![]() ![]() The Titans series finale never actually shows Sebastian's face melting like soft cheese in the sun, and the villain has survived plenty of other near-death situations, meaning a comeback is not completely ruled out. Whether Brother Blood is actually dead remains unconfirmed. Titans gives the impression that ending this chapter is the only way Starfire can begin a fresh one. ![]() Starfire's insistence on killing Brother Blood in Titans' final episode is less about ensuring he can never return, and more about fulfilling her destiny and completing the mission bestowed upon her by the folks of Tamaran. Kory has spent four seasons trying to avoid and escape this destiny, and even spurned the opportunity to kill Sebastian earlier in Titans season 4 - a decision she came to regret once Brother Blood transformed into a bona fide menace. When Titans began, Starfire's story was wrapped around a Tamaranian prophecy that involved defeating the child of Trigon. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Why Pro-Life? by Randy Alcorn![]() ![]() Modern technology offers a window to the womb that is changing the face of the abortion debate. ![]() A 3-D ultrasound photo of a baby 21 weeks after conception-just over halfway through the pregnancy.

By contrast, AN Wilson's new book Hitler is barely 200 pages, and that in a small, almost hand-sized hardcover - shorter, in other words, than the end-notes to either Kershaw volume. Even in just a partial listing, we have Alan Bullock's Hitler: A Study in Tyranny at 512 pages, Joachim Fest's Hitler at 856 pages, John Toland's Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography at 1,120 pages, and Ian Kershaw's Hitler: A Biography at 1,030 pages - itself a one-volume abridgment of Kershaw's two-volume life, each volume of which is over 900 pages long. Considering the significance and sheer squalid evil of the man, readers have come to expect that biographies of Adolf Hitler will be tomes. ![]() |
