| Absolutely true. Its always a joy to read the long winded debate between the fanboys and the non-conformists. |
| The dialogue of the show can be a bit long-winded at times, but there are so many golden quotes, and it's not just hackneyed stuff either, they dress truisms or philosophical traditions in wit and humour which makes it entertaining as well as informative. So I think for impressionable teenagers, LotGH may very well be a factor in making them smarter. |

| I think at age 15, I would have lapped it up and it would have made me more cognizant of politics, governance, etc. I really was a dumb mindless teen who didnt understand the Kafka-esque lunacy of governments, war, etc. LotGH would have highlighted it nicely. |

| I wouldn't say it made me wiser, but it did reassure my worldview of politics, history etc although I disagreed with how democratic ideals were glorified since what we've witnessed in recent times is more like plutocracy (poorly) disguised as democracy, and I'm not really sure if there is a country that we can call democratic in the true sense, but whatever. Although to its defense I must say that I liked how it portrayed the dilemma of choosing between a corrupt democracy on one side and a 'good' autocracy on the other hand. I would have liked it more if it had a more cynical view of things, but that wouldn't have made it look good on tv :P |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |

Sadomatic said: this whole thing reminds me of SimCity How logh can be compared to simcity? Wtf I don't even? Everyone knows that logh is similar to worms: armageddon LOL. |
| This is indeed true. Without LOGH, I wouldn't have known that spaceships can only travel through tiny passageways instead of picking a less well-defended route and that spaceships have to travel through mines instead of around them. |

| LOGH taught me that alcohol is humanity's friend and that you should never abandon a friend. |
orzel286 said: Troll logic. No point questioning it. It should be readily apparent to anyone with half a brain that the Thor's hammer is a homage to the Concrete Donkey and that Reinhard's hair mirrors the Holy Hand Grenade, no similarity at all with Sim City.How logh can be compared to simcity? Wtf I don't even? Everyone knows that logh is similar to worms: armageddon LOL. |
