Hi! Umm well i made this topic because i'm new and i have a lot of question and yeah so who ever is new here then just post if u have any question's then maybe i can answer your question's or someone else can just PM me if you really want to talk.....i don't know why i said that but yeah cause i want ppl talking to me..
Well, you might want to specify what kind of questions. If it's questions about the episodes, then that's fine. I'm only asking because if it's not questions about the episodes, then it should be moved to the 'Randomness' section.
I always thought that Ace/Lexi would be easier to write. Duck and Lexi are contrasting characters and it isn't easy to make them click together.... at least that's how it was for me.

Not for me! When I write AcexLexi, it's fluff, fluff, and more fluff! For Duxi, I dunno, maybe because they're so contrasting, it makes it easier for me to write!
Well, the contrasting characters is more challenging for me. Ace and Lexi are more lukewarm towards each other while Duck and Lexi have their tensions.

I got to agree with you about that.
I feel that Ace and Lexi might have seemed closer in the first season but they seemly have cooled somewhat in the second season. It makes me wonder if TPTB might have decided against an Ace/Lexi romance; that is to say if they were even considering a romance.
IMHO, on the surface Duck and Lexi seem contrasting, but if one analyzes their personalities they surprisingly have a lot in common. Personally, I find Duck and Lexi to have a dynamic relationship that makes for entertaining TV. Right now, with Ace/Lexi there doesn't seem to be anything interesting going on. Even though a romance can most likely happen with Ace/Lexi, as of now, I would view it as something rather banal. I could live with an Ace/Lexi romance, but I wouldn't really care about it.

I haven't had any premonitions concerning LU ... Sorry. There are my tarot cards but ... I don't know ... the readings have been weird ... I'm not an expert so I'll keep it under my hat. *sigh*
cause i've had dreams of episodes of Loonatics Unleashed and then the episode I dreamed about would be on the next day! (and may i add that i had no clue which episode was when, I had just started watching the show!) That has happened to me 3 times now! Funny thing is that i dreamed them in my sleep, not in the daytime.
So maybe that means my fanfic 'Gone' could be an episode! Because that is the only fanfic out of the eight i have that i actually created in my dreams. And it took place after the S2 finale! Maybe something in 'Gone' will happen in the last episode! Oh Gawd I really hope it isnt true!
(sorry its just that this has been bugging me for awhile now and i needed to get it off my chest!)
I know im probably over reacting but it might be pausable!
Actually its here in the Fan Fic section under the title 'Gone' (of course!). It actually has three parts to it but i've only posted the first part so far. Your welcome to read it if you want!
and to tell you the truth, I have no idea what tarot reading is. Is it where you use a deck of cards to try and figure out the future?

I'm going to check your fanfic out.
Yup, you're right about tarot cards. I have little confidence about my tarot reading abilities though. I have a hard time telling if I'm influencing the deck or getting an accurate reading.
doggirl2772 wrote: I think my mom has some tarot cards! i've never used them before though. then again i dont think she has ever used them either!
That's funny. Nobody in my family even knows I have a tarot decks. If they knew, they'd be bothering me all the time about %$#@ Lotto numbers.
I just read "Gone", doggirl2772. The first chapter is very good and quite touching.
Thankfully, my tarot reading isn't about that. I don't believe there will be a death but so far there might be a shake-up of some sorts. The Tower seems to be a constant in the readings.
Ah well, I only do tarots for fun ... nothing serious.
Well thanx Super Freak! Im glad people like it thus far!
I am constantly hopeing that there wont be a death but, -sigh- I guess thats all we can do for now. Hope.
Hmmm... a shake up concerning the tower?! now you got me thinking about what this might be!
hehe.... Lotto #s! Ya I guess most people would ask about that!
Well now im a bit worried. yes im curious to find out whats gunna happen like everyone else here, (its driving me nuts which drives my family nuts cause all I'll do is talk about LU! hey that rhymes!) but i also wanna know if my dream will be true about this like it was with the 'Sypher', 'Time After Time' and 'Acmeggedon Part 2' episodes. So its making me not want to see the last episodes in fear that it will turn out the way i dreamed. And those 2 episodes will either determine wether or not, a life will be lost or spared. These last 2 will also be either the last of the Loonatics Unleashed series or maybe, just the beginning. Its so confuzing! I guess I'll have to tough it out though.
I agree that the best we can do is 'wait and see' what will happen.
The one thing that really bugs me about tarot reading is that the cards can only allude to the question being asked. So a lot seems to depend on the types of questions posed. Like if a question is too general or too specific. It's difficult to strike a good balance in the type of inquiry.
As for The Tower, I didn't think of it as being a literal meaning of the Loonatics Tower being destroyed. But then again, who knows (well, except for TPTB ).
My mom has some tarot cards too. But she won't let me use them.
Twilightgirl's got some tarot cards from a book. Only it's only basic and it has the following on the cards:
Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Wet
Dry
Hot
Cold
When she used those cards, those cards were bloody accurate! My question was based on the results of the cards and no word of a lie, they were so accurate!

So true. It's amazing how many people are into tarots.
the_oddity wrote: I don't have tarot cards, I use my Neopets cards to play with instead. XD
Even though, The Tower has been a constant, I'm not worried about the conclusion since the 6 of Wands has been a constant for the final results. So far, Death hasn't shown up in any of the readings, so that's a good sign.
For the Major Arcana the cards that have appeared the most are: The Tower (almost a constant in the 6th position--future influence) The Hanged Man; Judgment (mostly in the 3rd position--Goal; Destiny) The Fool (mostly in the 4th position--distant past foundation; sometimes in the 9th position--inner emotions) 5 of Pentacles (mostly in the 5th position--recent past events)
For the Minor Arcana the cards that have appeared the most are: Knight of Swords (almost a constant in the 8th position--environmental factors) 6 of Wands (almost a constant in the 10th position--final results) Ace of Swords; 2 of Wands (sometimes in the 10th position--final results) 2 of Pentacles; 2 of Swords (mostly in the 9th position--inner emotions)
For me, I usually don't pay so much attention to position with the Celtic Spread as oppose to looking for an overall pattern with the cards. I'm simply looking for a general answer. I tend to be more attentive to positioning with advanced esoteric spreads and decks. *shrug*
My mom reads tarot too (she has three packs, in fact). I myself am not into the magical practices much, obviously meaning I don`t read tarot. I just don`t feel the magic gift.
I don't think the Tarot is evil, it's just a divinatory tool. They say the ouija board can be evil though, and i've participated in one before, though nothing terrible happened afterward.
Hmm, after reading your post super freak, i feel like bringing out my tarot deck again as well now.
hmmm.... i just think it would be interesting to know how to use tarots but -sigh- with all this bustle about 'final exams' coming up, I doubt I'd have the spare time for it. Oh well, it still sounds interesting.
Black Oracle is right: About the tarot not being evil, it just a divinatory tool. And about needing a good tarot explanatory book in order to understand the use of tarots.
While certain specialty decks can cost a lot, typical decks such as the Rider-Waite and Universal Waite aren't pricey. Most tarot decks can be brought at bookstores such as Borders; Waldenbooks; Barnes & Noble; etc. If you buy a new deck, it should come with an explanatory book. In addition, most public libraries should have a section on the occult, so there should be some books about tarot divination.
I almost forgot to ask....
Are there any official model sheets available for the characters? Are there any official schematics of the Loonatics' headquarters (tower and/or underwater) or of their equipment? Is Duck shorter in the second season than in the first? What are the official heights of the various characters (especially the Loonatics)?
Hmm, if you look on Wikipedia i think there are little descriptions of all Tech's inventions. But i don't recall seeing any exact info on the Loonatics' heights and their HQs or any model sheets. Though i'm pretty sure all the Loonatics are quite short in comparison to most humans. Probably 3ft or 4ft something for most of them. Ace, Lexi and Tech could be taller with their long ears, and Slam's probably the largest of the group.
And you're a redhead? I never thought of redheads as inherently evil, but i do think they can be more fiery-tempered, what with 'fire' coloured hair and all! He! He!
Thanks for the information, Black Oracle! I was hoping that the creative team had placed some official information about the series on line. *sigh* Oh, well.
For modern times: I've heard about the fiery temper but (for the US) I've also heard about redheads having a tendency to be wacky. While somewhat passionate, I'm more of the wacky variety.
B_O: Unfortunately, the LU Wikipedia article isn't completely up-to-date, and has no images. WB still needs to throw us a bone in that regard.
Regarding heights - I don't think they're quite that short. I think "The Music Villain" is about the best we have to go on, so that's what I'll use. Since we usually don't see the 'tics around humans, I'm gonna use Zadavia as a yard stick. She appears to be quite tall - at the concert she is clearly as tall or taller than most of the people in view. I'd peg her as being about 6' or a smidge more. The top of Tech's head looks to be roughly at her shoulder in several shots (sometimes adjusting for perspective), which would make him nearly 5'. That would mean Rev is about the same, Lexi a bit less, and Ace a bit more. Duck was closer to her waist and is about at Tech's shoulder, so he's the closest to the 4' mark. Slam I don't think is any taller than the others (besides Duck), just three times broader. Looking at something more general, when the 'tics go through people-sized doors, Ace and Tech's ears come to about where you'd expect the top of a person's head to be, and they don't have much more than a foot of ear.
Wow, that was really long-winded.
Super Freak: Red-heads holla'! XD In that article, I think it's interesting the suggestion that the biochemistry that gives us our unusual pigmentation is also giving us extra "fight-or-flight" hormones.
Those things you mentioned earlier - character sheets, vital stats, schematics - would all make great bonus material for the Season 2 DVD. *crosses fingers* It'd be nice to actually have some real bonus material. That goofy game doesn't count.
Oddity: Official ones? I've done a fair amount of poking around and never come across any. Perhaps they were just really well-done fan versions?

Ah, Tech. Tu chauffes mon cœur comme un jour en été…
Good observations of the Loonatics' heights there Ski. I was just thinking that in most shots with humans, the Loonatics always seem considerably shorter. Compare Lexi with Queen Athena, Duck with Misty Breeze, Ace with Deuce etc. But maybe Ace, Lexi and Tech are closer to the 5ft mark and Duck's probably the shortest at 4ft something.
WB really need to release some official profiles for the Loonatics!
Oddity: Official ones? I've done a fair amount of poking around and never come across any. Perhaps they were just really well-done fan versions?
Oh, yes, official ones. I found them when a person on FF.net linked to it, and I checked around a bit, and there were copyright marks and stuff. Also, it was labeled as S2 villain planning, and Stomper and the Apocazons were there.
Wikipedia is a good guide for Loonatics Unleashed but a considerable amount of the information is incorrect.
Skifox: It's great to come across another redhead. We're such a rarity. Yeah, there was some interesting information about redheads. That's peculiar about the differing sensitivity to pain, especially the higher than usual tolerance for electrical shocks.
Thanks for the great theory on the heights of the Loonatics. I thought Zadavia looked taller than the average human (humanoid). Duck's height is the weirdest since he seems to change height from episodes. Sometimes looks to be barely shorter than Lexi but other times he looks to be at or below her chest. Generally, he seemed to have gotten shorter in season two with It Came From Outer Space being the episode where he seemed the shortest.
I totally agree about the season two DVD needing official profiles, Easter Eggs (or perhaps aptly named Danger Eggs ) or some kind of worthwhile extras. The season one DVD was extremely barebones.
the_oddity: Like Skifox, I've scoured the Internet in search of official Loonatics documentation. Either those model sheets are well hidden in a private photo album or that information was taken offline.
