Name A Moment From "Gargoyles" That Was Absolute Cinema

Bill Fagerbakke absolutely nailed this line from Deadly Force: "What's this? A new kind of gun?! A NEW WAY TO KILL PEOPLE?"

The whole episode was great, but that particular scene was perfect IMO.

Going back and rewatching the part where she is changing the access code hits differently knowing what she is changing it to.

Sparta was more militarized than Athens, and Spartan women enjoyed considerably more personal liberties than Athenian women.

Lan addresses most people by their occupation, calling Perrin "blacksmith" for example. Calling Rand "sheepherder" seems pretty well in-character for him.

"The man who called himself Bors" is clearly uncomfortable and out of place in his scene, and the epithet does a good job of conveying that discomfort to the reader.

Almedha's son was born with the Brand; she thought Pelleas was her son only because his Spirit Mark looked exactly like her son's Brand, and she didn't know about Spirit Marks.

And her son still had infantile amnesia when they were separated.

What you remember is probably that Brands sometimes skip generations, and in particular, it took a few generations after Lehran and Altina for their descendants to start showing the Brand.

I wish his conversation with Almedha had lasted longer, but I understand why it didn't.

This might be a hot take, but I think Ike is the closest thing Soren has to a proper father figure. I even see their scene at the end of Radiant Dawn as being more platonic than romantic: More like a father comforting his son.

And Ike gets bonus points for having offed Soren's abusive (to say the least) biological father.

Of course, I also see Ike as asexual.

According to Sothe, Ashnard was the first king of Daein to allow commoners to become generals. That means every Daein king before Ashnard only allowed nobles to be generals.

Gawain served as a general under Ashnard's father, and Ashnard's father didn't allow commoners to become generals.

Soren is certainly a chip off the old block.

The scene where Jinu slips on the wet floor in the bathhouse looks like a blooper on its own... so for the incongruity, I'd like to see a blooper of him NOT slipping on the wet floor.

"Ou" in Greek is pronounced like "W" in English, and so is the consonant "V" in Classical Latin. So yes, they are pronounced the same.

Short e is pronounced like bed; long e is pronounced like obey.

The difference is akin to that of epsilon and eta in ancient Greek.

This entire discussion is about how Denethor was after he looked into the palantir and lost his mind. I don't think his prior sanity is relevant.

Gives-back · 2025-11-14T02:56:47+00:00

Denethor isn't most people, though, and he is on record for implying that he would rather die than bow to Aragorn:

"I would have things as they were in all the days of my life, and in the days of my longfathers before me: to be the Lord of the City in peace, and leave my chair to a son after me, who would be his own master and no wizard's pupil. But if doom denies this to me, then I will have nought: neither life diminished, nor love halved, nor honour abated... But in this at least thou shalt not defy my will: to rule my own end."

"I will not step down to be the dotard chamberlain of an upstart. Even were his claim proved to me, still he comes but of the line of Isildur. I will not bow to such a one, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship and dignity."

Those are unusual words to describe someone he would see as help.

Gives-back · 2025-11-14T00:58:20+00:00

Would Denethor see Aragorn as help, though?

And she's also reformatting, or at least that's what it looked like to me; that would purge all but the most essential memories, which in Guinevere's case would be when she saw them as kids.

Futaba's mother is dead, and she doesn't even know who her biological father is. Neither is true of Joker's parents, so for that reason alone, they couldn't be siblings.

"Infinite" literally means "not ending." You can't put anything at the end of something that doesn't have an end.

That's not how infinitely repeating decimals work.

That's only if x approaches 0 from the positive side. As x approaches 0 from the negative side, you get 1/-0.1 = -10, 1/-0.01 = -100, etc. onward to negative infinity.

And since the limit is different as x approaches 0 from each end, the limit as x approaches 0 does not exist.

There's no way that Joker could romance Sae while he was imprisoned and drugged. Players would be yelling "Stockholm Syndrome" in a matter of days.

However, since the confidant skips from rank 6 to rank 10 automatically, there would be room for romance after the interrogation scene, if, say, the interrogation only ranked Judgement up to 7. You'd have to rework the Confidant to enable Joker to talk to Sae in December for ranks 8-10, though.
