    as said above, B-rex is awesome. he's all nice and stuff, and basically I dedicate this 168-hour blog to him.
     
    and that being said...
    TANGENT TIME!!!!!
    Naturally, my first topic is very near to us all: pie. Pie is random, but so much so many people think of it as unrandom. So why am I tangenting about it for? Cause it’s pie, duh.
    And because it’s pie, I think it deserves it’s own tangent. Spitty likes pie. And llamas. You know llamas look like camels? And they spit, like camels. And camels can be found in the Gobi desert, along with the allegorhai horhai, also known as the Mongolian death worm! You know, the Mongols are my second favorite AOE civilization. My favorite being the Byzantines. Who rock. You know they do. Especially cataphracts. Or better yet, elite cataphracts. They own. And in the TC expansion, they have trample damage. TRAMPLE DAMAGE! You know, horses do trample people. Therefore, I feel sorry for the Aztecs, who were left decimated by Cortez’s horses, while they had only llamas. You know, spitty likes llamas. And pie. Now that we’re back to pie, I think we’ve wrapped up.

    welcome again to debate class. today we are going to learn the meaning of the word debate.
    the "man" wants you to think debates are spirited discussions, except that they are turned into contests. They want you to think debators are kind, friendly, and debate only for fun.
    .. none of the following is true.
    the word debate is just a highly romanticized way of saying argument. the debators commonly have venting spleens, and coldly attack their oponents with the hard truth, without ever looking back. it's a high and lonely destiny, but one that ultimately pays off, because people will always think you are right.
     
    well class, there you go. no go off and "debate" with the "man".

    Lost souls still wandering
    Meant to die
    But she's stuck not crossing over
     
    The other side
    Is where he waits
    His spirit reaching out
    Meant to save
    But she's too scared to take his hand
     
    Living in a world without you
    (Drowning in the past)
    Is living in no world at all
    So now I call on you...
     
    Remember me? I gave you life
    You would not take it
    Your suffering was all in vain
    It's almost over now
    Don't turn your back on paradise
     
    Feeling scared, she's prepared
    To give up everything
    She can't stand to feel
    Like half of her is fading
     
    He will choose the only way
    To rid her of her pain
    Take her soul now
    The decision has been made
     
    Living in a world without love
    (A burden to my soul)
    Is living in a worthless world
    So I will call on you...
     
    Remember me? I gave you life
    You would not take it
    Your suffering was all in vain
    It's almost over
     
    Remember me? You were so young
    How could I tell you?
    Remember me? I am the one
    Who saved your life that night
     
    I was the one who would not abandon you
    Even in death I was the one who would not leave you
    I used my freedom to protect you
    And all the while direct you
    Do you remember me this time?
    Even in death I gave you life
    I gave you life!
     
    I wanted to
    Deserve a place
    A place beside you
    This time when I reached out my hand
    It reached all the way to heaven
     
    Remember me? I gave you life
    You would not take it
    Your suffering was all in vain
    It's almost over now
    Goodbye
    It's almost over now
    Goodbye
     
    It's time
    I release you from this life
    Don't turn your back on paradise

    Many people would say that the Bohrok Era was a relatively down time in Bionicle history, what with the advent of direct cloning and all. Really, though, it was an excellent story arc which combined excellent set design with masterful storytelling.
     
    First, let's talk about the set design. Most people would argue that this year should little creativity, what with the blatant cloning in the canister sets. However, I don't think you could say that the Bohrok design was bad. The design was stocky, compact, and with an easily workable gimmick feature. The cloning, personally, was not that much of a problem in this arc. The only time it became a problem was in the next arc, the Kal. Cloning within a generation of sets means that a design is well-built, cloning across generations shows a lack of creativity. Also, we forget the Boxor, the Exo-Toa, and the Bahrag, all of which so great creativity and use of technic beams and smaller pieces.
     
    Now, I'll move on to the best part of the Bohrok Era, the storytelling. And one part of the storytelling in particular: the webisodes.
     
    These were amazing. The way the story unfolded around Jaller, Takua, and co. was so well-written. The creation of the Boxor, the subsequent use of them against bohrok in Le-Koro, so many things were told so well. The Wall-E esque dialogue-less conversations worked very well, and the Bohrok seemed like an impossible threat for the matoran.
