    Good gun-using PrCs?

    The Iron Kingdoms has the pistoleer, and the rifleman. I have enjoyed using both, as well as their gun mage base class.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--12/08/06--Arc 9

    I'm pretty sure the Cylons have not been retconned to be pantheonists. It seems since the "Eye of Jupiter" is referenced in ancient texts, the colonists have used both sets of names, but this specific location or artifact has always been known as the Eye of Jupiter rather than the Eye of Zeus...

    Doctor Who: Love and Monsters

    As I've shown the series to various people, I've found that this is consistently seems to be one of the favourite episodes. It doesn't match The Impossible Planet/Satan pit, or the season ender, but it has a certain kind of charm. Maybe because it seems to be about Doctor Who fans, or fandom...

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--12/1/06--Arc 8

    I've always wondered about that phrase. Not like we get any of the rest of them back. Still, I'll stand by my initial impression. Backround and character moments do not for me a bad episode make.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--12/1/06--Arc 8

    I find myself absurdly fond of this episode. Nice way to get a glimpse at the missing year. Strictly a character development episode.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--11/17/06--Arc 7

    No, I think we understood that. My main confusion was that you seemed to be using "Captain" and "Commander" interchangably, which is clearly not the case in the Colonial Fleet. It made you somewhat difficult to understand in context.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--11/17/06--Arc 7

    Commander, not Captain, based on the rest of the post. We saw him as a captain previous to "The Captain's Hand", and a Major briefly in that episode. Adama gave him the Commander rank pins, which we then see him wear, and he is referred to as "Commander" numerous times between that episode and...

    Torchwood episode 4

    This is sort of random, but I remember hearing that there were problems during Torchwood filming regarding the cameras. I'm wondering if we're starting to see this, or if they were able to correct it at all. I'm not sure how to put this exactly, but the show seems to visually bright when...

    Smallville Season 6---11/02/06 "Fallout"

    There were some distinct aspects of those seasons that didn't seem like tests. The girl who Jor-El took and then sent back brainwashed into thinking she was a kryptonian and Clark's teacher? Not so happy. I do however think that Jor-El's morality might have a bit of a different base than that...

    Fair enough. No need to provoke anyone's overzealous nature, as you say.

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--10/27/06--Arc 4

    The odd time I find something contrived or obviously playing to the audience in BSG, I've noticed Ron Moore has mentioned it in his podcast. Sometimes he's not fond of it: - all of Black Market - The second time Tigh goes drinking with Colonel Fisk to get information about Admiral Cain's...

    Doctor Who Season 2--10/13/06

    I thought the Key of Time arc was a season... In any case, I am looking forward to the Second Doctor story "The Invasion", to be released with the missing parts filled in with animation set to the original audio. http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2006/06/20/33077.shtml...

    Heh, indeed. I'll go chance that typo.

    Doctor Who Season 2--10/13/06

    Possibly due to the illegal (or at least questionable) nature of this sort of downloading I suppose. The other possibility is a certain subset of all fandoms that deal with long running series. Specifically the segment that believes opinions grow more valid the further back you've watched the...

    Smallville Preimere: Season 6--9/28/06

    With respect, my understanding is that Kryptonians did not have their powers on their homeworld. Zod learned to fight without powers as a soldier, and that carried over when he was fighting Clark. The main problem I can see is that Clark might actually have to be de-powered to learn how to...

    Speaking in "faux old English" [Poll]

    Faux old english has never been used in my campaign, though people speaking casually or formally depending on the situation as appropriate is common. Accents pop up a lot as well.

    Stargate SG-1 Season 10 *Discussion Thread* 9/15

    I suppose the main difference in terms of practical use is that the ZPM, which they describe as drawing vaccum energy from subspace, seems to have a limited charge like a battery, whereas Project Arcturus seemed to be more along the lines of a power plant. They've been sort of vague regarding...
