Words I never thought I'd hear: Joe Paterno fired (UPDATE JOE PATERNO IS DEAD)
Time

I'd never heard of this guy before today, but RIOTS in the streets around his house because an 84-year old man was removed from his post a couple months before he planned to leave anyway is really dumb, even forgetting the fact that he knew about children being raped by one of his employees and did the bare minimum to do anything about it.

Good things come to those who wait ;) I do see your point, it was more a scratch build allows you to do exactly what you want to do with it... If you follow, may not allow you to do those things.
As you can see from the photos, Adywan is basically sanding these things down to the frames and making them better detailed. I think having the base is worth buying the kits.

Great work so far Ady, really looking forward to see what you do with them! Out of interest what was the reasoning behind going with a kit vs. a scratch build. (I only ask as I've recently been mulling over doing a scratch build of a Star Destroyer).
Saves time to modify existing kits than to start from scratch. You do want to see ESBR this decade, right?

What do you LIKE about the EU?

IIRC correctly there was to be a novel (fortunately canceled) that explained how humans got to the Star Wars galaxy. They would have portrayed humans fleeing from Earth (!) from sentient machines in the 22nd century. They get sent backwards in time and simultaneously flung across the universe to another galaxy - the Star Wars Galaxy.

IIRC correctly it also would have tied in THX 1138 with the Star Wars universe!
That's terrible. And a rip-off of Battlestar Galatica.

Don't miss "Blink" - best Who episode post-Tom.


Definitely catch this if you haven't already. It's utterly fantastic and very original...
I'm getting close. Going to make my wife sit down and watch it with me. I've been hearing its a must-see for a long time now.

Poor you Daleks In Manhattan and Evolution Of The Daleks are pretty awful.

The only bit I really liked was the gossiping Daleks scene, which was hilarious.
Watched Evolution early this morning. I liked them both. I don't think I've seen an episode I haven't liked yet.

It's a childish pronunciation of "Adrian", but I was the same what Kurgan was until I listened to the old interview I just posted to Google+. Since he didn't correct the podcasters, I'm thinking "eighty-one" is closer to the actual pronunciation. Believe it or not, I've not actually talked to the man yet.

I'm just curious why you have to make an entire full-scale carbonite prop to fix Han's shirt.

the full scale Han Solo in carbonite front section that will have the correct shirt
He's just making the shirt and face part of it. He has to make it full-scale as the face mold he has is full-scale. This is one of the things I'm most interested in myself.

Doctor Who

Netflix changed their Doctor Who logo to a much cooler picture of the TARDIS, but I also noticed that now my Xbox tells me "Available until December 1, 2011". The website says no such thing, but I'm still freaking out.

I'm squeezing in as much as I can when I can. Unfortunately, Mrs O'Five isn't giving the show a chance (she only hears people screaming when she's not watching, and every time she comes in someone is giving a speech or some terrible CGI effect is on screen), so I have to watch when I can. Thanks to Daylight Savings Time, I was up early so I finished "Gridlock" and started "Daleks in Manhattan". I did not expect Panaka to greet me in Hoovertown. I hope this episode will have him saying that the Daleks are gangsters, Doctor and Martha are sitting ducks, and that the weather looks pretty bad.
