Re: ENT: Chosen Realm

To be fair, the guy that tells Archer the whole "9/10 days conflict" excuse doesn't appear to be a well versed academic, he probably knows about as much history of his people as his wife. Most people in general only know the abridged version of various historical events, and not all the details. Ho...

Re: ENT: Chosen Realm

All religions were made by men. Note - I said ''religion''. Not ''God''. I am not passing judgement on the existence of the subject of the religion. Only that the framework surrounding it was made by men. Rich men who lived two thousand years ago. This is why there is no commandment for slavery or ...

I think Chuck has mentioned it a few times, but one I believe he delved fairly deep into it was in The Empire Strikes Back review(s).

Re: Vangelis leaves us behind

That's very sad :-( I love his music and was introduced to it by my mother. He did so much with his stay here on Earth. He truly made works of beauty. [...] May he rest in peace and may his compositions keep humanity company beyond the end of time. Agreed - I hope his music persists into future gene...

Indeed. He certainly put up a good fight against the Dark Matter Entities from Andromeda and their Long Gun, but [Edit] maybe I shouldn't spoil plot points from Sergeant in Motion ...

Re: SG-1: Point of View

Thinking further on this, I am reminded also of an observation - this approach doesn't actually elevate human will or choice, but rather diminishes it. No matter what choice you made in one universe, another version of you made the opposite. According to this view you didn't choose anything, you are...

Re: SG-1: Point of View

Well, strictly speaking, our decisions are simply the product of external factors (body chemistry, life experience, current circumstances). So us making different decisions in different universes is the result of those universes diverging, rather than the cause of it. That is a fair take, though un...
