The people who *don't* want spoilers... I'm calling the people who insist that everything must be shiny and new (i.e. spoiler-free) to be enjoyable "ADD-headed buffoons". I can only imagine they flit frantically from new thing to new thing, desperately seeking out the next exciting surprise to use up and then toss aside like some hateful reminder of what it's like to actually enjoy something because it's good rather than because it was unknown, before inevitably running out of new things and dieing in a spectacular flash of boredom.

If hearing the ending would have ruined the experience for him, it wouldn't be a "cool" movie. The real problem is all the ADD-headed buffoons who think things can't be enjoyable when they're not shiny and new. Those kids need to get off my lawn, where the grass is old and dry and I like it that way.

I don't really mind it, myself. If the episode is worth watching, it's worth watching whether I'm surprised by some dramatic reveal or not.

I love the character in the books - indeed, I'd even go so far as to name him the actual protagonist of the story - and the actor has nailed the character in my eyes thus far (though I'd agree with a previous poster's SO's assessment that he's not ugly/physically twisted enough).

Yes, really. Being a Tanker might make it *easier* by sheer dint of survivability, but even your quoted surmise indicates that it isn't being a Tanker that's ultimately getting the job done. Hence, the feat speaks *more* (note: not "entirely") for the effectiveness of non-Tanker abilities, and being a Tanker is *largely* (again: not "entirely") incidental. But "I soloed a GM and it didn't matter a whole lot what AT I was" doesn't make for as sensational a tagline.

Meh. It doesn't do me any good to be angry at my government, what with being powerless to stop them.

Indeed there is. Absolute matter control would allow you to change the physical nature of anything to anything else. "Limitless shapeshifting" would allow you to change the physical nature of yourself into anything else.

The combination of which is why I thought of the Spartacus miniseries rather than either Gladiator or 300. Indeed, I even called it 'Spartacusville' when discussing it with a friend (yes, I have a few of those, hard as it may be to believe ).

Not me. It never performs all the miraculous feats everyone attributes to it when I use it, it just stands around looking horrible (and not in a good way). And then when I do Carnival missions it performs all those miraculous feats for the enemy and makes life annoying. To Helheim with that lump of game designer's belly button lint.

Indeed, it was a physical limitation set in place. Rassilon had the power to make such defining rules. Still, there are any number of ways to explain getting around such a limitation. Especially for someone clever enough to have thwarted both Rassilon and Omega in his lifetime.

I thought it was fun. But then, I also liked The Saint.

Actually, I believe it was the President of Gallifrey who organized that whole ordeal. And as I recall, it was Rassilon himself who set the limit on regenerations.

Oh? They fixed it so you can see the attack animations with the Shield out, then?

I neither consider these "bad" movies, nor do I feel guilty about liking them.

I love it for the Star Trek Photon Torpedo sound effect.

I love Force Bubble for its hugeness.

I love Thunderous Blast (especially with Boost Range) for the mass of ranged jittery death.
