@ Justice: Hm. Not bad. When that came out my friends told me it was terrible and not to watch it.
Also at the time one of my friends was obsessed with the expanded universe and kept diverting conversations to be about it (and would insult anyone who tried to converse with him about it for their ignorance). It kind of put me off; I don't think I've actually watched or even much talked about anything Star Wars related since.

"Hm. Not bad. When that came out my friends told me it was terrible and not to watch it."
...Where your friends suffering from inoperable brain tumors?
Where they treckies?
Same thing.
Burn!

There are some pretty cool things about the expanded universe, and some not so cool things.
I had a friend that was like this, too. But because there where aspects that I liked and would read for myself, he couldn't diminish my love of the series.

When I was a kid I always wanted a pink lightsaber.

As a kid I always found it odd that the Jedi had lightsabers in a variety of colors (at least blue, green, and purple were shown in the movies) but all the bad guys in the movies had red.
I'm sure the EU has some in-universe explanation for this, even if it's obviously a simple case of color-coding good vs. evil.

^^^^ I know there's a movie where the zombies regain enough intelligence to get somewhat organized and march on a human settlement.
They win, too. But the odd thing was, they where doing it because they seemed to want better living conditions and where sick of humans driving around and shooting them in the head when the humans needed to raid a store...
Not to say the zombies wouldn't have chowed down on some brains if a human just got too close...
"NO I HAVE BEEN NINJA'D HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?"
^^^ I need to read more Discworld. I have several books that I haven't read yet, because uni has been taking up my time. I figure when the course ends I'll read like a ton of them back to back.
^^ Yeah, that struck me as kind of weird.
APPLE.MOV was probably my favourite, though I like MAGIC.MOV for "Crush. Kill. Destroy. Swag."
I was flipping through channels and landed on this Ancient Aliens thingy on H2. They just seriously tried to say that ancient art predicted the coming of the Large Hadron Collider...by superimposing it on the thing the same way Andrew Hussie would do to make a joke. I FIND THIS HUMERUS.
Of course, in that universe, Earth was created by aliens, so...
First important discovery of the morning: Sigmund Freud has even less academic credibility than I realised, why the fuck are they still teaching him in class let alone using him as the basis of an entire school of psychology?
Second important discovery of the morning: Weetabix is now in waxy paper packets instead of plastic ones. I wonder how long this has been the case without my knowledge.
Weetabix may be served with milk (hot or cold) in a bowl, as with any other breakfast cereal, topped with sugar or fruit. They can also be toasted and topped with melted cheese, jam or nut butters. They are very light and absorbent and when soaked in milk can take on the texture of a light porridge, after very briefly retaining their initial crunchiness. Weetabix is made from whole grain wheat and is high in fibre, with 3.8g of fibre in a 37.5g serving (2 biscuits).[5]
Dry Weetabix is so absorbent that it is extremely difficult to eat without liquid. Fund-raisers such as the Boy Scouts hold events based on this, such as returning double the entry fee for those who can eat two dry Weetabix.

You know...maybe we should be thanking History channel.
They're doing a great job of showing how Muldar and Scully of the X-Files would still come off as completely bat-shit insane, even if they had some semi-credible evidence.
And THAT'S why no one every believed them.
"Sigmund Freud has even less academic credibility than I realised, why the fuck are they still teaching him in class let alone using him as the basis of an entire school of psychology?"
He did have SOME good ideas. I think he was basically the first to propose psychological stages of development, even if those stages where all kinds of fucked up.

^ This is probably not the most horrible thing that could possibly happen, but right now I am struggling to think of a worse thing.
