Earthsea quiz
I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it (yeah, right :)), but I love LeGuin's <I>Earthsea</I> stuff. I was stunned and saddened (dare I say outraged?) that there was not a single Earthsea quiz at that site! *sigh* OK, so here's what I'm going to submit. If anyone has any feedback before I do, I'd apprec...

The Norse gods very much reflect the people who invented them. Yes, the giants were their enemies. But not because they were the good guys and the giants were necessarily more evil. Odin and his brothers slew the first of all beings, the giant Ymir. No reason, they just did it. Then they made the di...

I'm tied with danlo at 14. Now somebody explain to me why Gandalf is rated below Balrogs or any elf! :x I'm not happy about that at all! He killed a Balrog, for crying out loud! He later said (I don't suspect he was exaggerating) that he was more dangerous than anybody but Sauron. He was the masterm...

I'm not sporadically blind, right? You just added Classical? Thanks. And if you ever want to hear a lot of rambling about the various aspects of genius of classical music, I'd be happy to go on and on and on :) That's what I got my B.A. in. (Classical music, not rambling. Rambling is a natural thing...

here's where i run into problems being a hebrew scholar instead of a biblical scholar. talmid vs talmud. the only problem i see with Elohim being indicitave of the trinity is that as an Old Testament word, the writers at that time would have no knowledge of the trinity. If I may be so bold as to an...

duchess, Ever heard of Nickel Creek? I just got their self-titled cd, because I saw a video of theirs on CMT a few times. (Not particularly a country music fan myself, but a woman at work is, so it's on sometimes.) They have definite bluegrass roots, even produced by Allison Kraus. One track is call...

I sobbed like a baby, I am not ashamed to admit, when TC gave the dead giants their release from damnation at the end of TWL. :cry: Mother of God, Yes!! It's kinda funny to be talking with another guy (owner of a comic book store), both of us saying how we cry at that part. Couple of wimps! That wh...

For the Giants
Ah, my friends, none can bring tears to my eyes like the Giants! Their fierce joys, and the depths of their pains! OK, here's some of my favorite examples of Giant beauty and wisdom. Some of my favorite <I>happy</I> moments. I'll also get to some the sad ones if nobody beats me to them. The last two...

Hmm, not sure about James Marsters as Covenant. Strikes me as being too young, buff and attractive. No prob. He could be uglied. But I think emotionally he could do it. Ooh, and how about the Eliza Dushku (Faith) to play Lord Elena? Yes! I love that too!! And Oz could be Amok. Never gives you a str...

mind-melds
How many mind-melds have we seen in literature/fantasy/movies/etc? The five that come to my mind right away are the <I>Haruchai</I>, the Lords, <I>Star Trek's</I> Borg, <I>Star Trek's</I> Vulcans, and the Starslammers (which is a fantastic comic book). The Borg and the Starslammers have the most int...

Re: Once more: names
Btw, am I the only who thinks it's strange Kevin was afraid to use the Power of Command, but thought it was Ok to do the Ritual of Desecration? This point has always interested me. I assume Kevin couldn't think of anything to Command that had a better chance to kill Foul than the Ritual. Little did...

Well, Fist and Faith is, as you all remember (don't break my heart and tell me you don't :)), something the Bloodguard said a few times. I guess I'd call it their battle cry. But I'd say it's more their creed, the way they define themselves. [It could be for all <I>Haruchai</I>, but SRD never actual...
