    Favorite book series that ended badly.

    Let's dispense with the whole "redeemer" issue first. Note the word "complete"... as in "he has yet to do this." I did not say he had already become one, but she did set him up where he could have gone that direction, especially given, as you noted, that he metaphorically sacrificed himself...

    Favorite book series that ended badly.

    Where ever did I come up with such an absurd idea? Sure, it's nowhere in the books, but... wait a minute. Well, there is this: "Isn't there any way of putting yourself back together?" Ron asked. "Yes." said Hermione with a hollow smile, "but it would be excruciatingly painful." "Why? How...

    Favorite book series that ended badly.

    I can't speak for anyone else as to why they didn't like the way Harry Potter ended, but I can tell you the reasons I didn't like it. Reason #1: It seemed like J.K. Rowling wrote herself into a corner, then realized what a dark place Harry had to go to in order to fulfill his destiny...

    Poll: INDIANA JONES 4 (spoiler alert)

    There are few movies I genuinely loathe, but I'm afraid this is one of them. Part of the charm of the Indiana Jones series was that it wasn't science fiction. It was refreshing to have a fantasy which didn't involve aliens, killer robots, or elves and fairies sparkling up the place. Was...

    Someone remembers their Ghostbusters.

    Things you did not know

    I thought briefly about throwing something in my post about the accuracy of people's answers, Cleverly. That's something else which has been studied quite a bit. You can generally assume men are going to give you a straight answer except to questions where the reality of the situation is...

    Favorite game as a Child?

    Didn't it, though? I wish they'd remake it for current hardware. It would be cool to have a 3D shooter/platformer centered around a fly using his corrosive balls of exploding spit to attack the enemy, eat through the walls of their base and gobble the soft, gooey creatures inside. Knowing...

    Things you did not know

    Okey day, for the curious, little Andi-- who actually loathes that name utterly-- went to college and got his degrees in sociology (specializing in research methodology), and in human sexuality. Trust me when I say if you have the opportunity to get a college degree in sex, don't. It only...

    Favorite game as a Child?

    Well, I'm fixing to make you feel a lot younger. Pac-Man didn't come out on the Atari 2600 until I was eight years old, so my favorite games to start off with were Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Break-Out, because they were pretty much the only ones around. A bit later came...

    Things you did not know

    Twitch. Thank you, Root. =) Since I've been essentially told both a wasp and a clam are primates, I have to ask: Do they actually teach people what primates are any more? For that matter, do they teach people what mollusks are any more? There's no way that "eighty percent" statement...

    Right to Die

    Yes, unfortunately that's what happens when circumstances prevent me from sleeping and someone leaves me the opportunity to prattle on endlessly. Makes you kind of want to weep in terror, doesn't it?

    Burial/Cremation/Other

    You know, I think if I had my choice of anything, I'd choose to be in that moment just after you've finished making love, when the only thing floating through your mind is a bit of happy serenity, and be vaporized without warning by a nuclear bomb going off five feet away. Barring something...

    Right to Die

    The flippant bit of me wants to say "well, after watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"... I should have known. Two words should have tipped me off: "Phantom Menace". I digress, not the point of this thread. Personally, I believe people should have a right to check...

    Jack Thompson Found Guilty of Professional Misconduct

    This makes me so happy I'm tempted to shower myself in jello and run screaming naked through the house. Wait... that makes no sense. Don't lose heart because he might stop being annoying. Look at Fred Phelps. He was disbarred, and what was the first thing he did? Declared himself a...

    The worst thing that could be made into a VIDEO-GAME

    Ah, let's see how many more tasteless and awful concepts for video games I can come up with. "Schizophrenia Island, Deluxe Edition. Includes bonus game: Taunt the Autistic" "Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in Escape from Neverland Ranch" "Calendar Watcher" "Ultimate Bishie Battle Extreme"...
