    Um, actually, Nintendo always maintained that they had an internal timeline for the Zelda games, but had said they wanted players to focus on the gameplay, not the continuity, which is why they delayed releasing it until fan demand caused them to publish it in Hyrule Historia. About to go into full nerd mode, but back in 2002 I did a school project where I proved that they 100% knew that there would be a three-way split in the timeline by the time OoT was released. Let's look at three points of evidence: 1) Ocarina was billed as a prequel to A Link to the Past upon release. 2) Ocarina _has_ to be a prequel because so many events described in the Sealing War backstory In ALttP occurred in OoT (Ganon's previous identity as the thief Ganondorf, for starters). And 3) Ocarina _can't_ be a prequel to ALttP because in the Sealing War, Ganon was sealed in the Golden Land in possession of the entire Triforce (and he still has it as seen in the game's ending), while he was sealed with only 1 piece in OoT's ending. That means that there had to be a third ending that we never got to see. An ending where he was able to take the other two pieces from Link and Zelda. In other words: OoT had hidden lore everyone missed for _years._
    Also, um, actually, there was a _third_ mistake in that statement that wasn't addressed, that is what sparked this whole rant which is that the unified Zelda timeline wasn't the version already released, it was this idea of a single timeline that contained all of the games. It lost steam in the aftermath of Wind Waker, and the original split timeline theory (which only had two branches, child and adult) became more popular. That's why the fans got so pissed about the downfall timeline, literally 99.9% of the fans were proven wrong. Because, again, they missed the hidden lore.

      @Zahaqiel though I think it is kind of you to give Shane the benefit of the doubt, the words "giant robots" were clearly qualifiers for Evangelions. Even Shane says "not all the pilots" - the key being plural - "were teenagers." Since Jet Alone is the only "giant robot" that could have been referred to - although was clearly not being referred to, as the Evas not being giant robots was the correct answer - there would only have been one pilot, that of Jet Alone itself. So I don't think that Shane would win the point, even semantically. Maybe had he said "there was no pilot" it could have earned a point, but I think even Shane himself would say that he was speaking of the Evas, not Jet Alone.

      @Zahaqiel I'm confused about the rude part as the game is made for technicallities like this. Regardless, are you saying it would be right to take Erika's point away to give it to Shane for the Eva question? Because I just think that would be the wrong thing to do. I feel like Track would say, "though what you said is technically true it doesn't correct the part that's wrong in this statement." Still think it's awesome to remember Jet Alone! But I don't think Erika should lose the point for it.

It would also make it much heavier, likely to the point that no human could just wield the whole thing and smash the sword free.

    Um actually, Torchwood was originally founded by Victoria after the werewolf fight to protect the British Empire from the Doctor specifically and to arm itself against alien threats generally. At the end of Season 2, when they encounter the London branch of Torchwood, Torchwood is unashamed in that they steal alien tech and reverse engineer it. After the battle of Canary Wharf, Jack Harkness rebuilt Torchwood from the Cardiff branch into something he believed the Doctor would be proud of to protect the human race from hostile alien threats and to monitor the Time/Space rift in Cardiff.

      Um actually, the spelling of real words doesn't matter, as language is just a tool we invented to communicate ideas; so as long as the same idea is communicated -- especially with the same pronunciation -- it's the same title.

      There aren't so many letters that you can just go about spelling things however you like. You're going to confuse people and make communication more difficult for everyone.
      Color and colour aren't pronounced the same if you know how to read properly.

      Are you telling me you think any significant proportion of people would fail to understand that colour and color have the same meaning, especially in the context in which they see the words used? And you sincerely believe that to be the case, rather than just want to pretend it's true to make a point?
      Also, they *are* pronounced the same. A British person pronounces "color" the same as "colour", and an American does as well.

    Um, actually, the Doctor Who episode "Tooth and Claw" was about the Tenth Doctor and Rose defending Queen Victoria from a werewolf in a manor home named Torchwood. Which is where Victoria got the idea to create the Torchwood Institute to deal with extraterrestrial threats.
