RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Didn't Bioware try to close their boards once before? I can't say I was over there much since they went to the EA style forums, but I do think it sad that companies actually think that social media is a better place to communicate with fans than a message board. My experience is that level of contact with fans goes down significantly when a company shunts communication off to their social media accounts.

Illusion
You haven't defined what you mean by "crossed eye" nor how this relates to humans being "educated stupid" which you also haven't defined Your use of the word "lucid" doesn't appear to make sense in the context of the sentence; I can't tell if you're implying control (as in lucid dreaming but that's a specific phrase definition) or implying "easy to understand" You tell us the pictures mean something and then argue that the meaning proves your theory. You can't define something and use that definition to prove something else in any sort of logic I'm aware of without first proving the definition is correct (at least for that instance if not universally)

What's on the idiot box?
How does one go about rating the potentially incalculable? I know you said you were joshing, but theoretically there's no upper limit to Hulk's strength. The longer he fights and the madder he gets the stronger he gets. So if you're going to beat him in a fight, its going to be done early, eventually his strength curve will take him past you. I felt compelled to both like and stinkeye this post. Dooo eeet, its pretty fun. Not that I don't want to, I just have too many shows to watch right now.

Not seen Dark Matter, but cast list says The Android is played by Zoie Palmer who was a regular supporting cast member on Lost Girl (which I've only seen a few episodes of).

http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/08/suicide-squad-review This is particularly harsh "Suicide Squad is bad. Not fun bad. Not redeemable bad. Not the kind of bad that is the unfortunate result of artists honorably striving for something ambitious and falling short. Suicide Squad is just bad. It’s ugly and boring, a toxic combination that means the film’s highly fetishized violence doesn’t even have the exciting tingle of the wicked or the taboo. (Oh, how the movie wants to be both of those things.) It’s simply a dull chore steeped in flaccid machismo, a shapeless, poorly edited trudge that adds some mildly appalling sexism and even a soupçon of racism to its abundant, hideously timed gun worship. But, perhaps worst of all, Suicide Squad is ultimately too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting. At least revolting would have been something." That author admits to hating Ayer's previous films, referring to them as "repugnant" which makes me think he wasn't in the market for this film. But who knows? I won't until I see it.

I wasn't giving you the business, just trying to be thorough. Interestingly enough, I figured the "Three Little Pigs" may be the reference you didn't get because you are born/live in Greece but I guess those types of stories are international. For some reason I assumed it was US origin or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68kSK_y8S5s

I hope you watched 'the Gathering' before Season 1 as that's the pilot episode that aired the year before. Thanks to posters here, I did. And I'm 5 episodes (+The Gathering) in now. So just started watching a month and a half ago.

RIP I'm watching Season One of B5 for the first time an episode a week (so not gotten real far), but what I've seen of him, he has a natural charisma in the role.

The New Defenders were formed by The Beast. That one formed after Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor and Silver Surfer have to stop being The Defenders or else cause the destruction of the world. The Last Defenders were formed by Nighthawk (initially with Tony Stark as part of the 50 State Initiative, later without Stark or government approval). The Fearless Defenders were formed by Valkyrie (but it was really more of a spin-off of the FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS mini, than a continuation of previous Defenders stuff). So there is precedence for non-Strange formed teams.

A real and unexpected problem for South Africa
I think in retrospect that my misreading of - and thus confusion over - Bruce's post is because of the term "act out". The US usually has it meaning something like "behaving badly" and often in reference to children, so the use of the term seemed both inappropriate for the severity of action and perhaps a little patronizing. But as I thought about it more, I think its clear that he really meant either "to translate to action" or perhaps "to behave in a socially unacceptable often self-defeating manner especially as a means of venting painful emotions". The fun of the English language.

Prepare yourself to be in a high dudgeon, then, Hulk is wandering the nine realms in next years Thor: Ragnarok, so also unavailable.

Silver Surfer is at FOX so, not in the NETFLIX series. Namor's rights are complicated (but no longer at Universal) and he's not in it either. Neither is Doctor "I have a movie coming out in November" Strange. The line-up ends up being more HEROES FOR HIRE than DEFENDERS.

A real and unexpected problem for South Africa
I'm not sure - regardless of the background circumstances involved - that killing an entire family could be accurately described as "acting out".

I just can't stand people talking in circles around one another sometimes.

Dallas Sniper Shootings
*Ahem*. For the edification of the readers, a summary of the existing confusion follows. To whit: "You have many highly trained ex-military people in the US, some of them will be suffering from forms of PTSD and some of them will respond like the last two shootings where these guys actually think the police are trying to kill African Americans" (KEYWORDS: "Police are trying to kill African-Americans") "I wonder where they got that idea. May be from the first African American president?" (IMPLICATION: "Obama has suggested Police are trying to kill African-Americans") "Come on, its grotesquely unfair to suggest Obama has suggested that police in the USA need to be killed" (SHIFT OF FOCUS: "Obama has suggested police need to be killed?") "That's not what you said in the post I responded to, you're moving the goalposts." (ATTEMPT TO REFOCUS: "Obama has suggested police need to be killed?" is not the same as "Obama has suggested that Police are trying to kill African-Americans") "My whole point is some ex-marines who have PTSD believe there is a orchestrated campaign to kill African Americans. You then said Obama has contributed towards this view...I said 'Obama has never suggested this' " (RE-CLARIFICATION OF POINT MISSING KEY FOCUS SHIFT IN PREVIOUS POST WITH REITERATION OF KEYWORDS: "ochestrated campaign to kill African Americans") "No, you said Obama never suggested that cops should be killed, but I never claimed that." (REBUTTLE: "Your characterization of my position is mistaken, I never suggested Obama said Police should be killed but that he has implied that police are out to kill African Americans") "Well thats exactly what it seemed you were suggesting from the post above but no matter, it was just a misunderstanding" (STILL MISSES FOCUS SHIFT) "That post inferred Obama gave them the idea Police were trying to kill blacks." (POINTS OUT SHIFT OF FOCUS...AGAIN) "Yes but thats my point, Obama did not give the idea Police were trying to kill African Americans....or am I really confused" (STILL MISSES FOCUS SHIFT) We sincerely hope this helps. Play nice. Yours Truly, Everyone else reading this conversation.

Baton Rouge Police Shooting
The homeless numbers are apparently increasing amid younger veterans, as I understand it, based on the way the economy has went.
