The implication, at least as I read it, is that the Black Dragons all spring from one common ancestor. V just caused the extinction of the black dragon. Which is, I suppose, a very sensible way to ensure that none of the dragon's relatives will come after your family in revenge. If, you know...

I suspect the dragon survived the quickened disintegrate...but only just barely. He'll do something so evil, with such relish, to end the dragon, while his family watches, that if they do survive they will turn on him/her forever. That, or tell him he's gone too far, and has to drop this...

The link on comingsoon.net is broken, but they have the trailer up at apple's trailer website too. It strikes me as a much more "action movie"-ish style than the others...and that works, given that the books are becoming a lot darker at this point. It's interesting how the feel of the movies...

Still doesn't prevent people from using a Rust Monster as a super Disenchant Item ritual...they feed the monster the unwanted item and kill it immediately, to harvest 100% of the residuum. Even 1% per round won't do much here; a full party shouldn't need even one round to coup de gras a...

Good point...I hadn't remembered those scenes. Matt's power has been shown to put strain on its' target, and I suppose we haven't really seen an extended mind-reading session before. Usually it's a second or two of Matt focusing, and then we're done. Maybe when the mind-reading is drawn out...

You know what I DIDN'T like about this episode? There wasn't a single sympathetic character in it. Everyone came off as a jerk. I want, more than is healthy, to slap Nathan, The Hunter, and Peter. Repeatedly. Parkman COULD have pulled off the sympathy schtick, what with grieving for his...

As to the issue of Tracy doing exactly what was needed at the time to provide funding...I don;t see the problem with that. Based on Nathan's conversation with the Hunter, it was pretty clear that the escape attempt was orchestrated. And, based on his conversation with Tracy, she knew it, too...

I found it cringe-worthy creepy in places. Which is not to say that's a bad thing...if you're not questioning the morality of what's going on then the show's not doing its' job. It's SUPPOSED to make you uncomfortable. That said, the cringiest part of the show for me was the running...

I don't think they are. Angela's washed her hands of the whole thing, and everyone else from Primatech is dead, aren't they? I think HRG does not represent Primatech at this point. HRG might know of Molly and Micah's existance, but he's playing his cards close to his chest. I think Molly...

I was wondering what had happened to both Micah and Molly Walker...put them together and you've got a pretty effective underground movement. Molly locates the heroes, Micah contacts them electronically, and no one suspects them because they're kids.

Finally got around to watching it last night. Not as good as the premiere, but still a good episode. The pacing of the episode worked, I thought. Seconding the opinion that framing the episode around Nathan's phone call was well done. Yes, Peter's power sucks now. Yes, the Hiro/Ando dynamic...

Does it make me a bad person if I admit this is almost exactly what I thought of, immediately after reading the strip, and it made me cackle with glee, and want to play my 3E mage again?

Apparently, one of the somatic effects of Dimensional Anchor is that the target turns green. I would like to present a clever, tongue-in-cheek analysis of why being green prevents one from teleporting, but I haven't slept much this week and it is sadly beyond my capabilities to do so... I...

Add my name to the list of folks bothered by this particular myth. I got over it by creating a mentalist character in a supers game that played on this trope. He was called 10% Charlie (based off of this, and an annoying and pervasive local TV ad for an oriental rug dealer). I made it work...

Working on World War Z for now. It's pretty keen, on multiple levels.

This looks great, Jester. Thanks for the update.

That WAS pretty good. Kind of like The Secret of Nimh meets 300, but not in a silly way. Thanks for posting the link.

This looks really well thought out. Thanks for posting it; I'm strongly considering a Yoink. One question...this doesn't account for any kind of "consolidation", does it? If you have a unit composed of 9 Pikemen, you've actually got 9 minis out on the map, right? Otherwise, the rules for...

Keep in mind how specialized 4E monsters are. This doesn't look to me like the 4E Animate Dead. This is basically a de-powered, necromantic version of Unseen Servant. It's not saying that you can only ever have one zombie under your control. It's saying that you can only have one zombie...

I'd give this more weight if they hadn't said the same thing about Season 2 going into Season 3. But I hope this is what it takes to trim the stuff that's not working out of the show...it sounds good. I'll stick around for the Fugitives storyline. I was probably going to stick around for the...
