothing that entices anyone wishing to look truly grand into purchasing it. Cost is thrice that of your typical noble's suit. Upon wearing it in public, it casts an invisibility spell on itself while beguiling the wearer and associates into believing they are...

Wow, I don't remember Alternity being dice-poolish at all except for the very bad end (when you had to roll multiple d20s). It was always 1d20 +/- XdM, where X is almost always 1 and M was the modifier dice type, with its number of sides depending on the number of shifts you took due to...

So it's kind of like embedded cones (think inverted ice cream sugar cone, covered by a waffle cone, covered by a traffic cone, covered by a huge dunce cap, etc. with some type of filaments connecting each to the other), but when on each layer the others (at least the bigger, "better" ones) and...

>>The Marquis owns the moon outright I want my own moon! Now THERE is power and wealth! This looks to be an excellent site if you want a Seaquest-like campaign. Hmmmm - not much life has evolved -- but mayhaps those that did are all supersized kraken and narwhales to face-off against your...

LOL, half-orc! I thought the same thing, but would never be brave enough to acually permanently record the thought. As for the picture of Fukasu, I had expected a darker and more foreboding external to contrast with the lighter internal spirit. A lesson not to judge a book by its covers. But...

Yahooie - time to thread resurrect! plum(b line) of direction: This small purple fruit provides its eater with an innate and immediate knowledge of the direction "down". Has no effect (except for mildly nutritious) in any region where there is no set "down" direction (eg the plane of...

I'm currently taking a similar tour through the show. I would have sworn I hadn't seen anything past season two when it was showing on TV, but as I'm nearing the end of season 3 I still come across some episodes that are familiar. Of course, now I can see how those bits actually FIT together...

Well, I want to thank everyone here. You all set my expectations so low.... ...that I was able to actually enjoy the episode when I was finally able to get around to watching it. It wasn't NEARLY as bad as you all let on. It may not have been on par with many (most?) of them, but when you...
