You're absolutely correct. The way I stated my first post was ambiguous, inflammatory, and an insult to the general Dark Angel fan community.

What I really meant to say was that Dark Angel fans are cute, cuddly, and not at all filled with bits of string or recycled stryrofoam fast food containers.

My first post was written under the grievous influence of eating way too many turnips. At this point I can only claim the turnip defense, and swear to lay off of that devil root for the rest of my born days.

See, you're so much more fun when you aren't remotely serious.

A new person, there do seem to be a lot of you lately.

Welcome here, we're weird.

If you have not figured this out yet it is time you know: If you want more get more people interested so that they buy the DVDs and spread the word themselves.

Other than that you'll find us a pleaant bunch and fit right in. The fact you feel the way you do about the show, and sought us out as a result makes you family.

Welcome home.

We can't get enough either.

As one of the board's token Dark Angel fans (where is Chrisisall lately?), I'd just like to point out that we're not all evil lecherous humps.

Actually, there are eight. But then I wouldn't expect Mozart to know advanced destabilization/psyche warfare tactics either.

(Anybody else know that little ditty about Beethoven? All he had was eight little notes, just eight little notes like this. . .)

I just got my head bitten off for doing that and I'm not even one of you.

Actually in the western system there are 12
01 A
02 A Sharp/B Flat
03 B
04 C
05 C Sharp/D Flat
06 D
07 D Sharp/E Flat
08 E
09 F
10 F Sharp/G Flat
11 G
12 G Sharp/A Flat

Other systems have quarter and other assorted microtones.

No idea which five Sun Tzu was talking about though. All I know is it was part of the quote.

"Welcome here, we're weird." by another poster.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been repeatedly assured throughout my life that I am indeed weird. I should fit right in.

And believe me, I'm telling all 5 of my friends to get Serenity and Firefly. Just ask them.

And I still intend to purchase more. I just need to do it on the sly so that my husband doesn't start suspecting a renewed need for anti-psychotics. Not that he isn't already award of my tendencies toward the weird side.

It's been fun reading here. Now to figure out how to actually post. ;}

With today's tv shows, movies, and books, you can find parallels everywhere.

Star Wars took a lot of ideas from Jack Kirby's Fourth World. Jedis/Sith = New Gods, the Jedi and Sith get their power from their connection to the Force, the New Gods evovled to perfection because of their close connection to the Source, they also get their power from the Source. Vader/Emperor = Darkseid, evil despot bent on total domination of the universe, Darkseid has his Anti-Life Equation, Vader has the Death Star. Yoda = Highfather, wise old dude who was once a powerful warrior, tired of the ways of war, retired to teach the young. Luke = Orion, raised away from evil father by good people, predestined to defeat father. Force = Source, basically the same thing.

If you look at the new enemy in Stargate, the Ori, you can find a lot of similarities with the Guardians of the Universe which are also from the DC universe. Both the Ori and the Guardians are ancients. The Ori and Ancients split into two races long ago, the Guardians and Controllers split into two races long ago. The Ori feed off of the willpower of their followers, the Central Battery on Oa is powered by the willpower of every individual in the universe. The Priors and Green Lanterns have similar powers. You can also find a lot of similarities between the Ancients in Stargate and the Ancients in the Might and Magic series. The Ancients in Might and Magic series were an advanced civilization that evolved long ago, they seeded the universe, they put "Celestial Gates" on planets all over the universe that can transport people instantaneously between them, there's Ancient technology hidden all over the universe, and they were defeated by a race of devils known as the Kreegans who triumphed through sheer number.

Better a month late than never, right?

The Chinese are very much into the number 5: five primary colors, five cardinal tastes, five directions (the usual, plus center), five elements, and, yes, five musical notes. It's an entirely different scale than what's used in the West.
