Honestly, I think we're supposed to stay away from heavy swears anyway. Occasionally they're not a problem, but dropping the F-bomb in a public forum frequented by kids (at least, it was. or could be) is probably not a good idea in any case.

Maybe he got slashed with 3P0 or something. Or maybe someone tampered with his alignment.

For the Mission: Impossible characters, look here.

We do have a common ground in our loathing of bad writing. Beyond that, you can't really expect anything.

I remember feeling the same way during the second Bush election--we had members on both sides of that one. It was weird to me, I admit, but I try not to let different political views bother me unless people are generally being asshats about it. Heck, one of my good friends in real life is a right-wing conservative Catholic who wants to be a lawyer. Fortunately, he also has a sense of humor. We used to have very interesting conversations in the cafeteria. *g*

I regretfully confess my ignorance of the European Parliament issues, but that's all outside of what we're about here. Just remember: everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.

FicPsych does attempt to keep the canons out of the way--could you imagine if one of them got infected and the disease spread?--but Luke is just the sort of person to ignore his own safety and leap into the fray. {= P I suppose they'll just have to confiscate his lightsaber afterward.

Why do you suppose he was there in the first place, though?

As for the rest, I'm afraid I've never even heard of them before.

~Neshomeh

That's just enough information for me to pretend I know what I'm talking about. Thanks. ^_~

They can easily cause trouble as they get better and get tired of being stuck with each other. ^_^

I assume you gave their names as Surname Given-name...? Or the other way around?

~Neshomeh

I actually need them to be on the mend and getting sick of being kept in FicPsych after weeks of quarantine. I'd imagined someone who would have, for one reason or another, required sedation between sessions with Dr. Freedenberg, if that suggests anyone to you.

…of Luke Skywalker turning his lightsaber on the bugs.

I'll also suggest Jim Phelps, Rollin Hand, Willie Armitage, Barney Collier, and Cinnamon Carter (the Impossible Missions Force in seasons 2 and 3).

Shindo Hikaru and Akira Toya. Both males from the anime Hikaru no Go. Ages anywhere between 10 to 16 years of age (depending on where in the serise the story takes place)

Reason for being in FicPsych, in practically every fanfic with them in it, they are paired together. They are rivals and that rivalry, for some reason, is interpreated as lust for the other. It is not, they would never pair. (But that does not stop the `Suthors.)

So, after the nth time of being slashed together, they both snap. Thier minds are too fried from agents going in an fixing the story line. They need time in the psych ward to heal before they can go back.

Hope this helps!

Okay, I haven't been to see the film yet, I've not read reviews or anything.

I didn't need to be spoiled for that. Thanks a lot.

Eru knows I spent a fair bit of time scouring TOS for in-jokes and references.

Thank you for the nice review. :D

I don't think I've read that many more recent missions, so I don't know what the current trends are, but this one did fit the style of TOS quite closely. I enjoye dit.

are meltas, storm bolters, and plasma guns allowed or not? I'm going for comedy, not straight warhammer...

I'll have to re-read the whole thing later. Also, you can't blame the SO too much for not knowing about vampires - there are so many different kinds floating around.

I'm looking forward to the last of it.

What, don't you carry a little book-light around? They're terribly useful.

...make it original football rather than modern. In other words, weapons are allowed.

When I heard a film called G-Force was coming out, I immediately of the old eighties anime that I watched as a (very small) kid. That would've been fun. Then I find out it's about a bunch of guinea pigs-turned-spies... >.>

Don't get me wrong, I like guinea pigs, but...damn. >.>

I went to see it with my sister, and while we both thought it wasn't a ''bad'' film, it really wasn't that great either. I know it's impossible to stuff everything in a book that long into a two-hour film, but they could've at least ''tried''.

I remember you, a little vaguely but your name is familiar. Welcome back.

It's scary to find out your friends suddenly turn out to hold views that turn your stomach.

The thing I found scariest about the EP elections, though, was that a lot of the people who wanted to be elected into EP didn't even know how they can influence policy in EP and for which policy influences they need to be in the national parliament (these "politicians" wanted to vote no on things in EP which the EP doesn't even vote on, and for which a no in the national parliament actually carries weight).

I'm sure every countries has sent its share of idiots to EP. I'm starting to think the EP is a modern form of bannishment.

... so I can read it in a dark theatre.

Any preference between one of the cute vermin or one of the psycho vermin?

Don't know if I can find any actual fics bad enough to send 'em to FicPsych since TS is over. The fandom tends to ignore the background characters in favour of creating Sues which are even more superpowered and interchangeable than the ones in the canon (at least Mr Jacques remembers to specify what species each character is at the beginning of each book *sigh*). But I could probably invent something horrible.

This place actually dot dot dots the F word? Since when?

My scariest with the BNP was I thought we were safe. I thought we'd had a few nutters around who really hadn't put the slightest moment's thought in. And then, a couple of weeks later, when who'd voted for whom was all academic, it turned out my constituency was the only one in Europe who'd voted out some vaguely liberal type and voted in the ...ing BNP.

It seemed scary but in in an academic way.

And then I had more than one conversation with PPCers who'd actually voted for those ...s. I had conversations with people I'd thought were reasonable human beings, but it turned out they'd deliberately voted for that. You have trouble with your family, because they vote like that. I have trouble with this entire damned Board, because before you know it, people you thought were vaguely reasonable, and might have ideas that didn't quite jive with yours but nothing major, suddenly, when it finally counts, they're votting for the ...ing BNP. You expect your family to vote against you. They're still your family.

I thought here we'd maybe have some common ground.

No.

...ing BN ...ing P.

Of the two here I talked to, one was appalled when I pointed out what their policies mean, but it was too late, the vote had been cast. The other, my objections didn't mean shite. That person still thought the best vote was for the ...ing BNP.

Arguments with family over politics would be preferable. My family won't change their views based on what I say, but I know they'll listen. And it's academic anyway; we've all, without ever being coerced to it, ended up voting Lib Dem.

I find it a ...load scarier that here, where we're meant to be a sort of meeting of minds, and we're all meant to have common ground... even here, I find supporters of the ...ing BNP. And not just supporters, but people who'll argue any line, fight any fight, and still vote for the ...ing BNP.

On behalf of Yorkshire, Europe, I'm sorry.
