Reading Againcourt by Bernard Cornwell. About 1/3 of the way in and it is excellent so far. A great mix of story and fact that deals with a series of fascinating events in history.

I don't think we know what Peter's power is just yet. A) Like before, but he has to touch the person to absorb B) Like A, but he actually takes the power away from the person like his father C) He only gets it for a short period of time D) He can only absorb one at a time (he lost flight when...

Adama will NOT be run off of his ship. There was no way that he was ever going to get on that shuttle. His people are dying on his ship because of mutineers. He will stay and fight. I think that is entirely within the spirit of the character and completely understandable. Tigh has always been...

And this is why BSG is one of the best shows on TV. Right and wrong are not always clear. Damn straight, the mutineers do have a great point and a sympathetic view of the conflict. Especially if you spend some time watching Gaeta's great story through the years up to and including the...

Shocking, brutal, difficult to anticipate. Without a doubt one of the best episodes in a while. (this doesn't mean that the others have been poor)

Similar situation but I'm aided by the fact that I'm starting an all goblinoid Dhakaani campaign right now. What I did for races was to take the core races and make them the goblinoids. Half-orc -> bugbear Human -> hobgoblin Halfling -> goblin That keeps them simple, balanced, and keeps the...

Yep, 100% agree. That's why Oliver has been a great addition to the show. Here's someone without any power (aside from the power of an unemptying wallet) who doesn't worry so much about the whys, but just gets things done. He's the anti-Clark and they make a good pairing, especially when you...

This season they really jumped from "sorta sci-fi/drama" to "deep heavy serious sci-fi" with the time travel stuff. After the first episode I told my wife that they are going to lose half of their audience and forever hook the other half. I'm of the "hooked" half. Since they announced the end...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ WotC is all about ^that^ Now profit isn't a bad thing, but there should also be a line where what you create has some value beyond the dollars and cents. What WotC just did is selling out, nothing more, nothing less. Eberron is the place that was different. A...

Bah, I can't watch it tonight, but hopefully I will Saturday night. DVR ALERT! I read a rumor that tonight's episode is going to run over 2-3 minutes. Add that bump on to your recording time!!

Finishing up the Song of Ice and Fire books, about 100 pages to go in A Feast for Crows. I'm not sure what I'll read next.

Interesting. I have a hard time finding information on their messageboards, since I rarely check them and can't ever seem to find the latest updates. I'll have to see if I can find them. Is there a place where they are keeping the latest updates?

The force went from a mystical power that flows through all things, yes, even that rock....to an infection. In the George Lucas Hall of Shame there is a tie for second place between Jar Jar Binks and the Midi-chlorians. First place is a clear victory for Greedo shooting first.

I'm thinking of starting up my first Pathfinder game and reading up on it I've heard that many feel that the fighter is still underpowered. I don't want him to be overpowered, but I'd like for him to have a few options and be a bit more mobile around the battlefield so he can be a better...

I started working on an all-goblin Eberron campaign, but it fell apart for various reasons. I was going to focus on the Dhakhanni tribes, their attempt to consolidate their power and then strike at the other two tribes for rule. It has a lot of potential and I may just revisit it since I'm...

For the most part, I really dislike them. I'll admit that the voyeur in me enjoys Big Brother, but I'm fairly ashamed of it. The only "quality" reality show I've ever seen in The Amazing Race, although I rarely watch it.

I've never even turned it on. As my boys get older (now 4 and 1), I'm sure we will.

Exactly. I'm going to stop reading these Heroes threads. I used to love coming here to talk about it but now it is just a pile of complaints. No, it sure isn't perfect and there are some things I don't like a lot, but I still love the show and look forward to it weekly.

:( *speechless*

Better than half of the way through A Game of Thrones. I was hesitant to start another long series that hasn't been finished (see my frustrations on the Wheel of Time series), but I had heard enough great things about this one that I had to start it. So far, it is excellent although there are...
