I made a point to watch Cramer's own show the next day, to see if he responded at all. He didn't, aside from a couple of passive-aggressive digs ("Pardon me for trying to be entertaining"). It was pretty much back to business as usual, wacky sound effects and all. Any sympathy I might've had for him after he got spanked so thoroughly went right out the window. I can't believe anyone will still take him seriously after this. But then, I dunno why anyone took him seriously in the first place.

Can someone PLEASE tell me why Claremont had to respond to the crappy Marcus/Ms. Marvel mind control/rape storyline with even MORE Ms Marvel abuse, as far as erasing her brain and permenantly stealing away her powers? Part of his master plan to reinvent her as Binary, I guess.

Reminds me of an Avengers Annual way back where the Grandmaster pits them against a bunch of dead heroes & villains... including Norman Osborn and Bucky Barnes. Oops.

You know, if they did resort to a Prisoner/Twin Peaks mindfuck non-ending, I'd at least give them credit for sheer nerve. But I'm afraid we're more likely to get a dreary X-Files-style info-dump, once they finally introduce somebody who actually knows what's going on. In a way, I think they've become victims of their own premise. The series has been so relentlessly grim and fatalistic that nothing short of a Human-Cylon Apocalypse of Mutual Destruction is going to be believeable. I'm kind of surprised they didn't immediately turn on each other once the mutual goal of finding Earth was no longer a factor. (P.S. How hilarious would it have been if Tom Zarek had been one of the Final Five, and started having flashbacks to an earlier life as a Colonial Pilot? )

I don't know, I'm kind of burned out and cynical about the whole thing. It just seems like they're piling on the "shock" scenes because they don't have anything else to work with. Does anyone really think at this point that they can tie all this up in any kind of plausible way?

Larry Lieber used to write comics, back in the early days of Marvel, so it may be him doing the whole thing. I can see Stan doing a quick edit/polish on the dialogue, just to keep his hand in.

I still regularly game with some friends from high school. We play a heavily-modified 1st edition AD&D, with bits borrowed from other games (our current campaign has the characters dimension-hopping back and forth between D&D land and Gamma World). In our younger days, when our main DM needed a break, I would run a superhero campaign with the Villains & Vigilantes rules. That was mostly the other players humoring me, though... they much prefer fantasy games where they can loot and pillage. We've dabbled in other systems, like Star Frontiers and Palladium and who knows what else, but we always gravitate back to D&D.

I'm using Firefox 3.0, and haven't had any problems so far.
