I just finished watching the TV series Merlin. It was pretty good. My only real complaint is that they made Guinevere a beady eyed black girl with moles on her face that had a huge jaw, huge nose, and tiny forehead. She wasn't pretty by any stretch of the word. There were a lot of things that detracted from the original Aurthorian legend but that one took the cake.
Oh and uh, don't google it because you'll get a huge spoiler. But, allow me to save you the trouble:

I mean if they'd cast like Halle Berry or something I'd understand... I'd still be upset about it being a black girl to begin with, but at least I'd understand. But the girl cast in that role... it's just unacceptable. Unacceptable I say!
That might take too long.. I'm pretty sure that ghost moves or what ever it is called when they change bodies in ghost in the shell take less time then 5min. You could upload your ghost to the net and have to put into a body far away from the place that is in safety.
Or perhaps that is cheating?
All of that takes operating tables and someone there to do it and so on and so forth. I doubt they'd let you do that. You're tied up about to be shot and can't do anything, so essentially you're limited to things that you can do with your mind and transcending seems to be about the only option other than resigning yourself to your fate.
I mean I guess there's always the possibility of some other similar move like finding magical power deep within you and becoming a sorcerer/sorceress and annihilating them all with magic, or making a deal with some kind of demon for assistance or some such.
There's a lot of options I suppose, but they all essentially revolve around the same theme as I see it.
