Well, I personally had some kind of subconscious notion that the gauntlet had something to do with the creation of mamluks. Still, I rather think it doesn't, because if it did, I think he would've tried to mamlukify Aladdin or someone long ago.
This logic leads me to believe that the process of creating mamluks isn't the simplest procedure in the world. It may not be especially hard, but it's probably a little more involved than, say, "push the button." |

| Yesss... this is making more and more sense as time goes on. Mozenrath uses the gauntlet to drain the life-force from people, making them into Mamluks... so of course he'd be reincarnated as a Wraith! |

And Mozenwrath is just one letter off from Mozenwraith. Coincidence? I think NOT!  Maybe... if Sheppard is Aladdin reincarnated, Steve was Mozenrath reincarnated!
Wonder what he'll come back as next? |

Yeah, I saw that one closed captioned, too. Mozenwrath? MOZENWRATH? I always thought Shamash was RIGHT, though, where did you see it spelled the other way?
I tell you, the butchering they do to Pokemon is scary... |

Er, Shamash actually is the right spelling.

| No, I mean like they'll put a different word in that sounds similar, so that the meaning of the sentence is totally changed. Almost like the person doing the closed captioning heard it wrong. |

| I'd imagine changing the dialogue is sometimes trying to interpret it for the deaf to be able to understand it better. There's a lot of figures of speech and what not that they really don't understand - sarcasm is a good example. |
