Well Elena's going to have to worry about saving more than Elijah. Mommy original said she wanted to "UNDO HER SIN AGAINST NATURE" and I don't think she meant just killing her vampire progeny. I think she meant undoing the creation of vampires. I'll just let that soak in a bit. :)
Even though it's from the same producers! I appreciate they aren't exactly mimicking their other show, yet it's terribly boring and emo. I'd rather have the show be about the adults or something. Instead they took a show about magical teenagers and then promptly limited their magical powers and made it about romance and angst and a really glacial backstory.
You only need to make it to about episode 4 to see the show go "ok the execs aren't looking, shedding shallow Twilight veneer ... now!" By a few more you will either be hooked or you can quit watching. I will say that the first 10 or 11 is the initial arc and they have a pretty tight story they deal with. (I remember back when it first aired some entertainment reporter interviewing one of the producers said, paraphrasing, "So ______ is the story this season?" and they replied "Hah, oh no, we'll deal with that midseason break!" and the reporter boggled and said "and then what will you do?" "Something even better!")
You're correct. It's _not_ the Skyrim theme, Dragonborn, it's the folk song various bards perform acapella in-game, 'The Dragonborn Comes.' Someone figured out an arrangement and performed it on youtube and racked up a bazillion hits. The song then went on to be mashed up in many ways, for instance her audio track was layed over top of the live action commercial. It's really good, obviously the audio in this clip is a 3rd generation re-record; you should listen to the original which is linked above.
OH, this is the guy who wrote the spirals story, about the town cursed where people mutate into snails and spacetime itself melts in a spiral pattern? (Not to be confused with the sequel to Ringu.)
Steven Spielberg's name is not a plus for me anymore, it's a minus on tv and kind of a null for movies. Sorry Mr. Spielberg, too many lame projects have diluted your brand.
I knew some people who arranged a ceremony in a location not on the official list. Hall of Gods iirc? Someplace you go through on the way to Tu'Lia? I was like, level 40 at the time and we weren't teleported there or anything so I just had to blow it off. They paid money out the wazzoo for that too.
Anyone else have GOTHOS back in the day? It was a point and click vamPYRE! adventure, apparently (hopefully) starring a Canadian LARP troupe and filmed on the streets of Toronto. It was a really poor game, but you could kill and feed on a mime, and that counts for a lot. (If you're interested in more info about this, enjoy this detailed review: [tap-repeatedly.com]
They're typically flash-enhanced choose your own adventure type visual novels that walk you through a couple days. For instance, you might play as a high school student. First, you'll pick somewhere, say the school library, and then pick one guy of the ones hanging out in there to talk to. As you go through various dialog choices his face and posture will animate slightly. Then you'll go on to a 2nd class, and maybe there will be a date that night. It could be friendly or very romantic depending on who you talked to and where it went. And, since many Japanese ladies like their boy on boy action, you might be playing as a guy anyway.
The with hair option is probably for the gay guys. Even so, I've seen samples of erotic art aimed at the gays that come in with hair and without hair versions. Once I saw 3 options: none, light dusting, fuzzy.
There are a couple pretty noticeable differences if you zoom in. The Gucci actually has TWO slits in front. It appears to be constructed of a vertical strip of fabric and two side pieces that criss-cross over the boobs. The Valli dress seems to just be made of two pieces that criss-cross, leaving only 1 slit. The Gucci has a rope waistband, the Valli has a flat waistband about 2.5" which forcibly narrows the waist visibly and creates a bell effect. The Gucci front fabric meets much lower, connecting to a "Hellraiser" esque neck yoke, wheras the Valli goes up to the neck and then a big frufru ribbon obscures it all anyway. There's also 2 dangly bits in front of the Gucci that remind me of Kimono ties, the Valli dispenses with them. Overall I'd say the similarity is a snap judgment. Inspired by, sure; but totally reworked.
Noooo actually. In that episode it's revealed Dawn is not a _potential_ slayer. Under the logic of this supposed draft, she was already a slayer but was oblivious to it. And as for the "powers" of a slayer well she did actually fight along with Buffy in that finale episode but for the most part was _kept out of combat_. Willow's spell is basically a hand wave, as Craig below points out, Buffy already came back from the dead once.
