I don't know how it happened, but this comic turned into a Raistlin wankfest that humps the altar of The Balance of Good and Evil.
Seriously, I hate that fucker. I hate how he off-screenedly gets vast amounts of power for no reason. I hate how the story discarded his genuinely interesting co-dependency with Caramon to give him more screentime. I hate how the story constantly makes excuses for him. I also hate Dragonlance's screwy theology where it's the humans fault. I liked this story better when it was about heroes running for their lives in a world of broken magic trying to save people than when it was about that guy.
For the love of fuck, Tracy, why?

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
After fifteen years on the air, and several spin-offs, Law and Order now has enough episodes I don't recall all the permutations of all the cases, and can watch older episodes without knowing the ending.
However, that didn't happen to Star Trek TNG... Hmm

That's twenty years to you, missy!
And it was officially canceled by NBC this last May (though Dick Wolf is still trying to keep it alive). But SVU and the new Los Angeles will still air. And Criminal Intent is original on USA.
reading through Top Ten by Allen Moore... some of the graffiti in the Godz bar is hilarious...
Choice examples:
"Oedipus is a Mother Fucker"
"One God, Sun God, Ra Ra Ra"
"Don't Calliope on your shoes"
"Hephaestus is Lame"
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

I remember the episodes I liked - some as far back as Ben Stone's days (first four years). I also remember scenes that had some subconscious impact. But yeah, most of the hella old ones I get to reacquaint myself with. This is good because it means that investing in the DVDs will be worth it - they'll have a high replay value.
Oddly enough, though, if I remember an SVU episode - even vaguely - I'm not likely to rewatch it. As much as I enjoy watching them new, I don't like watching SVU reruns. No idea why.
Buckle up RR, because things get heavy with clockwork efficiency in Fullmetal Alchemist. It hits some pretty gutwrenching lows to sing to dizzying highs.
Also, I just marathoned Aim for the Top! Gunbuster. Now I see myself as a relatively tough guy, rational, in control of his emotions.
The ending made me weep bitch tears of sheer joy.
I choked up on average once an episode.
Buy it, stream it, steal it, I don't care whatever you do just fucking watch it.
EDIT: Also, Diebuster. Nono is so saccharine sweet she will probably give you diabetes. It's also the spiritual daddy to Gurren-Lagann.

Little things sometimes make way too much of an impression.
Like Claudia's Soundwave ringtone on Warehouse 13. While they may be trying to hard to make the mains nerdy, the secondary characters nerd-cred-oozing actually seems to be working.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Thanks to being really XTREME 90s and due to getting dissected by myriad imitators, the original Matrix is really dated.
Inception feels like it will have a more timeless quality to it. Thus, it's better in an aesthetic sense. Also, the main character is played by a real boy.
