Much to comment on-- First, Rikk is good for Alisin, and vice versa. They compliment each other, you know? I'm not at all convinced that he would have been good for Rumi. Why? Rumi had a *crush*. On someone so thick that he can't even see that. She should do a lot better than Rikk, but she first has...

Can I just point out that it's silly to debate whether Byron is a hero or anti hero? He is (was) an actual person, not a fictional character. It's like describing actual people as straight men, ingenues, comedy relief, or supporting characters; it would be a bit silly. Don't confuse the adjective wi...

Well, since you ask; he should stay. I very much doubt that there is anything in the club bylaws about dismissing someone for being a jackass. Asking someone informally to go is one thing; voting on it? It's an abuse of process. I mean really, is this not a fundamentally strange response to the prob...

Meaning, of course, that it inspires you to watch late night movies, throw rice in movie theatres and cross-dress? A ringing endorsement!

*The* John Biles? Of Ranma fanfic fame?

Yes, you have to admire an anarchist collective that manages to have an international hit and then urges their fans to steal their CD...

I second that commotion. What is it? Myst? Mortal Kombat? Battlefield Earth? Help me out here, I've been away in Poke'town for a while...

won't you take me to...Poke'town...dum de dum...

You want to see <u>The Mousetrap</u> Anyway? Noooooooooooooooooooooo! Anyway,I should have stressed that the melodrama version was in its heyday back in the mid-19th century, so it's quite possible that no one alive today has seen it--I certainly can't comment if there were later versions, though, a...

Hmmm. This reminds me of an oath I once took. An eccentric Theatre Professor (of course, there are few other kinds) pointed out that the melodrama version of UT'sC was the most widely produced, longest running play in History. He was personnally offended at claims that people believed the title belo...

Well, two thoughts occur; (And I hope T is ignoring all of this and just telling us the story in his head) T is setting up Alisin as the obvious choice more with every appearance. The whole getting off the deathbed and putting on the armour one last time thing being the latest example. Conventions a...

Okay, much to comment on; One thing to remember is that the Nazi fetish has nothing to do with real Nazis, anymore than overpower/rape fantasies have anything to do with real rape. The allure is that of sexualized evil (or evil sexuality?), and of the forbidden. People don't fantasize about G.I.s, o...

My personal view is that this had better not be the last we see of "Donna the Dom", hem. That can't just be a throwaway gag, it just can't be. (no pun intended) Anyways, folks, Alisin's fate and Rumy's are separate issues. I personally think that Rikk is the last thing on earth Rumy needs, even if t...

And what about William Gibson? Where does he fit in to all this?

Well, I just got back from Japan, saw it with a couple friends who have never read the books, and let me say this; they LOVED it, and it was thrilling to sit in a theatre with people who had no idea what was waiting in Moria or at the bridge of Khazad-dun.<P>I think reviews should really really try ...

Yes, let's remember this is a fictional disease, and a work of fiction--hece, T reserves the right to a happy (or unhappy ending) heh.

Oh read him, T, read him. Try...The Cyberiad, I think? Is a good intro. Sometimes very funny, sometimes very sad. Always very human. Asimov mixed with Chekhov. (Anton, not Pavel.)

True, but let's remember, the man had a magnificent run at life. Like when Linda McCartney passed away, I really thought, well, it's sad, but look what she did in her lifetime. What more could you ask for? Would that we were all so fortunate.<P>This song is just six words long...

Oh, well referenced. Bravo. And any conversation about Tolkien has to draw in Lewis' Narnia sooner or later. And yet Lewis, as much as I love Narnia, has something of a troubling attitude towards his female protagonists--very much a boys get swords and girls get healing cordial sort of thing. Aslan ...
