    Nothing after 2001 is obscure or old school as far as Lit goes :p

    The putative old-school reference would've been to trip's former identity as 000 :p

    Pretty sure they're talking about the Karen Traviss book. Yup. Most likely. [face_mischief]

    Yeah. Definitely a joke from before I started posting here.

    I get it now though.

    Somehow I have clearer memories of Gladiuus than I do of 000.

    steve and bucky were inseparable childhood friends until one day bucky fell off a train and died, however years later he was reborn as a longhaired amnesiac dumpster prince with a metal arm and he forgot who he was so when fate brought them face to face once again and steve called him bucky his response was the confusion you see so hauntingly depicted in the gifs above

    I still wonder why they would give all that fancy stuff into one of their enemies rather someone who genuinely loyal to their cause.

    In Arkham Knight one of the random criminal NPCs mentions his lawyer husband to another when they talk about where their partners think they are.

    So apparently Dave Filoni has been openly campaigning for Sabine to be the winner of the poll (not surprising, as she's one of his creations, plus she's pretty awesome, so I'm good with that). Revan is still in the lead with 40%, however.

    Some conspiracy theorists on other websites have said that they think that even if Revan wins the poll, Sabine will be announced as the winner no matter what because of Filoni's campaign and the fact that she's a female character. While I obviously believe this is not going to happen, I wonder what others' thoughts on this idea are. Two other female characters have already been booted from the poll, apparently (was it Mara and one other?), so do we think they did this simply because they have been planning on Sabine winning all along? Doubtful. But, thoughts?

    I like Sabine, but why not Hera?

    And I don't want a fixed poll so that a woman character can win. That implies that women characters are incapable of winning on their own, which is pretty insulting.
