I'm just catching up with Boldly flee since I've been putting it off watching it. That must be one hell of a Chinese Finger trap. I'm looking forward to view more in the series. Why didn't Linkara recognize the mechanical sound of Mecharara's voice?.

So long as the characters act plausibly like themselves it shouldn't matter. To quote a show both Lewis and I like "you should really just relax." To quote someone Lewis and I both hate, for different reasons, "continuity is the hobgoblin of small minds." Granted said person who said the last thing thinks all women above a certain age are whores or else Irish bartenders who beat people up, and there is a game called "Lords of Warcraft," but even he can be right sometimes. I actually like things that contradict themselves (Futurama has done that multiple times with regard to world building) so long as they're remaining true to the characters.Ben Poundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031870163280795417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-2147629381905092832012-08-24T19:29:56.963-05:002012-08-24T19:29:56.963-05:00"So, who was that assistant to Mr. Prick?&quo..."So, who was that assistant to Mr. Prick?"<br /><br />Orlando. He's the guy who played Malachite AND the guardian angel of Nostalgia Critic.<br /><br />It's nice to have him again play a villanous role in an Anniversary Special (although his role here is clearly more comedic than the one in "Suburban Knights").<br /><br />"Not the dreaded Finger Trap!

I find myself wondering what sort of a mess he's going to make of things."<br /><br />Now that he has the Power Glove contaning the Gem of Exxodia, which grants him unlimited power, we are in deep shit.<br /><br />"How many people have pointed out that "The Hole" is the collective plot hole of all the crossing continuities of channel awesome?"<br /><br />So, "The Hole" is a reference to "The Snarl" from "The Order of the Stick"? Wow...I never thought I'd see the day when a That Guy With the Glasses production references "The Order of the Stick".<br /><br />"Anyway, while there is no explanation in the movie, there IS an explanation. You'll recall that the "His Blue Soul" arc featured what Linkara THOUGHT was Mechakara. In the Fantastic Four #1 review, he speculated that Mechakara, using the magic coin, could have somehow survived and regenerated his form after the battle. That's what I'm going with as how he came back, though it took time for him to fully regenerate, and in that time he acquired Malachite's Hand (as seen as the stinger on the Suburban Knights DVD).<br />"<br /><br />I'm going with "The Executor and/or one his agents (maybe Terl, maybe Zod) rebuilt Mechakara." It's a much simpler explanation and makes a lot more sense.<br /><br />"I'm honestly glad that we get most of the cast members in the first episode."<br /><br />It's refreshing to see this sentiment echoed by most here (including me) after reading all the comments made by the whiny crybabies at Brad's site. They are all like "WAAAA, WHY ARE ALL THESE DIFFERENT REVIEWERS HERE? I DON'T WANNA OTHER REVIEWERS, I WANT BRAD!". It's annoying as fuck.<br /><br />"but Lindsay doesnt have a character (but in this universe she is stalking Todd so i guess is not really on reality) but the talk with LAG (who is not a character) who points lot of questions, and a lot stuff more."<br /><br />The lines between "character" and "real self" are often blurred in this site, to the point that you really can't tell sometimes. People keep claiming that the Nostalgia Critic is just a character, but he acts the exact same way in his v-logs and uses the show to voice his honest opinion. Linkara is likewise honest in his reviews and doesn't "act" in them, yet he keeps referring to himself as "Linkara the character". And don't get me started on people like Marzgurl or Distressed Watcher, which gimmicks revolve around the fact that they DON'T have "characters". It's really a matter of personal perception vs what the actual reviewers tell us.The Exiled Onenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-53058703115226145352012-08-24T19:19:19.868-05:002012-08-24T19:19:19.868-05:00After seeing all the continuity questions I figure...After seeing all the continuity questions I figure I might as well ask this even though I thought it better not doing so earlier.<br /><br />In this movie will you at least do something to show how you might be turning evil?
