Is anyone else annoyed that this Japanese novel w/Japanese cast of charters has been almost completely white-washed? There's a single American in it. Read more

I absolutely love this story. Thanks for reprinting it! Read more

The nice thing about a return of Boba Fett: he's got his own armor. Read more

Don't forget about Vermont. We've under a state of emergency in anticipation of the storm. We've got water on hand. Read more

Yeah. I don't think that they'll be exact copies of one another, but just a sort of in passing similarity. Read more

Just the idea that one story feeds into the others, one after the other. Read more

How does this stack up against The Fountain? I get a sense that there's some similarities (in concept, not in storyline) between them. Read more

I'm particularly worried about what happens if/when the story comes up to Vermont. 14 months ago, we were hit with another big one, Irene, and we're still sorting out the mess. Read more

Charlie (not you, Charlie Jane) is the more infuriating aspect of the show. If she were gone (which would be unfortunate, because strong female leads are needed - she's just not there), the show would be hugely better. Hopefully, we'll see Charlie grow - the quicker the better. Read more

Very sad news. A bunch of Babylon 5 friends of mine were never keen on Sinclair, but I always liked him quite a bit. Read more

Luke Skywalker is also on the hook with his shot on the Death Star. Read more

I thought it was good, but that there's a lot of room for improvement alongside the room for growth: There's a lot that they can do with the show. If they adopt a similar model as Supernatural, I have little doubt that it'll get a decent run on television. Read more

Editing is a huge component, but they also have the logistical support for promotion that most indie authors don't have readily available. Read more

Next time we have a big, epic SF show, the cast picture needs to replicate this, rather than the Last Supper picture. Read more

I'm in awe of this picture. It's absolutely splendid. Read more

Nothing quite that close, but there are some stories that talk a bit about an elderly population with few younger people to follow them. Read more

Half the authors here are Japanese, and a bunch of the non-Japanese authors have either lived in, or have fairly close connections to the country, which helped quite a bit. Read more
