    SG-U: 2.20 - Gauntlet

    Reading some of the posts here, on IMDB, and other places, it seems a lot of people got into SGU after it was cancelled, when both seasons were available on Netflix and Amazon Prime. It was the same for me -- I didn't start watching SGU until 2012 when it was on Netflix. It's a good show. A...

    So apparently you can use "the" too much.

    It's a rhythm thing. Like others have said, sometimes a reader will get hung up on stuff like that, but it's easy to fix by pushing a few words around. I wouldn't worry about it.

    What's the future political landscape for Westeros?

    That would be poetic, I agree, but unfortunately Aegon doesn't have dragons. I thought I read something about a theory that there are latent or unhatched dragons at Dragonstone, but I don't remember if that pertained to Aegon in any way. Personally I'm not sure Aegon really is who he thinks he...

    Consider Phlebas

    I loved this book. It's one of my favorite SF books of all time, and it's classic Banks. How is it possible that no one has made a movie out of Consider Phlebas or one of his other books? The set pieces alone would seem to demand the big-screen treatment, not to mention the fact that Hollywood...

    October 2015: What are you reading?

    I absolutely LOVED Galactic North, but then again I'm a huge fan of Alastair Reynolds. Dilation Sleep, Nightengale and Grafenwalder's Bestiary were my favorite of the short stories in Galactic North. Dilation Sleep is one of my favorite short stories of all time...the way it conveys the...

    Slow Bullets by Alistair Rynolds

    I'm a big fan of Reynolds, and I've read everything he's written with the exception of his Dr. Who book, but I can't say Slow Bullets is one of my favorites. I read it in mid-August, and I had to stop and think for a minute to remember how the plot unfolded and how it ended. That's a hell of a...
