But Kai Winn wasn't faithful, as she was being underhanded and using unsavory methods to get her position. That she never had a vision was a sign that she shouldn't have been Kai, but she couldn't accept that. I tend to see Winn as someone who was once sincerely devout, but became as much about the...

Dragon Age: Origins is still my favorite, hands down. Good combination of epic quest and personal villain, awesome companions (with a couple of exceptions), and the lore felt like it had so much potential. Least favorite was Dragon Age: Inquisition. Buggy at launch, even on console. Too much map wit...

Heard about his passing, yesterday. Very sad. B5 was my favorite show and Vir was my favorite character. I'm beginning to wonder if this show is somehow "cursed."

Any interest in a thread for new and "new to you" weekly comic book releases? Pull lists, reviews, recs, etc? Here's the weekly new release schedule. It updates on Sundays. This week, I'll probably be grabbing: Dragon Age: Knight Errant #1 Wonder Woman #22 Star Trek/Green Lantern (v2) #6 Lazarus Sou...

SFDebris, AV Club, MovieBob, and Jim Sterling are the only ones I read/view with any regularity.

More recently, "Fifty Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek" also had a bit to say about Gene's womanizing/lewdness/sexed-up SF concepts.
