    So why did you choose to include the Queen of Hyrule and make Zelda older than Link? Is the queen name's Zelda as well?

    Zelda is older than Link because Zelda is kind of the 'senior partner' in the relationship. And from a kids perspective, the older kid can get away with being "the boss" without being "bossy." Also, I dislike the trend of having groups of children who just happen to be the same age. Also, I'm strongly opposed to the Link + Zelda pairing. So separating them by age is one way to make a romance between them seem less inevitable.

    I decided I wanted Zelda to have a living, active parent, because she's princess Zelda. Why I decided to go with a mother instead of a father is mostly because of my personal style. I like writing women in positions of authority, and using women to fill roles that most people would assume would be filled by a man.

    I like the episode clever, it is probably one of the most 80's sounding kind of witty game-of-words plot.
    I guess between seasons a slight change that sounds progression is good.

    Maybe the seasons should be shorter than 20+ episodes. It might be hard to keep the show fresh between episode 10 and episode 23. Unless you already have some idea on what kind of episodes/lessons you want the characters to go through meanwhile.

    If someone actually wanted to fund this, I'd be down to do a 13-16 episode season. My preference as a viewer is 24 or 26 episodes per season. Particularly in a half-hour show, anything less than that feels rushed to me. You need some mellow episodes between your high points to let things settle into place.

    Of course, never in a berjillion years would I actually get to make this show. But it was fun to write the draft.

    It really does give both characters fair play, with some interesting interplay between them. The dialogue is shit, but that's more than made up for by the love that went into the costumes and performances.

    And Darth Vader getting his helmet half blown off mid-fight is a really cool visual.

    I don't have a smartphone, so a lot of this stuff isn't really aimed at me.

    I've never had a facebook account (though I was actually in college back when you had to have a college email address to get an account.)

    I usually keep AIM running, but nobody really uses that anymore.

    Really, aside from forums, the only social networking I do is through google+, and maybe Steam.

    I brought him to the Riker Avenue dumps. There is a house that stands alone, not far from where I took him. I took the boy there. Stripped him naked and tied his hands and feet and gagged him with a piece of dirty rag I picked out of the dump. Then I burned his clothes. Threw his shoes in the dump. Then I walked back and took the trolley to 59 Street at 2 a.m. and walked from there home. Next day about 2 p.m., I took tools, a good heavy cat-o-nine tails. Home made. Short handle. Cut one of my belts in half, slit these halves in six strips about 8 inches long. I whipped his bare behind till the blood ran from his legs. I cut off his ears, nose, slit his mouth from ear to ear. Gouged out his eyes. He was dead then. I stuck the knife in his belly and held my mouth to his body and drank his blood. I picked up four old potato sacks and gathered a pile of stones. Then I cut him up. I had a grip with me. I put his nose, ears and a few slices of his belly in the grip. Then I cut him through the middle of his body. Just below the belly button. Then through his legs about 2 inches below his behind. I put this in my grip with a lot of paper. I cut off the head, feet, arms, hands and the legs below the knee. This I put in sacks weighed with stones, tied the ends and threw them into the pools of slimy water you will see all along the road going to North Beach. I came home with my meat. I had the front of his body I liked best. His monkey and pee wees and a nice little fat behind to roast in the oven and eat. I made a stew out of his ears, nose, pieces of his face and belly. I put onions, carrots, turnips, celery, salt and pepper. It was good. Then I split the cheeks of his behind open, cut off his monkey and pee wees and washed them first. I put strips of bacon on each cheek of his behind and put them in the oven. Then I picked 4 onions and when the meat had roasted about 1/4 hour, I poured about a pint of water over it for gravy and put in the onions. At frequent intervals I basted his behind with a wooden spoon. So the meat would be nice and juicy. In about 2 hours, it was nice and brown, cooked through. I never ate any roast turkey that tasted half as good as his sweet fat little behind did. I ate every bit of the meat in about four days. His little monkey was a sweet as a nut, but his pee-wees I could not chew. Threw them in the toilet.

    While you are of course entitled to your own opinion (we're not really trying to reach a consensus here I think, just voice opinions), I disagree.

    I assert that there is no intent behind the mechanical act on a species-wide level, which is what we're talking about. Individual choices are irrelevant. If we insist on pursuing a cause, "the biological imperative," or "the force of the evolutionary process" might serve. But there a whole lot less pithy than "because our parents fucked," so I'll stick with that.

    Perhaps a minor difference. But given that your initial post was written with a sort of "I agree, and..." phrasing, I feel compelled to point out that I don't really agree with the "and" part that you posted. =P
