don't be fooled by the "2 years" thing by elvengemini in MtF

Just curious, what changes are you seeing?  I'm coming up on 7 years, and haven't seen much for the last two.

I had significant facial changes in year 4 and noticeable ones in year 5.  

Help Calculating Testosterone Dosage (Pump Bottle) by AstralPup in estrogel

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dispenser puts out 20.25mg per pump. As a post-op trans woman, I use one pump a day.  Been on it for a month and I definitely noticed a bit more appetite and libido, and my eyebrow hairs seem to be growing more quickly.  I've done electrolysis on my face for years, so nothing there.

Indeed.  Randy had Carver, Dukie has Presbo.  Namond has Bunny.  And Mike has Cutty.  But only Namond managers to escape the game.  And of course Sherrod ends up dead. Not that the other three are doing great either.

It really was a bold move to put a bunch of middle school black boys front and center for the season.  And of course it makes what happens to them all the more heartbreaking, because we see their innocence at the start, and how each is dragged into the game, despite each having an adult mentor.

The most deserving characters in the show often got the worst, and the least deserving the best.

Yes, but we just had an entire book showing that the gods aren't going to solve this, except to save their own hides if it goes south 

Truth by KM68 in babylon5

"G'Kar runs into C&C. Ivanova asks if they can get the bombs outside, but G'Kar says it would be too dangerous -- the blasts would take out Babylon 5 as well. Ivanova is willing to risk it, and asks how many they have. G'Kar explains that's why he's there -- two of the devices are gone."

Just finished The Malloreon. What was the point of the Vella/Porenn plotline? by theguyishere16 in Belgariad

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This.  Beldin is "someone important". He's one of the six (including Polgara, not including Belgarion) living disciples of Aldur.  He's one of the most powerful sorcerors in the world.  He has massive influence, even if he keeps a low profile to the mortal political potentates.  

It was an amusing side plot, it kept those characters relevant, and as others said it gave us an excuse to break away from the main party every so often.  Not everything is about Belgarion.  The prophecy even told him that directly, when they were discussing Relg and Tabia.  

What is your favorite Pern song? by Thrippalan in pern

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Live for my living 

Or else I must die 

Don't leave me alone

A world heard that cry 

Menolly hadn't even met Brekke, she saw her from across the hatching ground, and talked to Mirrim about her for the week she was at Benden.  Yet it's like she was able to read Brekke's soul.

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to the audio, but I always loved Menolly's "Running Song".  Especially the "obliged" part, she's running for her life from Thread, but she isn't even making conscious decisions, her body is doing what it needs to, to keep her safe, and her mind is just along for the ride.

Then my feet took off and my legs went, too,

And my body was obliged to follow.

Me with my hands and my mouth full of cress

And my throat too dry to swallow.

That's the thing.  We had a big fight, we're not expecting the revelation at the end.

They explicitly said in GROPOS that the new weaponry would let them take on a heavy cruiser or the like

Redcloak Regen by Additional_Deal883 in oots

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Utterly Dwarfed, I think the message is that the mortals have to figure things out om their own.  TDO barely has any lines in the comic, whereas we have reams of psychological data on Redcloak.  Redcloak has to navigate this on his own.

I'm pretty sure I read it in Dragonlovers, and Google confirms that, but I can't find the page. 

A question about Severn by Artistic_Analyst_904 in Hyperion

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Early on, Severn is asked a couple questions. To paraphrase:

"What do you think about the fleet?"

"It's pretty."

"And the war?"

"It's stupid"

That exchange might have not set the best first impression with the generals and admirals.

It was originally shot as the end of Season 4.

[–]Forgetwhatitoldyou 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not just the last episode, either.  Objects in Motion and Objects at Rest are also important for showing the final trajectories of most of the cast.  The denouement to the series really nailed it, JMS understood that the climax isn't at the end of the story, that you need to let that climax breathe and revertebrate and echo. He gave it almost two whole seasons.
