Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth are not seperate gods, but both aspects of Yaldabaoth - the Demiurge - the pantheistic god who is omniscient and omnipotent within the confines of the omniverse, but is powerless and ignorant of everything which exists beyond; this ignorance extends to Its parents, the benevolent God Ahura Mazda and the malevolent God Angra Mainyu.

So, you see, Lovecraft had no more insight into the natural order of the universe than any other prophet or religious leader - he saw through a glass darkly, like all his predecessors and successors.

Stargate (1994)

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was quite a lot of fun actually. I did kinda cringe at the whole ancient aliens thing but overall it was pretty good.

I liked David Arnold's score for it too, and I loved that the version of it I saw wasn't DNR'd or imperfections eliminated in any way.

3 balls out of 5.


Theatrical version or director's cut?

Stargate?


Yes. Specifically, the season 8 finale of Stargate SG-1, a two-part episode entitled "Moebius."


Bah! That's not true Stargate! That a piss-poor piece of afterbirth spawned from the belly of a parody series that turned to shit after its fifth season!

What would Darth Vader have been like as a ruler, if he had overthrown emperor palpatine and became the emperor/ruler of the galaxy himself??

Personally, I think Vader would have been a far better ruler than Palpatine. He probably would have abolished Palpatine's xenophobic decrees and allowed non-humans equal rights within the Empire, wouldn't have committed or sanctioned any genocidal crusades, and probably wouldn't have had planet killing super weapons like the Death Stars built. He wouldn't be entirely benevolent, but he wouldn't be the Space Hitler his master was.


I'm curious what about this friend-betraying, child-slaughtering, father raping, daughter-torturing, Force-choking, sand-hating beast gives you the impression he'd be in any way benevolent.

 

Unless that post was your human sarcasm. I always have trouble with that.


I almost always operate from a PT-blind perspective, if that helps any.

When/Why did you become an OT purist?
Time

The first stirrings of rebellion - so to speak - happened for me as far back as 2003, when I saw AOTC for the first time, and then later in 2005/06, when I became disillusioned with the state the post-AOTC EU was in and finally witnessed the overhyped underwhelming disappointment that was ROTS; I was still more-or-less a Lucasfilm Kool-Aid drinker at the time, though, and only became a purist in 2008, when I got my first home computer with Internet access and became exposed to the viewpoints of fans who were irate with the PT & SEs.
