What is your all-time favourite...?
I can't pick just one, and it seems like a lot of work rigth now anyway.

Might just be that the exects gave them 13 episodes as a kick in the backside, improve ratings or get cut off kinda deal.

Whats a Deus EX Machina in plot terms ?

Lee Adama is kinda flat and uninteresting, unfortunately I think were stuck with him for the duration. It's an eternal cycle of rebel against father, return to subservient role.

Who says earth isen't inhabitied already, or that they will even be happy to see their long lost kindred. Imagine them landing in the middle of a tense political situation and having to pick sides in a civil war. As for the religous themes, they're just stupid. I mean we have no clues what the values of their gods are at all, they mean nothing to us. If they are the ancient greek pantheon they aren't exactly a moral anchoring, what with human sacrifice etc. The tomb raider style ancient collapsing temples shtick is even worse. The only thing that holds promise in the main plotline is the 'buddhist' everything moves in circles theme.

Icewind Dale Revisited - GameBanshee Feature
whenever I start Icewind dale with the intention of finishing it I just can't get over how ugly every single interface in the game is. At least they fixed that in IWD2, which had a poorer story though.

I much prefer the double headers at the beginning and end of the series, the one offs are too short and usually can't get anywhere worthwhile in the time they have.

It's gotta end sometime. Better to end before it got stale. I can think of a few shows that went on and on long after they should have been put out to pasture. A certain Macgyver and a chunky headed egyptian fellow springs to mind. If shows don't end they turn into Lost with no one having a clue what they are about anymore.

US Presidential Race
There may be a point in there, but the source is so obviously slanted that it loses credibility. I mean, honestly I wonder what a site called http.://electronicintifada.net/ would think about Isreal.

Anyone from the old BIS forum?

It's funny anyone would chose to put Farrakhan on the left of anything in any comparision. He is a reactionary racist ****. The fact that he happens to be black hardly compensates.

Anything to get off the prophecies, chosen ones and collapsing temples shtick. Strong acting too.

US Presidential Race
The point is, it's a loaded word used to describe what you don't like, more than it is an actual recognisable political stance. The US communist party is a joke obviously, their endorsement or lack of the same means nothing. As for Hillary, she had some ambitious plans for health care and education while she was the lady macbeth behind the man, amd I applauded them. Nevertheless, to me, her bid is only one step away from the nepotism of the Bushes. Only shows how deeply insular the political power base has become that in so enormous a country, the latest 4 presidents could wind up being very closely related indeed.

How would we taste like?
With the exception of the fatty areas we are like horsemeat though, tough and chewy. The Italian soccer team stranded after a plane wreck could only eat the fatty tissues from the buttock and belly, and they were starving. And you would'nt want to anyway as cannibalism has been linked with various brain diseases. http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2003/04/10/prions030410.html

Guliani. lols. Out of your choices i'd say MCcain was the least horrid. I'm sure Obama means well, but you don't become president simply because you are the first black person to have a small chance to actually win.

Hobbit hypocrisy
Hobbits vs zoning comission. I'll root for the Hobbits thank you very much. Weak spot for hippies I guess. It's ain't easy to attain fully fledged eco-hippiedom, much less build a village out of tarpaulin nobodys perfect.

i was wondering, since Germanic lore calls Odin 'Wotan', is there scandinavian counterpart to these 'Nibelungs' ? Also, I though I would share my favorite characters of Norse mythology, St
