aTomic, good post. I think that this is why Donaldson's Covenenant books work well when dealing with rape. For one thing, we aren't told about the giant size of Thomas Covenant's goods or let into much of the detail at all about the rape that occurred, whereas Stephen King would have told us alot mo...

Wait a second, what is that? Do you, do you smell that? It smells like, like Bullshit! The North Koreans have a lengthy track record of doing whatever they want & then returning to the table. I won't be satisfied until they are not only in the 6-party talks but also giving UN inspectors full coo...

Ok, well, it just seemed like so many that it was every. But maybe you are right.

Well, about the "others" Remember the end of Season 2 episode, Michael asks, "Who are you people?" Ben (the other's leader as we know so far) replies, "We're the good guys Michael". Also, remember when Ben was pretending to be Henry Gale, and they questioned him about t...

I don't think King is overly gratuitous. Besides far worse happens in real life. The worst ending to a King book I've read has to be Desperation . After such a chilling start it was a real let down. I suppose that if we looked past the cleanable ceramic bowls of our toilets we would really know how...

You're right. The sweathouse & the return of Jon Locke to his mysterious ways is very fulfilling. Much better than the whiny woe-is-me daddy stuff. Also, Charlie has been a real hoot lately with his wry little smiles & dry little sarcasms. But it's quite funny & I like this far better th...

1: The stories are paced well. Unlike some writers who go on to describe everything in extensive detail for too many chapters, SK gives just enough narrative to propel the story and then it's back to the adventure. 2: He enjoys writing himself into corners. I really love that about him. He will come...

Okay, case in point, IT. This is a fantastic book cover to cover, with the sole exception of the ending. All of a sudden we have a turtle as the good guy??? Where's the kitten. Meow! Good grief. Sexual deviation is rampant in that book. They gangbang the girl & one of the kids is offered a blowj...

Actually, the answer to your question is on DVD Season 1 Boxed set. They explain how they do all that & why it looks that way. I wish it were more mysterious, but it's just budget constraints.

Nah! It was oil got you involved in Iraq. Seems more to me as not so much a justification as a method to push NK to a position where they create a justification for an action if the US so chooses; like goading someone into a fight so you can say they started it. Goodness. This is what I was referri...

1: In any horror story he writes, something sexually deviant always happens.

And while I agree that it could be terrifying, does it have to be in every horror story????



2: The dude just cannot finish a book well.

It's his greatest flaw.

Reminds me of the last line of a movie:

"Mom, Dad, don't touch it. It's evil!"


And, of course, they both quickly do what the boy said not to do.





Don't look behind you now, but...

Well Lost just like everything else is not perfect. Very good, but not perfect.

However, if I were to speculate, the burning would be from the medicine itself.

You guys are fun.

You take yourselves seriously enough to enjoy a good debate, but not so seriously that you can't see the humorous side of life.

Sawyer got crabs from having sex with someone in Tallahassee Florida. You don't buy a salve ointment for herpes, you take pills. But crabs are bugs. So you need something external to put on them to kill them. That's what Sawyer & Jack were talking about. Of course, now that you know that I know,...

Even the United States has limited power. Of course they pick & choose.

Sounds more like envy that it isn't your country more than anything. I'm not blind. I realize more than most that the USA isn't perfect & that the propaganda is the same as anywhere else to make the poo smell better. But I think that most educated americans also realize that it's poo as well. Ne...

Avatar, you are not reading my posts. You think you are, but you are not.

I continously have stated that nothing nuclear should be done, UNLESS they attempt to launch a nuclear missile at another country.

And when that happens, the missile is shot out of the air, and THEN we nuke them.

It's official now. They have nuclear capability. I guess since they only want two-party talks with the United States and that is is their stated reasoning for the nuclear test, we should appease them. You know, just like when a child misbehaves and you give them a candy bar as a reward for it. ( <- ...
