Given Liz Phair’s take on your current status, do you believe you’re more of a Soundgarden “Black Hole Sun” or more of a Echoing Green celestial body?

Supernova, have you ever considered seeing a therapist for your anger and self-confidence issues?

Supernova, can I have your autograph? I like that song you played on Yo Gabba Gabba! and am very excited that you’ve come to the Dope. Kinda pissed about the whole “raging anger and blowing up” thing, but seeing as I’m still here, the tinfoil suit I made (in replica of what you wore on the show) must be working.

Welcome, flaming death overlord!!

What do you think of the following:  
The PBS science show, Nova?  
The character from Space Battleship Yamato (AKA Star Blazers), Nova?  
The character from Robotech Masters (AKA Southern Cross), Nova Satori?  
The theoretical stellar explosion that would be bigger than you, quark nova?

Its ok Supernova. I’ll heal. Eventually. The main thing is that _you’re_ feeling more mellow now.
