The Doctor’s Pulls (14:30)
 
Questions
  • How do you reconcile a question when an A-List character (Hal Jordan) has served on both sides of the answer? (24:55)
  • Is Mark Millar’s Superman story a good example of destiny? (38:17)
  • I was leaning towards no free will because of Earth 33, but then I remember an issue where our imaginations are products of other Earth’s. (46:13)
  • Wouldn’t the Book of Oa make a case for pre-destination? (52:38)
  • Free will.  Because of the nature of free will versus fate. (56:36)
  • If there are characters named Dr. Fate and Dr. Destiny, doesn’t it prove that those things exist? (1:03:58)
  • Aztek (1:06:35)
