Alone in a Cafe with the Radio Turned On
Dante, I can finally say that I feel you. Once Betrayed Twice Shy Chapter 6 - Dante So I was left alone by my friends at a cafe with the radio turned on and the moment they left, this song had to start playing. Radio 1: Me 0
Hero of Gotham
Source: Gotham Site The last time I saw Ben McKenzie on television, he was a dark and brooding teen in The OC. Since then, he seems to have matured into a dark and brooding man. Thankfully, he seems to be slipping into the role of James Gordon just fine. I would hope that by the end of the series, I would get to see Gordon genuinely smile for once. You gotta give that hero a break, Gotham. I sure wouldn't want to live in that city. Now that the balloon man's gone, who's gonna defend Gotham City? James Gordon (or perhaps Batman, if we're lucky).

Psycho-Pass is a Literary Masterpiece
Kougami Shinya by PhantomSixMan on deviantART Kougami quoting the bible: "Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." - John 12:24 - 25 Loaded with references to a variety of literary works, Psycho-Pass is sure to give your brains a workout. The issues raised in this series include: To what extent should we allow technology to manage our lives? What is morality? How do we decide which moral values are important? What do we consider a perfect government system? What are the flaws in this "utopian" government system? How likely is this scenario to occur in our current generation? How do we decide what is justice? From the author, Urobuchi Gen, comes a masterpiece akin to the ranks of Puella Mag...
FitzSimmons
As much as I love these two brilliant scientists, I can't help but think their characters are clones of characters from other series. No offence to Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge, by the way. Their performances in the series are spectacular. Fandom Examples Parallels Ron & Hermione (Harry Potter) Fitz – awkward sidekick; “What the hell!” Ron – awkward sidekick; “Bloody hell!” Simmons – Know-it-all goody-two-shoes Hermione – Know-it-all goody-two-shoes FitzSimmons argue like an old couple Ron & Hermione argue like an old couple Gem & Gemma (Power Rangers RPM) Inseparable lab partners Inseparable partners that finish each others’ sentences
A historical race of giants?
They are called Nephilim (a humanoid hybrid of fallen angels and humans). Remember Goliath? He's a descendent of this species. They are often described as giants with physical deformities in historical texts. The account of David and Goliath (Jaloot) is given both in the Hebrew Bible and in the Qur'an. Recent archaeological evidence suggests that even if no race of giants actually existed in Gath at that time, a name similar to "Goliath" was indeed used in the area. They are a few accounts of nephilims in the bible, despite them being written by different writers at different times. Genesis 6:4 (NIV) Wickedness in the World 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Old Testament books seldom include a byline. So we look to outside sources to discover authorship. Jewish tradition and other b...
