Either you are all as unobservant as I am when writing or you are just very polite. :) However it is completely wrong of me to say that the time would stretch to one hour. Because it is the other way around; 10 seconds of earth time would stretch to 1 hour of land time. I hate making mistakes like t...

I agree with you Sevotharte. I am just no rereading the second chronicles and the general assumption there is that in the intervening 10 years of earth time; 3500 to 4000 years have passed in the Land. This gives us a ratio of 350 to 400 in time differential. But if this were true the 10 seconds tha...

It has been a long time since I have seen a worse movie than Signs. I could tell you a lot of things about it that I did not like, but generally I will just say that it :x , and thats about it.

I thought the Outer Limits were some really old TV shows. :)

I bought two vhs cassettes with old episodes on them, but those were from 1963. I never thought the show were still on.

I've never been able to figure out exactly what role the Creator played in the summoning. The Lords hoped the Creator played a part in it, which gave them hope. And the Creator certainly did choose TC and LA. But what that means is beyond me. Foul also chose them. Since they're brothers, or possibl...

I like it!! I reminds me of the names of some of the dragons in <I>Earthsea</I>. Orm was hugely powerful. Later, there was Orm Embar and Orm Irian. I always considered the "Orm" name in Earthsea more like a title. (The norwegian word "orm" means worm or snake.) Could "Caer&...

if that holds true for the being who was first used to break the law of death, a being of such power, i think the other dead Lords would be at least as limited. But presumably this was before the breaking of the law of life? I wonder what kind of power the ancients would be capable of wielding afte...

I have no idea what most of those things are, but I kind of like chocolate. In moderate amounts.

Subbornly posting when I have nothing to say I will just say that I cannot really remember any really funny things in the chronicles.

Well, there is obviously a difference of opinions here. I will just say what my take on this is. I believe that a forum such as this should be an interactive forum.
