DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Thought it was brilliant. I can see I'm really going to enjoy this with all the comic book and history references. Also, I liked how it ties into Arrow when they find the VHS tape of the Professor researching Vandal Savage from the 70s.

Heroes Reborn is really Season 5 but set a few years later as they refer to events in previous seasons as well as the Season 4 finale. Also, a few characters (actors) do return from the original series. But like the previous seasons, the quality declined and this was no exception to Heroes Reborn. If anything, it did put closure on the Season 4 finale and finishes off the original series.
-
A just and humane outcome, methinks with Heroes Reborn being cancelled. Leave superheroes to the experts (Marvel & DC), Mr Kring!
-
The main problem I find with Heroes Reborn is the ending of the latest episode feels like nothing was achieved in the whole season. One last episode to watch and it's done.

So there's no questions at all for you. There's a point being made, however thinly. I wouldn't support it as being in good taste. However, Tacky or in bad taste? Considering the picture of the dead kid was already plastered all over the world to drive a political and humanitarian agenda. The taste had already been fouled. Oh and you didn't answer my question with the link I posted whether using the dead boy was tacky. I'll post the link again. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/aylan-kurdis-death-recreated-30-6415214

Are you outraged Sakai? Or are you just jumping to conclusions as always.

The question mark is the key. They are asking the question. They aren't saying this kid will grow up and become a rapist. The complete opposite of it in fact. They are the ones asking the question to all those demonstrating at the moment against helping refugees and closing borders etc, trying to justify it by painting all refugees with the same paintbrush as the disgusting minority who committed disgraceful acts in Cologne. They are asking the question, "so they are all the same are they? Well what about Aylan? Would he have been the same?" The poor boy whos heartbreaking image was splashed across the entire western media to personalise and underline the plight of the innocents in that region of the world, drawing almost universal sympathy across the western world. Maybe its just trying to make people think about the consequences of their actions. If all we ever see is opinions we agree with we never are encouraged to consider the opposing viewpoint. If people want to post dead toddlers all over the media to push the immigration campaign, why can't those who are against it do the same. I thought it was a cheap shot when it originally came out and was not shocking or provocative because there's death all over the world. I only viewed it as the media pests trying to use pictures of dead toddlers to score some ratings and sell papers. In the full context, it raises more questions than anything, about many things. People will choose to be outraged or applaud it, but they would be missing the point. It doesn't count if it doesn't push your agenda, eh.

Was the use of the dead boy in things like the below link tacky? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/aylan-kurdis-death-recreated-30-6415214 If you are outraged by this cartoon, then equally you should have been outraged by the used of a dead boy as propaganda. Many lives could have been saved had people not been encouraged to risk themselves on rickety boats. Especially when they were already safe in Turkey. People who are outraged by this cartoon are missing the point. And there's a lot of questions the cartoon asks.

That's one thing I need to do today. Start getting things together for my tax return in 6 months. Will sit down and start sorting stuff out this afternoon.

I didn't realise Bowie's son is Duncan Jones. Film Director of Moon and the upcoming Warcraft movie.
-
What are the justifications for it?
-
Yes, quite shocked with the news. Have been listening to Bowie for the last few months. He obviously didn't want the world to know he was fighting Cancer. Just like Freddie Mercury with his disease. RIP Bowie (Ninja'd by Meshugger with the video with Freddie Mercury.}

When I think back to Al Gore and Bush. Gore was boring, Bush was funny. Americans need to make America funny again.

Watched the Shannara episodes and thought they were good. Never read the books. Is there an ending to this series?
-
I'm hoping Trump becomes President. Can't be any worse than some of the previous presidents the U.S. has had. Even if he's worse, it should be humorous to watch.

You don't know if there is a problem?

US town rejects solar farm after residents say it would suck up all the sunlight http://www.smh.com.au/environment/un-climate-conference/us-town-rejects-solar-farm-after-residents-say-it-would-suck-up-the-sunlight-20151213-glmqa6.html Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, reportedly told the council meeting she was concerned the panels would prevent photosynthesis and so stop the growth of nearby plants. -
One BBQ food place is giving discounts for open carry. http://www.khou.com/story/news/local/2016/01/01/cypress-restaurant-offers-open-carry-discount/78190276/ Well, I suspect those who are intending to harm wouldn't be carrying guns openly.

I thought this was interesting. Toting guns is now legal in Texas http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-06/wal-mart-workers-on-pistol-patrol-as-law-lets-texans-tote-guns People can get pretty worked up in a retail environment and can understand if employees preferred it if the customer wasn't armed. Customer: "Can you do this any cheaper". Employee: "No" Customer: *puts hand on gun* "Are you sure?". Black Friday sales with open carry. Have the SWAT team on standby.

When a white person gets called a chimp, it's humour. When it's a black person, it's racism. -
What would you do if you had unlimited time and money?

I would build a dyson sphere for the entire universe... and when the universe hits the edges of the sphere the universe will collapse on itself. -
Have some people over and their 5 year old daughter just threw up all down the stairs. Fortunately we don't have carpet and it's wooden floor boards throughout the house. Out comes the mop & bucket and after 5 minutes of cleaning I have to take a break as I was convulsing and about to throw up as well. Geezus, the smell. I've left my girlfriend to clean up the rest. I couldn't take it anymore.

I like this idea. Limitless is becoming a reality.
