I love how folks forget there is bisexuality (and other terms like pansexual, omnisexual and the unofficial one - try-sexual). Folks can be funny that way, they assume you're either straight or gay, no in-between, no nothing (asexual, yes that's also a thing) or otherwise.

Apparently, I've opened NL to another level...On Korrasami, I never really saw it in the first 2 seasons, but in the last 2 seasons they grew closer and I started noticing the subtext, by the last scene of the series finale, it moved to main-text. Look at it this way, would anybody have doubted it if that scene played out the exact way with Mako?

boofydon:
it is her initials. Cao means Clara adaeze onazi. That's her name. she is a professional gamer, movie critic and base in england

Still not my name, nor my profession. Where the heck do you get these names from?

Preboy:
that pretty much explains it, anyway what's your thought on the korraasami saga, do you think they are now a couple?

I didn't used to see them as one, but they've been rather close this season & the subtext in the last 2 minutes of the finale was rather intense, I had to stop walking to watch that scene properly, I expect trillions of fanfics to be written based on that scene. My intermission will soon be over, so I will take a while to reply.

Seun nailed it about her not targeting the building immediately. She wasted no time in hitting team avatar and her guy. That scene spurned an instant desire for me to write the perfect villain. Shame, I'm too lazy and tired and I'm still at the cinema (good old Bollywood films and their intermissions.)

Preboy:
train station in 9ja?... "will you marry me" is kinda lame and old fashioned, I'm kinda loving the remake

I still don't think Korra and Asami are lesbians, I mean itz juz a goddamn vacation

Well trains are rampant here in England.

PK

Omo see me watching it in the cold a$$ train station, they thought I was crazy. I continued watching it after I arrived at my stop, see me walking and watching and praying I wouldn't get hit or something. Chei! Butt kicking at its finest, the animators killed it. They might have tidied up the storyline a little too neat, but I hail them.

@Preboy, "do the thing" is now the new "will you marry me".

The ending with Korra & Asami will give the Korrasami shippers new life (they might have died and are currently experiencing rebirth). Yes, it's a thing.

I know what it means, but in this case they're my initials.

I see, it's that time of the year when I regret making my username as cao...

It's a shame you took so long to update. You missed out on a perfect opportunity to talk about it. There's really no point in acting coy for these kinds of things.

Connor's War.
This is what happens when my Wi-Fi finally starts working & my PS3 is being fussy, I turn to Crackle - to watch questionable action films. I love the fact, I'm solely watching this film because it was the film that was playing at my local DSTV centre, when I went to pay the family's bill about 3 years ago.

^^ I'll not reply to this obvious bait of a comment.

chubbypearl:
what is the difference,if i may ask?

One, you've got tears in your eyes & you're holding them back; the other is full out of control bawling with the waterworks on full blast.

sparklebaby:
Must

And there lies an actual reader on NL...

Preboy:
she had all her bad eggs in one basket, including a golden one. Rationally, no one would take that shot. since they've got the president, why not trade him or something else for baatar, and she could always come back and take republic city.
what happened to azula was just sad, that girl could go toe-to-toe with any avatar, her villain skills were truly impeccable, too bad she ended that way.
BTW, what happened to her, she and suki was not accounted for.

I know they were in the comics, haven't read any of those. The president wasn't really a hindrance, more an annoyance. He made noise, but didn't really do anything. He attempted to play the long game with no cards in his deck.

Let's see, bringing back an old thread, funny how most of the films I listed are still in development hell. Still waiting for that God of War film. The Far Cry series would make a good film series. Would also love the Uncharted series brought to life, Nathan Drake needs to be on the big screen. They could make Gears of War the Apocalypse Now of this generation.

Folks really need to learn the difference between the big screen (films) and the small screen (tv series).
Anywho, I'm now watching The Man with the Golden Gun.
I'm not going to lie, some of the Bond films have actually bored me. I zoned out for most of Diamonds are Forever & You Only Live Twice. Ah James Bond, Mr. 50 Nos and a yes is still a yes.

Seun:
How about Eska? I'm sure that Eska will treat him right heh; she did disobey her father's instructions because Bolin said he loved her, afterall:

No! The guy is impressive but Asami is out of his league. Asami needs someone with a great mind, not a fighter who takes orders and beats people for a living. Someone like Varrick, but without his extremely annoying quirks which only Zhu Li could possibly tolerate. Still thinking...

I've just finished watching the first 3 seasons and I just can't understand what made Kuvira and Baatar Jr evil all of a sudden. Bataar Jr was a good boy who followed his father everywhere and Kuvira was a loyal soldier who was happy to take orders. I understand that Kuvira had a disagreement with her mentor but she never showed any evilness or lust for power before that disagreement. None whatsoever. As for Baatar Jr, he seemed quite happy to work with his father when we saw him earlier, and there was no hint of conflict between them. At all. So I find it difficult to understand why, in just 3 years, they became extreme radicals with no love or respect for the people who brought them up. People they had no issues with whatsoever until the little disagreement about how to handle the demise of the earth queen came up. Makes no sense.

It's a classic tale as old as time, the revolutionary becomes the dictator, the liberator becomes the oppressor. We all read Animal Farm, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Preboy:
I actually read all through and did see where you are coming bt the fact still remains that he was her husband to be, no one who wanna kill someone they love that easily because of some ultimate goal.
From a military point of view, you're a gamer so you'd understand how important a someone who watches your six is. Baatar was the ultimate backup, without his engineering expertise she wouldn't have gotten this far. she also knows that if he survives the blast, her entire plans would crumble and the possibility of that avatar survived the blast is quite big so why would she risk that much for so little.
I still think it was just a plot by the writers to turn the tables around

Hence why I see it as a big risk, the opportunity was too great to ignore, when else would she get all her bad eggs in one basket? Although, I do see your point with the writers, they did turn Azula into a raving lunatic, that kid was a proper villain - imagine if she had reached her full potential as an adult, she would have been the gold standard. Unapologetic, cold, calculating, criminal mastermind & a fire bending master. Instead she turned into a lunatic, under the guise of finally losing it all, after she was betrayed by her partners/friends. It seemed odd after she had already accepted, at a very young age, that she would never be truly loved by her mother (and by extrapolation, everyone else).

Africandope, the link you've provided to the gta video is restricted, provide an alternative. BTW, that is obviously not a youtube link.

Preboy:
seriously? she shot a freaking laser gun at her fiancé and it MADE SENSE to you?

SHOCKED

Yes, it made perfect sense, not on a morally or ethical level, but on a military & calculated one. It's just like how bankers try to meet their quota by any means necessary, it's terrible and sometimes morally bankrupt, but they get their numbers at the expense of their customers, who thought they were getting fair and just deals.

As usual, y'all never really read through, you stop at one word then roll with it. I gave my reason, why would she waste an opportunity to wipe out her main sources of wahala, the real hindrance to her goal of becoming the great uniter? Of course, it's a big risk, it hinges on the hope that her lover (and everyone else) dies in the process, she would be able to spin it and make him into a martyr, a symbol of the ultimate sacrifice, that Kuvira risked her heart to achieve their shared goal. The girl is already running with the cult of personality thing...this would fit in nicely.

The latest episode of The Fall.
Recommendation: If you want to watch an intense drama (political spy thriller to be precise), I would recommend The Honourable Woman. Every episode was an intense hour of television. "Who do you trust?" Apparently, no one.

The minute she asked if everyone was there, I knew she would pull that stunt, it made sense - kill all your enemies with one stone & turn your second-in-command/lover into a martyr for the cause.

I've spent too many a time watching QI...I discovered the first three on QI. The rest are from the internet.

I keep forgetting that Nigerians associate OAP with On Air Presenter, while over here it is known as Old Age Pensioner. I've been in England for a very long time...
