Frost Warden

Not terribly surprised that Sophia was turned. However, it shows that Hershel is a bigger jerk than ever. He knew a little girl was in there, but let Rick and company keep searching for her, for days on end. It must be nice to know what happened to one's family, but keep others in the dark.

I expect a huge confrontation with the next episode...

All good advice, though I have to say that Statler and Waldorf in you sig make it look like they are mocking the poor victim.

It'd be nice if they kept the fog in some form. Maybe the use of phasing can make a good compromise? Have the players complete intro missions before the fog is lifted. That way, you can choose to complete those missions and move the storyline along, or do the street sweeps in the fog.

I had always hoped for a TF based in Dark Astoria, where the goal was to free it from the BP. At the end of the TF, you could have been marked for the phasing, so it would no longer appear foggy to you.

It's just sad that one of the few zones that has actual character is being obliterated to make way for more Incarnate content. Maybe I will like the new Astoria zone. The fog never bothered me so much, but it provided a nice atmosphere. Too many of the other zones seem vanilla in comparison; I just liked the variety. However, I have to say that no content there just made it a dead zone, so it does need some improvement.

or D) Fox will consign the show to Sci-Fi Death Slot Friday, where it will languish, and then they can say, "See? We gave it a chance, and it got even poorer ratings! We have to cancel it!"

But I'm not bitter. No sir.

The timeline is wonky, for sure. Most of the time, you can just let it go, because one day is similar to the next. However, a missing person for a week? Even an adult would have a hard time staying alive for that long by themself in zombie land.

I'm also curious about weather changes; it's apparently still summer there, as they've commented on the heat, and everyone is wearing summer appropriate gear. What happens when they get to fall/winter? It's true that the South doesn't get as cold as New England or the Northern Plain states, but you can still get ice storms and freezing weather there. Do they all have winter gear, or do we foresee a raid on a sports store for outdoor gear?

Damn. I think I need to invent a time machine, just so I can get through my reading list.

While I've read quite a few on this list, it still staggers me to see how many books/authors I haven't touched yet.

First off, thanks for the replies to my original question.

Now, it seems odd that we would need two recipes to be able to use guns in both hands. Will the unlock option at Empyrean Michael, for those DP and Thugs toons, require two purchases as well, one for each hand? If not, why the difference?

Just looked in AH under Recipes, under Other, and there is a recipe for Maelstrom's Pistols. It is a purple, no history, 21 bidders.

This just get added today, or has it been there, and I missed it?

Lex Luthor is one of my favorite villains. Why? Because he believes that he is saving the world from Superman. Lex honestly believes that Superman is a bad influence on the world, despite how many lives that have been saved. Lex may go about this in all the wrong ways, but he honestly believes he has the world's best interests at heart.

Dr. Doom is very similar to this; he wants to rule the world because he believes that he is best suited for it. Yes, he does have a massive ego. However, the citizens of Latveria have prospered as a nation. It may be a heavy handed rule, but again, he recognizes only himself as a competent ruler.

As for the bad - evil - villain, evaluate these scenarios:

1. Cop stops an armed robbery. In preventing harm to bystanders, he shoots and kills the robber. Saving bystander = good, but killing = bad. Is the cop bad for killing?

2. Same scenario as 1, except it's a normal citizen instead of a cop.

3. Time traveler comes to the past to prevent an armed robber from killing a bystander. Would future knowledge of a murder be considered an acceptable reason to kill the robber before the crime? Is the time traveler considered an evil person for killing someone with no apparent (to us) reason?

Morals are usually decided by the majority, but how do they apply when dealing with a different culture? Can morals change, or are they permanent? Can the ends truly ever justify the means, no matter the means? Hard to say. Robin Hood is a hero, because he gave his illegal gains to the poor. (Well, a vigilante in CoH speak, but he's still regarded as the hero of the story.)

Painting good and evil as strictly black/white is a little naive, IMO. Every person has a motive for what they do, and it doesn't always fit into small, tidy packages. Good things are done for the wrong reasons, and evil things are done for the right reasons.

Where is the line drawn for good vs. evil? Who draws the line? Different people will give different answers, and I am not sure any one person is qualified to make those judgements.

I believe that he may be referring to the server hamsters; no hamsters were harmed with running at that high of a speed. Luckily, none of the hamsters were fat, and therefore did not fall over from heart attacks, etc.
