Heck, the books hardly had any non-Harry POV sections, except for the first chapters in the last few books. None ever really followed the other students around the school. Also, I think that home schooling was mentioned once as an option, since parents took their kids out when "dangerous stuff" happened at the school, only it got made mandatory when Voldy took over.

Also, for Slytherin anyway, I can't help but feel that their beliefs had a major component, or at least heavily influenced their “self-preservation” bits.  They were all about being pure blood and hating on those who weren’t... and not to mention any Death Eaters were probably also about self-preservation because they figured, who not join the winning side?

It would’ve been nice to see more characterization on the Slytherin students in the books outside of Malfoy, because it seems a majority of the characters were Griyffindor.  And I’m sure there were some who were not pure evil, but they didn’t out themselves and go against the social norm.  Partially because they’re kids, and partially because the entire wizarding world (in Britain, at least) seemed to be stuck in a status quo with few being unwilling to stick their necks out to change things or help. (See, entire fifth book.)

Anyway, um, my point is, maybe they got the house thing together later on, but it was just really cut and dry, especially for Slytherin, in Harry’s years?  (Wow I wrote too much about this didn’t I?)

IMO the Tahu animation seems a little tacky when it repeats every time you go to a new page.  Still is neat tho, and the links to the tools and mask and such are nice.  (Although when I click on the enlarged tool, ext, image, it just repeats the fly-in-from-below animation, ad when you do it with the center tool it pops up with the mask.  These little things always bug me when I've tried to make animaions, and I'm still stuck in the past with Flash.)  Anyway, nice job!

Thank you for explaining that, and welcome to the Tautology Club. The way to join the Tautology Club is to become a member of the Tautology Club.

I found that for a story to be considered dark, it has to take place at night. Or underground. In a place with a lack of light, thus dark. (And see, when it's dark you don't have to see all the little detail! That works best in movies, to make their effects cheaper. Not so much in stories, where the description is like "well, I could tell you what this is, but its dark so i can't see it, so never mind.")

And I dunno, parts of the original Land Before Time seemed dark. Or maybe the word I'm looking for is "scary."

I've never drank soda / pop / carbonated beverages for that EXACT reason.

Neat! Also invalidating the whole "But we got a thirty minute episode of Bionicle clips, just spread out" argument.

LOSS: Hey, guys, I was just having my spider friends collect the masks so we could get it to the old guy before the zombie Toa got to him. Why do you keep beating on us?

Bionicle Gen 2 Year 1: The big misunderstanding.

1: Blank text

2: Unleash it on the neighbor kids

3: Whoops, Alt+Left

4: Watch shows on my smartphone!

5: Probably unleash an ancient evil, since that's what these expeditions tend to do

6: Eh, nobody was probably listening to me anyway

7: Magic

8: Draw swords

9: Pohatu Rocks, people just need to admit it to themselves.

10: Hewkii?  Onewa was kinda annoying, so we'll skip him.

11: Oh man, the blank text returns!!

12: Dunno what it's called, but it's probably the Mask of Northing.

13: My weapons are blank too.  Man, being a Toa of Blank is totally not worth it.

14: Set WorldCanBeDestroyed = false;

15: Well if it's just a regular telephone then I can't watch shows on it, so let them fight it out.

16: It was?  Blank text then.

I can attest to the fact that he took great delight in dismantling the island of Mata Nui once.

Wait, this isn't about Jurassic Park misconceptualizing what we think dinosaurs look like?

Well, I didn't see that coming.

Can't wait then. I haven't seen the finale of the first season yet, tho, so I don't know how much of a cliffhanger they'll leave us with, but good to know we won't have to wait too long for the next installment.

No, science-for-profit people are evil.  Scientist-for-science are good, but since they don't earn their keep, they're also faceing extinction.

Do it as Biff did in BTTF2- buy a sports almanac before you traval back.

If we're going by movies, Legends of Metru Nui totally beats out Mask of Light, and that's kind of a prequel, right?

Can't really think of any off the top of my head, have to come back later...

For this to apply to me, I'd need people to comment on my videos...

I've been impressed by some of the fight scenes. Not just the action, but the choreography with the camera. There's a particular one in the second episode that is one continuous shot as the camera slowly moves back and forth to capture the entire sequence; it was very interesting. And while that ones still the best, IMO, they've done some other nice shots too in the later episodes. (I'm only up to 7, not quite binge watching but two a night, will be sad when it's over.)

Oh yeah, also good story and stuff.

YOU ARE LITERALLY A ROOT.  ANY PERCEPTION OTHERWISE IS A HALUCINATION!

I don't get the "time running out of space" thing cause time is kinda infinite and doesn't take up space and won't nessessarily ever stop.  (Unless the roots refer to the lifespan of individuals, which do have an expiration date.)

I'd like to think that you can't destroy past selves, because if the future self is still around, that means it survived the attack, so even if it pulls its past self forward with the intention to destroy it, it probably won't work and the past self will get away.  Destiny is, of course, making the whole thing up as it goes along, so you can't really trust whatever it says.

Yay cardboard swords!

Of the three virtues, Destiny was always the one that bothered me the most. It like, Destiny doesn't know what's gonna happen, but when it does it just brags that it called it correctly but didn't tell anybody. Destiny is smug, and nobody really likes it (but those who it favors pretend to.)

Also isn't the MU like a toxic place to be now? So like some folks could stay there and all as part of their culture, but wouldn't it eventually kill them? (Never mind, in Gen1 of Bionicle they would probably just conveniently mutate and grow resistant to it.)

I'm interested in this. Although I thought the original show started off a little oddly, it did turn out to be one of my favorite anime.

We do know their eyes light up.

Yay, the holiday that my work doesn't have to recognize because it lands on a weekend!!

I liked somebody's explanation that the Gallimimus was actually the meat in the trap... but I guess they went and clearly labled the green lizard as the Gallimimus in the bottom corner so that explanation can't exactly fly...

No, you've got it all wrong, these are genetically modified to look like the publically accepted vision of dinos, not the real things.

Also, earth physics don't apply to the Jurrasic Park universe. And ice sinks.
