Nope. You never even really got his motivations.

That never bothered me, to be honest. Not every villain needs to have his or her backstory told through a lengthy sequence of flashbacks. Slade had a very mysterious air about him, and even when the Titans foiled his plot of the week you always got the impression that it didn't affect his long-term plans much.

I really think they should introduce Slade in the comic book world. He'd make a great arch-nemesis.

I watched a show today where a Rabit tried to prove that another rabits bad luck was just a coincidence and not bad luck.

So she created a test which happened to fail because a cloud spontaneously formed and struck the other rabit with lightning

Then she went "Well now that science doesn't mean anything"

And I couldn't help saying "What? That is nonsense... you PROVEN with science that bad luck exists. Why is it that people forget that science itself is method?"

I haven't seen anything like that myself. However, it doesn't seem like they proved anything in any way. If they repeated the test and various spontaneous misfortunes kept happening, then yes: it could be hypothesized that bad luck exists. If they only performed the test once, however, and that cloud formed out of nowhere, then it is nothing but an anomaly in the data.

Does it disprove science though if they did repeat it 100 times and got the same result of spontanious bad things happening or would it simply mean science proved the existance of bad luck?

If it were the same bad thing happening each time (lighting strike in this case), neither. It would be a strong argument that doing whatever caused the lightning strike made lightning occur.
If it were a different bad thing each time, then I'm not really sure :P

In other (and kinda old) news, I started watching Legend of Korra today. I wasn't sure how well the whole 20s/30s-era vibe would work, but it seems to be holding up pretty well.

Was it just never on TV, or did you not like the look of it, or what?

Honestly? I meant to a while back but never got around to it. Im completely on the fence as far as this goes.
Plus, like you said, I didn't ever see it on TV but that's what shady streaming sites are for, right?
You know what? I'm going to decide whether or not to watch it depending on how many people disown me over it...
This should be fun.

Well in that case, consider yourself disowned :P
Seriously though, it's got actual story progression, good animation and voice-acting, and I could go on but I start to feel like some snooty fan boy.

I can link you to the site I'm watching the sequel series on. It's not to shady.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Where my interest in the new Avatar wanes is mostly in just the overall feel of it. There is something very lifeless about the setting and I have a feeling they were going for exactly that. A sort of industrial blight so to speak. It creates a sort of what I call Disquiet or somberness to the whole affair.

I definately need to watch more, but I am mostly saying that as a possible reason someone might be on the fense. It certainly doesn't feel like the first Avatar (even if Korra seems to be "What if Kitara was the Avatar?" some of the time)

That'd be appreciated, my good sir.
Before I'm excommunicated from the thread, lemme throw another comic recommendation at you folks.
The New-ish Aquaman series... What? Don't give me that look. It's good.
