You're welcome, Dave.

Hi, Sarah!

I'm glad you're back! I had a few box sets of BSG, but I stopped watching a while ago.

Hi, Rita!

Sorry you had internet problems.

Not really, sum1. I just want Peter to be portrayed as he is in the comics, and in the comics, Peter's in his 20s.

That's the Peter that I grew up with when I was reading comics. Remember, I was only 3 years old when Gwen Stacy was killed in 1973, and Peter was already in college then. By the time I started reading comics at age 5, Peter was in his early 20s and a college graduate. Peter's never been in his 30s in the comics.

Tossing BSG off?

That's good, Sarah.

That's what I would do. I used to just watch DVDs a lot before I came on the internet.

You're always reacting against characters being portrayed as older, even when they've been portrayed that way in the comics, like Batman. This has popped up with numerous characters we've discussed. You seem to have a total phobia of characters being portrayed as older and a desperate need for them to be portrayed as kids in their 20s, as if you're trying to recapture your own youth or something.

Screw outdated. Streaming can't adequately replace dvds. Streaming channels don't offer the same range.

I love seeing different versions with different ages of Superheroes... even a kid Iron Man or alternate kid XMen with 8-14 year old kid versions of wolverine, rogue, cyclops, etc.... oh wait, does that exist yet?
