Nice Stargate pic. I guess you'll recognize the candlelight-quote in my sig, then.

Well enough said, ToK - and thanks for the support. And today I noticed with satisfaction that this video has disappeared from a certain video-sharing page. If you open the page now it says that it was removed by request of LEGO due to copyright issues.

Lhilertoro, then you obviously didn't watch close enough. But anyway, I strongly encourage everyone around BZP N-O-T (!!!) to talk about the spoilers or post theories that base on these spoilers (or even taking that spoiler and claiming it is your theory, as some people already have). My bet is that those images will be shown again later this year when the CGI animations are out - since I guess that is where the final parts of the movie come from. Please do everyone that hasn't seen it yet a favor and keep everything for yourselves until TLC and Greg see it as appropriate to let the bomb go off and release those images. NtM

If he is still alive then, probably ^^

Yeah, there are secret agencies and governments all over the world that are spying on the population or doing so-called "preemptive strikes", and I think everyone here knows some examples, not only from history, but also from today. But as you said, this kind of governmental philosophy also has its weak spots, e.g. when trying to "protect" the people turns into paranoia (as you have pointed out, everyone could be an enemy next day - Toa, Turaga, Matoran, Makuta etc.). There are nations that proclaim to protect the rest of the world by attacking "enemy countries" for sometimes suspiciously weak reasons. Sometimes, the interference really is justified, but sometimes it is not, and it is the duty of the citizens to stand up to their government if unjustified acts of war are committed, covered by the slogan "We do that in the interest of our national security." There are countries all over the world that have had such regimes, also including my mother country Germany, but to believe that these kinds of governments are a phenomenon of the past is an attempt to close the eyes when looking in the face of the truth: these ideas live on in many political heads, and are present in every state around the world - the population just has to see it. I know this is political, but these are the thoughts you sparked in me, Greg. NtM

I'm not the one asking more than 10 questions at a time anyway, but still thanks for the info. NtM

Sounds great. Can't wait to see the fruits of your work.
