I like that explanation better than the one in the special. I'll have to check that out, if I can find it. Hopefully they'll have it on Netflix.

Which is why I don't understand why they came up with the whole platinum explanation. No offense, but I just can't see Dragons mining for rare minerals.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised that they even attempted to address it, because their explanation came off as a little hokey to me. The special made it seem as though platinum was as plentiful as water and that dragons simply scouped it up like ice cream. A better explanation to me would be that...

Believe it or not, I think their intentions were both the same -- to shepard the younger races into first one status. They just went about it in drastically different ways. Of course, the road to hell is paved with good intentions as they both proved.

So those were unpopulated planets they took out ... my bad. It certainly wasn't genocide, as you previously said. If killing all of the younger races were their overall goal they could have done it a million times over. The only reason the galaxy was not short by more races was because...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that "peace encouraging" race you're talking about was hell bent on eliminating all races that didn't agree with their philosophy. And genocide wasn't the goal of the Shadows ... if it was, they could have destroyed everyone thousands of years ago.

I hate the Vorlons even more than the Shadows. I don't know why, but they allways struck me as least hypocritical race in B5.

Probably because it looks like something from the Bizzaro Universe. There's something seriously unnatural about that commercial. Someone needs to break that thing down second by second, because there has to be something demonic about it ... some kind of subliminal message or something. It's...

SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yeah, I definitely didn't see that one coming. Even though Brother Justin is just about the right age to have been Sophie's father, it never occurred to me that he was the one that raped Sophie's mother. I guess I have to take back my earlier thoughts...

I have to admit, co*ksucker is quickly approaching motherfu*ker as my favorite curse word. Much like motherfu*ker, it can be used as a noun, an adjective, an adverb -- though I'm still unsure if it can be used as a verb. As far as lastnight's episode goes, it was definitely anit-climatic...

Re: Questions about West Wing (mostly re: Josh+Don To me, it seems that highly stylized dialogue in TV has been noticeable ever since Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith first gained widespread popularity. The problem with it nowadays, as you just alluded to, is that its now become a means...

Re: Star Wars Episode III trailer on \"The O.C.\" I don't know if it's exactly kosher to do that, but I found the link at www.aintitcoolnews.com. Just click on the story about the trailer (in the coaxial section), go to the talkback section and there are a couple of addresses there ... or...

Re: Star Wars Episode III trailer on \"The O.C.\" Damn, I just downloaded the trailer.... that scene where they all come to arrest Palpatine gave me goosebumps. I don't know if George can redeem himsellf after the last two films, but now I'm at least somewhat motivated to see Episode III.

Instead of going through all the trouble of trying to make this movie, wouldn't it save a whole lot of time to simply take $50 million in cash to the Paramont parking lot and set it on fire? I'd sooner pay to see that spectacle than this one.

Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle [now with spoiler One thing that has bothered me from the very beginning is the series' notion of "good" vs. "evil." To be honest, neither Brother Justin nor Ben neatly fall into either category. Let's not forget that Justin was a minister when the series...

Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle I'm probably wrong on this one, but I think Justin keeps Norman around because he wants his love and acceptance. Norman is the closest thing to a father he's ever really known and, like any son, he wants his father to be proud of him -- at least that's what I...

Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle I'm glad you brought that up, because I was under the impression that it was the Professor that was possessing her. I guess it makes more sense for it to be the mother. There's still a lot that I don't understand about the whole Sophie thing ... mostly why...

Swearengen is the man. Believe it or not, however, I still think he and Bullock will wind up being allies when its all said and done.

Re: Hands up who loves Carnivàle Tonight's episode was damn good. The series is definitely on a roll. I think someone else raised this point, but it's worth noting again .... they're revealing so much now that you have to wonder if the end of season 2 is the planned end of the series. I...

That is one of the most surreal commercials I've ever seen in my life. The first time I saw it, I thought I was dreaming because it looked like something out of dream -- fu*cked up scenery, buxom ladies and people that don't make any sense whatsoever. On top of all that, there's that damn song...
