Wow... :eek: Well, you're unfortunately right, Frosty. Sorry. Will do. :o (Besides, Ed's already burned me out on the sidetracked conversation anyway.) Agreed, LOAF. Going to shut my yapper till some other naysayer newbie appears from the great void to oh-so-righteously denounce the evil...

Yeah, truth be told, LeHah lost me on the whole "The Seven Samurais" thing, but being that he was simply using an analogy, I felt it left enough room to interpretation and still conveyed its point even if it lost me a bit on the exact details. :) Like I said - I'm a TV/Internet blockhead, so I...

I was going to go with the History Channel or the Learning Channel or something myself, but yeah - I think you made a good point there, LeHah. There are brilliant and foolish people who read books or watch TV day in and day out. I'm not going to pass judgment on anybody for doing anything...

Actually, in one of Blair's outbursts before the Assembly once he's confronted Tolwyn, he likens Tolwyn's view to the cats, mocking him by saying something to the effect of, "why can't we be more like the Kilrathi?!" So yes, it's safe to say that the violence Tolwyn is prepared to have mankind...

Valid points with potential, Quarto. But then the issue at this point in the story is more about stopping Tolwyn than Black Lance. If Blair had arrived with that evidence, it would've given the Assembly something worth looking at, but Tolwyn could've perhaps just distanced himself from the...

LeHah, a man of few words, but good points. The only real arguments around this that I could come up with are (1) Tolwyn didn't know the extent of Black Lance's Operations and thus not the extent of all their intelligence; and/or (2) they knew the Nephilim threat was out there, but were...

Hi again, Dran. While at first, I was a bit taken back by the comments above to speak in a clear, concise fashion, I can see why they have that as a rule on these boards. In the case of all posters above that were emphasizing the importance of it, all of these fine people spend MUCH more...

Maybe it's just because I'm half-asleep, but Dran's post made plenty of sense to me. *shrugs* Anyway, my thoughts on things: (1) Could Tolwyn have known about the Nephilim back during the WC:IV era? While others here far more wiser about WC than myself would argue differently, part of me...

Some additional, complementary thoughts Some thoughts here in answer to some of the ideas above: The Kilrathi (either for political or religious reasons) aggressively pursue conflicts with other races they come across. This violent expansionism unifies them as a species by giving them a...

Is there evidence anywhere to support this? For whatever reason, I was under the impression that the Kilrathi were at odds with each other in ancient times before the arrival of their Star Gods. From that moment on with the foretold prophecy lingering out there as a threat to their survival...

Good point; did this happen in this case, or did this guy go through the same agent/agency as some of the newer cast? They got the same people to do the other voices for Secret Ops, right? What was so special about this dude that he didn't? Just from the way it was mentioned above, it almost...

Sorry, Dundradal, if that was in regards to my post. Angel, WC3 quote, right? Nice. Oh, to be loved... :rolleyes: Anyway, used this post as a plug for my own project, and that ain't fair, so back to the topic at hand, answered to the best of my abilities: We don't know (POW or KIA)...

Sorry about that, LOAF. I think we all flew off on a tangent like dogs with a bone after you posted that part above, but you're right - doesn't address the initial point - it just turned into a whole side conversation over the idea you posted, and people weighing in on it. Sounds like it...

(Note: I just real quick want to tack on this disclaimer that these are only my opinions, and I realize this.) Fans don't talk about Dallas, I think, mostly because his character wasn't around long enough to really get all emotional about. Fans are a bit more drawn to Blair because he was the...

Piggybacking Iceblade's idea here, I'm inclined to agree (for my own part) that part of the potential problem with Casey's character was that we couldn't choose what he did, so it was less of a choice from a personal standpoint. Beyond that, I just feel that the storyline itself rather than...

It's been awhile since I've played Prophecy, but assuming you're still stuck at the beginning, I'm guessing you're still stuck in that petite Pirahna fighter? I always hated flying that thing, as the main guns were horrible at taking down enemy fighters. There is a Stormfire cannon you can...

I think it was left open at the end, and falls into the realm of "things we don't really know for sure." Though LOAF is still the king when it comes to bringing up the actual quotes and references, I believe the parts about Blair being listed as MIA and a memorial service held in his honor...

Another good conversation... I agree that the primary reason for the inclusion of Blair in Tolwyn's plan was to lend credence to his underlying cause ("underlying" because he's not outspoken in explaining his aim in the beginning; that aim being to ensure mankind's survival through readiness...

Checked out your journal entry, LOAF. It's pretty much a rehashed version of what you posted in this thread or....*compares the dates* vice-versa? At any rate, still a good read, so thanks for sharing. :) I'll try and do my part the next time I see one of those "the Nephilim are the Mantu"...

:o Wowie... *finishes reading through the entire thread, then slowly shakes it off* Anyway, thanks for referencing the article, LOAF. Even as a lesser Wing Commander fan (i.e. one who has profoundly less memorabilia than some), it's always exciting to see positive comments about the...
