Actually, all the old sci-fi based much of their tech stuff off of todays science. Just don't ask how or we have to kill you.... OT: It's called a jet-intector, was patented in 1960. This isn't that new in concept, next please. Ok, the addition of lasers is neat, until the melanoma cases...

Where was the option for this in the poll?

Tantric, covenant relationships, sex magic, porn to high art ... ok, so most porn falls into instinct anyway but still there's some works of wonder out there ... and a host of other things I'd rather not list at this time all go away or become arguments for 'it's all porn really'? That would be...

Zombies have existed, and still do. One example, while a much lesser variety than the flesh eaters, are the mindless brain dead mobs of consumerism at the malls of the world everyday. Also, I have a working recipe for zombie poison. If anyone wants to experience death, resurrection, and...

Too bad for you. I can prove by your standards why Menace isn't a prequel, but more importantly you missed an edit that you might have liked. Your loss. Call it a stalemate if you want, but this was never about convincing one another. I knew what I was after from the moment I started.

We pretty much have to throw the part about 'completed' out, because far too many works are potentially or actually ongoing. Rather than discuss the definition of complete, we will have to use a better term, established, making the line ...supplements a previously established one... So...

As I said above, I don't care if you don't buy that I did the math. Too many years of watching the industry itself do the same thing, too many days studying aesthetics, and too many conversations with those who have studied the industry first hand whether for work or personal reasons, I'm...

QFT! No, seriously, I needed this a few pages back. "Why yes, that is a prequel. We figured it out from the post-mortem."

In then end with this discussion, the way I see it, neither of us are wrong. This isn't a 'gut feeling'. It's called doing the math. If enough similarities exist between two pieces of art then they either one of them has influenced the other, they both have influenced each other, or they have...

I'm stating that we aren't dealing with 2 relevant timelines, we're dealing with multiple timelines, some of them 'fractal'. In such a case, the defenition of prequel may depend on whose story you're telling. The story of John Conner isn't so much a prequel, and yet it shows so much about that...

MULTIPLAYER FTW!!!!!!! The first one was Bushido Blade with guns at high noon. It's Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone for gamers. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE!?! Oh dear, I'm dripping again. I'll be back after I change my shorts...

"Batman Begins" is the movie rendition of a graphic novel that is a prequel. This has nothing to do with Burton's work. Go back and re-read everything I posted Yes, that's why the line about Fry was a complete out of left field, meant in humor. While T4 was thoroughly intended by the...

Ok, you're right, they did let the story get away from them. Except it happened back in #2. However, consider you have both the humans and the machines time travelling, there's no telling how many aborted missions/timelines there could have been, and paradox is the least of your issues...

Except it is a prequel in as far as Kyle Reese is concerned. Just because it isn't the future his mother described doesn't make it no longer the prior history of those characters. The basic assumption is that because there are changes to one's past, it's no longer the proper past. Once you...

Now it's funny.
