    Eureka 7 had a few really cool ideas, but also a lot of dumb ones.

    Not unhappy to have watched it, but there were definitely a fair number of episodes where I was skipping ahead pretty freely

    by awkward you mean adorable, obviously.

    All the best super powers scenes are always geared around doing something smaller but really nastily clever with their power.

    Magneto stops a bunch of missiles? Yaaaaawn.

    Magneto breaks out of jail with a couple of marbles? Hell yes.

    Which is also why I still love Darker than Black, despite its increasingly crappy plot. All the fights are about doing small tricks really wickedly, rather than flying around cities punching out godzilla.

    it'd be adorable if she assumed an expression of playfulness or good humor

    but the closeup at 3:10-3:13 shows otherwise

    that is the difference between clever writing for super powers and boring writing.

    See also - Science Fiction.

    There's the concept in sci-fi and fantasy writing of "The One Miracle" One little difference between the world in your story and the real world that you subtly manipulate to create a whole range of wonderous things. A great example of it is Ee-zo in Mass Effect. It's an undiscovered element with the ability to add or reduce mass to matter with the application of current. Pretty simple concept, really, but that one little miracle allows all of the amazing fantastical things in the Mass Effect universe to be possible.

    While I have to agree, I would say that it also determines on who's in charge of the special effects and action sequences of the film. I'd say that X2 and X-Men: First Class did a phenomenal job of making the powers seem fantastic and potent in combat.

    For example, Pyro in X2 felt like a real force to be reckoned with in X2, where as X3 he seemed extremely tame. Part of that is just how his fire abilities were represented in X2; his volleys of fire just feel like they have real "weight" and force behind them, and that's something they really dropped the ball on in X3 where it felt like a puny stream of fire.

    So true, so very true! That scene is fantastic. Well, until the part where they have him float out of the jail with the other metal balls whirling around him... looked a touch too silly but I'm willing to forgive it because the rest of the scene is SO GOOD

    There's more Dark Tower?! Seemingly set just before the last three books, just before the series turns to shit? If there's anything he should have written about its how his very first kathet broke up.

    It's set between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla, but that's really just a frame story
    Most of it so far is Roland telling a story about when he was young and he and one of his fellow gunslingers were sent to hunt down a skin-man, which is basically a shapeshifter who's been terrorizing some of the locals

    So far it's pretty neat

    dark tower fans should really be reading the comics

    they've finally gotten to the Dark Tower story proper

    and in this telling, Roland has the horn

    so maybe we'll get the ending we deserve

    I thought the comics were just random adventures of young Roland

    But if this is the go-round where he has the horn, well, damn

    They ARE at first. I know that so far they've gotten up The Little Sisters of Eluria and about half of The Gunslinger, but I had no idea of this plot change.

    NOW
    I'm tempted to read it

    they were doing Young Roland

    they retold the story of him in Hambry (I think that's what it was called? the story he told in Wizard and Glass)

    and then the fall of Gilead

    and then some stuff about Roland between then and when he gets to Tull

    but now they're into Dark Tower proper

    the next arc should wrap up The Gunslinger

    and presumably they're going right on to The Drawing of the Three
