    Wow, that ROBOTECH mash up brings back memories. I think I was in graduate school (hint: that was a long long time ago) and Mrs. Overclock and I weren't even married yet (ditto) when that series played on one of our local stations.

    Oddly enough, not even 3 days ago I found my 15 year old melodrama paper, a class heavily steeped in soap operas as its inspiration, where I used Robotech/Macross and its many twisty relationships as my focus.

    I thought it actually made sense that Dean Venture turned out to be the legitimate Sovereign...after all it was revealed that Rusty's grandfather was actually one of the Guild's founding members. Why isn't Babylon 5 on this list? I love that show but it had more than it's fair share of soap opera moments.

    No Spiderman? I know X-Men is far worse, but with the clones, faked deaths, pacts with proxie devils, and chameleon 'rape' accusations, seems like the Web Head has more than his fair share of drama.

    @Ed Grabianowski: Eh, the worst part about it is that it starts out pretty great before rapidly devolving into pretty much what the post says. I just remember that by the end of it, I had no idea what was happening.* Still, anytime someone gets killed for bad manners, I'm for it. Oh and also: hot man-on-man action!

    *Basically the case with The Number of the Beast, too.

    @Moff: I was so annoyed by The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. It's like one moment I'm reading a decent book with bearable, if slightly prevy characters. I was even able to handle the supposed-to-be witty banter and the fact that yet again in a Heinlein novel the young attractive girls are falling over themselves to get at the curmudgeon old man. I was interested in the plot! Next thing I know friggin' Lazarus Long is swooping into my book, along with his creepy sister-girlfriends and the rest of his over-sexed, pretenious hoard. It was such a disappointment, I felt like the whole build up of novel had been for nothing.

    I just read it this fall; I'm still a little bitter.

    No Dr Girlfriend love and her connections to various folks within the Venture universe?

    I prefer not to think about the Rick/Minmei/Lisa triangle especially Minmei who was just too damned annoying (the less heard about her songs the better.)

    Charlie, as an experiment to your own sanity, can you try and write a detailed article on the X-men relationship/continuity? Just to see if its actually possible.

    Oh, and for the picture that headed this article:

    That pretty much sums up most of it, I'm sure that it may be missing some of the more recent developments.

    Alessandra (whose name is strangely absent from the rest of this page) made me weep when she had blood all over her in the Caprica pilot, that was beautiful acting.

    They gotta do a musical episode because she can dance! Maybe with Cylons getting their groove on. #caprica

    no thanks.

    battlestar galactica without the battlestar or vipers or raptors. just the crying and religious undertones and vaguely scifi settings = no fucking thank you. #caprica
