    ... some upthread posts are nudging me towards SIDEWINDERS...


    3rd of the way in, and must say, Forumies, you did not steer me wrong.



    This book just gets better and better....

    The sequence
    Spoiler
    damn, that was some solid writing.

    Want to see something cool? I am proceeding on the assumption that you do indeed want to see.

    Look up the Danakil Depression, Dalliol Sulphur Springs, and other elements of Ethiopian geography like the waterfalls and mountain fastnesses/churches.

    These provided such a cool base for my imagining of what was happening in Master Assassins and Sidewinders.

    A waste of time and resources is an apt way to describe RFK Jr's existence for the last several decades.

    I finally finished Farscape after about a year or so of getting through episodes and the TV movie.

    I now understand why this show limped through the seasons rather than being a truly great sci Fi show. There's too many lost in the dream world episodes, frequent skips of character motivations, a laziness in giving all the characters extreme combat skills relative to the bad guys, and occasionally a tendency for the story to just do crazy stuff for the hell of it (looking at the Jothee/Chiana and the video game storylines specifically).

    The casting is also incredibly non diverse over the series, whether it's the main cast or the supporting roles or the background actors. It's genuinely bizarre - even 20 years ago - and damages enjoyment of the show now and likely then.

    That being said, there are some truly great characters, some wild and good storylines, and a memorable show on the whole.

    Mixed bag, wish it was better than it was.

    And oh no I just read somewhere she's a scientologist who defended rapist Danny Masterson. Welp that was good while it lasted.

    Yeah, that was a fast milkshake duck.

    Oh well.

    Has anyone actually watched interview with the vampire series? The reviews are good and I loved the books when I was a teen girl, but worrying that it is just a chick flick that will tarnish my high school memories.

    Shockingly good. I think you'll enjoy it.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
