Good for him, he's a ****ing good actor.

Also I hear he's going to be in the next Star Trek movie.

Who else has read Outbound Flight? I just finished it and I gotta say, Zahn loves Thrawn way too much.

No, Thrawn is pretty awesome.

Just finished watching Battlestar Galactica. Now I feel all empty... 🙁

Very true. Thrawn comes off as omniscient in the book knowing stuff that he should have absolutely no knowledge about.

F*ck yeah he is. Sad fact about Star Wars material is that all the 'normal' people are boring. All the super-smart/powerful/imposing characters that stand out--Thrawn/Palpatine/C'baoth--are the interesting ones.

Hey, Scout (DR) was a pretty cool character, while she lasted.

Up untill Traviss made her a Mandalorian housewife.

Damn you Traviss!

IIRC shes in the book where Jaina gets beaten up by Boba Fett where shes married a Mandalorian and given birth to the first force sensitive Mandalorian, who I'm sure Traviss had plans for before she walked out.

No, she's in Imperial Commando: 501st.

GAH!

That's horrible.

Nah, it was some other chick I was thinking of. Etain Tur-Mukan.

You may find the music from Conan the Barbarian to be inspirational, but that doesn't mean that everyone wants to hear you chanting "Duh-duh-Duh-DUh-Duh-DA-DA! Phwum-phwum-PHWUm-PHWUM-DA-DA-DA-PWHUMMMM. Neuu neeee neeuu neu neu neu Niiiiiiiiiiii, da-da-d-a-d-a-da-da!" while you're doing side leg raises.
The easiest way to deal with a Grunter is to put on headphones and listen to music, perhaps a track of you chanting the theme from Conan the Barbarian.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Great article.

BTW the Conan theme kicks ass.

I have it on my ipod. But I don't hum it in fear of embarrassment.

Thought this was one of the funniest questions on Bill Simmons' Mailbag ever.

After watching the Denver Tebows defeat Pittsburgh, I can only see one realistic ending to the NFL season. Tim Tebow in the Superbowl press conference with the Lombardi trophy on one side, the Superbowl MVP trophy on the other, and a halo suddenly appearing over his head. Merrill Hodge, little Timmy's biggest doubter, will be in the room and ask the first question: "Are you Jesus?" To which Tebow will respond "What do you think?" The halo will glow brighter as he rises up and ascends to the heavens, leaving Merrill and everyone else's jaws hitting the ground. So seeing as how this ending is inevitable and it will be clear that Tim Tebow is in fact Jesus would you like to support my proposal to change the time system of the world to the Tebow Time System? This of course would consist of Before Tebow (B.T.), Tebow Time (T.T.), and After Tebow (A.T.).

I really don't care, old man.
