Why do you always spell laser as "lazer" abf?
Ah, so it's magic :D. Yeah, I know it's all a fictional world with fictional stuff, but sometimes it's fun to nitpik this stuff. I'm not sure exactly WHY the gems have the ability to stop the beam of light mind you, but oh well, I'm sure someone will imagine something up. Magical gems are cool.
Oh and, I've seen plenty of space shows with no sound during space explosions. That's actually seemed cooler to me than huge sounds. Sometimes the ABSENCE of noise gets a message across a lot better than actual noise, like during some emotional scenes that purposfully lack music, or times during anime where when everything is going boom, instead of playing any sound effects at all, they play something by Mozart. It's like jazz, it's the notes they DON'T play. Now if you excuse me I'm going to listen to some deleted watergate tapes, it's excuisite challenge to "what IS information?" is just amazing, at an artistic level :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
