HikageMaru makes awesome banners.

Hikage, I keep forgetting. Your sig bar is awesome O0 Your sense of humor should be decorated for creative valor under fire.

In the animated show Sealab 2021, Pod 6 was said to be populated largely by jerks. As such, no one was ever saddened in any of the episodes where it was blown to kingdom come.

I actually had a dream once that the fan artists on the forums were given their own green Battlemaster icon. The dream then devolved into completely unrelated and irrelevant stuff, but I remembered that part of it.

There are only two honest groups in the galaxy. Wookies and Mandalorians. The wookies you can trust and the Mandalorians aren't hiding the fact that they'd sell you in chains for the right price.

According to the prequel trilogy, Sith also never lie, though they can be misinformed. Jedi otoh, could even be lying if their lips are not moving, as some possess telepathic abilities. When in doubt, just assume that the Guardians of Peace for Ten Thousand Years are lying, you will be correct.

Unless I am a Jedi, in which case all the above is a lie.

If they are waving a giant glow stick at you they are lying :D

From what I gather the Jedi were a bunch of elitist snobs, and I applaud there destruction at the end of the prequels.

I refute you. According to Richard Hatch and Rob Liefeld, Commander Apollo and President Tigh find Earth via time warp. And Former Commander Adama meets the man he was named for. The leader of the thirteenth colony, Adam.

I refute you, that's either in a comic book or a novel. And while we all wish BSG: 1980 didn't exist, the fact of the matter is it does and predates any comic books or novels.

The last episode of the original BSG series, they were in deep space, and were walking away from an old, essentially, television
receiver. On it, when their backs were turned, was footage just coming in of the moon-landing.

He was also voiced by Starscream, from the sound of it. ;)

Optimus Prime was also Motormaster. And he went by the name Venger, and wanted to take over a world populated by Dragons, that had a lot of Dungeons in it.

Anastasius Focht is really Fredrick Steiner.

Focht was also a poet. "Anastasius" is from the Greek word meaning resurrection and, depending on who you ask, Focht either means "leader" or "sword fighter."

That Gandalf took nine walkers on a really long walk. Did the same for some dwarves a few decades earlier. Hasn't he ever heard of buying them some Horses or asking some Eagles for a lift?

He was a health freak. How do you think he lived to such an old age?

Focht is close to the Belgian/Germanic word Voght, which also means "fighter/soldier" so I'm certain Focht is related to it and not so much leader, though he is certainly that. The root of it makes it rather close to the English term Housecarl.

Those Giant Eagles represent Manwe, the lord of the winds and skies, who himself represents the will of Illuvatar, the One God.

So the Giant Eagles are actually a Dues-ex Machina in a very literal sense. O0 Not too many authors can get away with that.

True that. :) The Deus ex Machina had been criticized since the time of the ancient Greeks, who really hated it when authors got lazy about the events of their stories and the ridiculous predicaments that their characters sometimes escaped from.

It's sort of an "elder rune" of literary criticism.
