Hadn't realized there wasn't a thread for them. Back around 1980, I found a book of small posters from Marvel. One page per character/group, with a little blurb. I was at the very very beginning of my collecting days, and didn't know some of the characters. In particular Shang Chi and the X-Men sto...

Not the part that hints at an afterlife but the relief from the pains and care of the world. I'm not going to go on and on about it, but this is exactly what I am talking about. There is NO relief. Because there is nothing left of you that can feel relieved, nor remember being in pain. You're erase...

I feel much the same but it makes me value my life experience and want to protect those that I care about in the here and now. It also lets me be comfortable about being absolutely vicious in punishing crime. Punish now while they are alive or it's never going to happen. I also embrace Tolkien's ide...

Over the years I've grown further and further solidified in my belief that there is nothing to believe. We're born, we live as best we can and then we die. As I get older, suffer more personal physical issues, face death a few times and attend more and more funerals, nothing has made me think any di...

Another awesome post Wayfriend.
I'm going to have to read it a few more times and take it all in before responding.

Yeah, I guess. lol That quote does seem to answer my question. Worlds within worlds within worlds...I wish he would explore that a little more. Maybe like: The Creator has insane. A mirror opens up in the Land. Out come three people from Mordant's Need, The Gap Cycle and the God's War. They're on a ...

Yeah, I really have no idea where they're going with this.

And wtf is the whole thing about [spoiler]the Father being an alien????[/spoiler]

Holy shit! This show is still going on. Just a few more episodes until the last one and then start the spin offs that will keep it alive on life support. My wife still watches it and I'll occasionally pay attention. I was a huge fan initially but damn, several seasons ago I said enough. Nothing happ...

All three seasons were great.
Even the soundtrack songs are really good.
Can't wait for Season 4.

Loved both seasons.
Totally different kind of superhero show.

Just read the comic too and that's even more insane.

Love this show! Just finished my second watch through. "Is this your cooler?" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The opening credits have oil rigs shown and the very first episode had Costner get into a car accident with a truck moving oil rig equipment but it's never mentioned. I keep waiting for it...

This is the real reason:

The other thing that I think doesn't get enough attentions is that the Creator was walking and talking to Covenant and Linden in the "real" world. I feel like that's a huge deal on a cosmic level. I know Donaldson only creates enough to tell the part of the story he wants to tell and we'll...

I decorate the yard and sometimes the inside too. It opened up a creative side of me that I didn't know I had. Plus with Halloween, if something looks all beat up and messy it fit with the theme so you don't even have to be very good at it to present something cool looking. I do it for myself and fo...

Yes and no. Several years ago we ported it to google voice so there's no physical phone in the house anymore. My wife gets a text if some calls the home number and if they leave a message she gets that in text form too. At the time it made sense to keep that number but now it seldom gets dialed. It'...

Lucimay?

The fact that the Worm wasn't actually the core of the Earth was a huge disappointment to me.
I can't even express how awesome that concept was to me!
And then....nope.
Just really big.

When I think back at the Last Chronicles some things really stuck in my memory as being totally awesome and some not so much. Wildwood's confrontation with the Viles being one of the awesome ones. But you're right, I feel like I could skip around all 4 books and not miss much. I should make a thread...

I don't get it either.

I also don't get how people are effected by it.
My sister always says it messes up her sleep patterns and I'm always like...what are you talking about.

It was a self imposed exile after I announced my support of Linden.
