Yeah. North Korea is the country that's been making "nuclear threats". Iran has just made more generalized threats like retaliation and such. :P

Well remember, titans lack reproductive organs which would include breasts. Basically titans like the big eyed one could actually be female titans, its just hard to tell since their is very little to distinguish them from the males. Heck it can even be the other way around, the pic you linked could be another male titan.

It was cool when the main character titan (forgot his name) punted the baby Titans.

Is it more appropriate to say 'Kick the dwarf'? Or gnomes? Or Hobbits... or whatever it is?

They prefer the term "little titan".

I have to said I'm rather impressed at the subtle level of foreshadowing the production staff did to hinting a Titan Eren. It's not just in episode 2, but here in episode 3 just after Eren had his accident during the balancing exercise. I got this from another forum by the way.

Right. If you had noticed during some of Erengelion attacks his fists get damaged. Steam seems to rise from those wounds as he recovers and a little bit of it looks to apply to his human form.

Oh ho, yes! That steam! Titan's healing factor typically release steam while regenerating its injuries with body heat! It was something many of us did not noticed to hint that Eren is a Titan in episode 3!

I'm impressed how they did it to 'troll' us all.

GG, Isayama.

keep in mind that the stills are used during comedic scenes or dramatic stationary moments mostly.
Save your complaints until they actually use stills during action scenes

Also for those skeptical about the next episode, notice who's in the preview?

But they've totally done that...Eren coming out with the knife taped to a broom handle to kill the last guy at Mikasa's house was one big giant still. Whether you call that an action scene or not is up to you, I guess, but I'd call it one for sure.

They did have people call out "Death to the U.S." or "Death to Israel" in demonstrations and rallies staffed by extremists or government employees. At any rate, most countries around the world could, if they have enough money, and have already established nuclear power plants, even the relatively poorer Latin American countries. No one even protested when Chavez decided to build a nuclear power plant in Venezuelan with Russian help.

If you meant most developed countries who have fund then yes, you are right. But let's not forget that most countries in this world are not "developed" yet. Let's alone having enough fund. And Venezuelan are not poor per se. They are swimming in oil. I also doubt it went smoothly without any protest but I don't know much about that matter so I'll take your word. Another thing is when you said Russian's help, it mean it's Russian who do the building not Venezuelan. I doubt the Russian will happily give up the know-how, aka technology, to Venezuelan so they can develop their own nuclear technology from now on.

The issue about nuclear power is not only about evil intent to nuke other country with it. It's also about a safety measure that country is capable of when it process a nuclear power plant. You don't want another Chernobyl at your neighbor country would you ?

Yes. The purpose and function of female breasts and nipples is to produce milk to feed infants; thus they are part of the reproductive system. For the most part, i believe that any animal that give live birth (vast majority of mammals) all have nipples for this reason, where as egg-laying animals do not. So if an creature is unable to reproduce at all, breasts serve no purpose

I expect a certain level of plausibility in anime. With that said, there is nothing his father could have given him in the past to spare him from being eaten alive. No matter how they spin their alchemy explanation, it'll just sound lame and absurd. It really turns me off when writers make heroes that are practically immune to death in a world that, as Mikasa describes, is quite cruel and unforgiving.
