The concept of time travel (possible LOST spoilers inside) in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

The current ongoings in LOST made me think about this subject again, because as it now is i.e. Sawyer would live on the island as a member of the initiative while his much younger self lives back in the states. I for one don't believe that it would be possible to go back to a distinct point in time by whatever means. But let's assume for one moment that it IS possible. I don't want to go into the usual "What if I kill my dad before he meets my mom" paradox. Instead l

Kattee Sackhoff either is a fantastic actor or she is as crazy as she pretends to be in her roles. I mean: In Nip/Tuck she plays an anaesthesiologist who loves to fuck on nitrous oxide (laughing gas), smoke indian vision drugs and leads a murderous double life. And Starbuck is also pretty crazy.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="13" id="2110714"] AND Cavil's End of course. Yeah, it was deliciously awesome. It was the actor's idea too.[/quote] Hehehe, I guessed as much. Dean Stockwell is great at these things. I loved him as Al in Quantum Leap. Actually IMO it was HIS role not Scott Bakula's that made the show worth while.

[quote]In the end humanity is responsible for saving itself by making better choices or endlessly repeating the bad ones.[/quote] Yeah, that reference to "Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it" is about the one thing I really liked about the finale. AND Cavil's End of course. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] The rest was... well, probably the best they could come up with... But Starbucket being an returning angel... BLEH!

I really liked it. Okay, they coud have spared us the dangeling schlong of Dr. Manhattan, but as for the excessive voilence: I was surprised they actually showed it in such detail, and liked the fact that they did.

Tsk! I really don't get how some people are so amazed by this series. The mini and season 1 were nice to watch. But after that it got pretty boring for me personally. Still, I went on watching it, hoping that it would get better. Luckily we're just a few episodes away from the definitive end. I really don't know if I could have managed to watch another season... The twist with what earth is all about and who the final 5 are is quite funny though.

I have to agree with Seth. The world will go down in a handbasket and mankind will forever be stuck on this planet fighting each other's ass off, either with weapons or without. The only chance of ever getting farther than our solar system would be a stargateueske scenario or a form of alien intervention.

Anyways, MY most recent big disappointment was Mass Effect and Dead Space. Why? Because I wasn't able to play it due to the fact that I don't want DRM on my rig. Other that that I also have to join the choir concerning MoO3. Granted, with the application of some mods and selfmade adjustments it

Like I said: There are almost limitless possibilties. And with JMS in charge it definitly won't be something like "The Shadow Menace", "Attack of the Drakh", "Revenge of the Psi-Cops", "A new best Hope", "The Interstellar Alliance strikes Back" or "Return of the Rangers". [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
