Stavros Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 OK, so on and off for the last 8 years or so I've noted unusual coincidences in my life, themes that appear to be running through the group conscious of humanity and reality, like a reminder that there is a larger pattern. By themselves they are forgettable but collectively they've puzzled me. Feel free to post your own, but I'm keeping a public record here just so no-one thinks I'm crazy. After checking out the musical group Gregorian after reading this board's music section I buy a few tracks on iTunes earlier today. I listened, they were pretty good. Given the whole spectrum of music to choose from a character in the West Wing episode I just watched mentions Gregorian chanting as a example of the extremes of the medium. I quoted Kirk on this forum, specifically a line from Wrath of Khan when describing the new issue of Final Crisis, "How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life, wouldn't you say?". Afterwards I was discussing Final Crisis #6 with a friend and he said that Batman's death at the hands of Darkseid seemed appropriate, sort of a "From hells heart I stab at thee" action from the villain. This is a quote that Khan used in Star Trek II, and it regards how Khan is dealing with his own death. This friend had not seen my post, and he has never seen Star Trek II. Whilst I have been writing this another topic has come up on the mainpage. Ricardo Montalbán, Khan himself, has died. This was AFTER this initial coincidence That last one has me pretty freaked.

Stavros Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I just explained the Khan/Ricardo Montalbán deal to the friend. He started citing testing methods for gauging the local levels of probability. One of our black cats walks past us going from the front room into the back room. I mention that it could just be a flaw in the Matrix. Our OTHER black cat walks past in exactly the same manner. God is trying to tell me something.

Molly Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So, I was just bitching about how I wanted the Question TPBs in the comics you've read this year thread. Checked my mail and my aunt sent me Question: Poisoned Ground and JLA: Tower of Babel from my Amazon wish-list for X-Mas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat DJ Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 "From Hell's heart I stab at thee" is Ahab's final cry to the white whale in Moby Dick. Please don't reference it as a Star Trek quote, it makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 "From Hell's heart I stab at thee" is Ahab's final cry to the white whale in Moby Dick. Please don't reference it as a Star Trek quote, it makes me sad. I actually said "This is a quote that Khan used in Star Trek II". I am fully aware of its proper source, its just uncanny the manner in which it was used here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Earlier I finished reading Final Crisis #6. Right after that, Darkseid walked by. Wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but glue messes you up man, you should probably put the pritt-stick down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt described the song "Hallelujah" as "that song from Shrek" recently. I had no choice but to later identify Frank Sinatra's rendition of "Let it Snow" as "that song by Die Hard".
