To "Award winning author" Max Allan Collins...
... could you please, please, please stop writing the tie-in novels for my favorite shows, thereby insuring that all official novels based on the characters I hold dear suck?
First, you fucked up Criminal Minds by rewriting the episode Legacy, adding a cameraman to the mix - but constantly pointing out that you'd only rewritten Legacy by having them think about how similar the two situations were - and calling it Jump Cut... complete with beloved characters who have never cursed on the show throwing around the F-bomb like necklaces at Mardi Gras.
Now (although I guess going by dates, you did this first) you've fucked up Dark Angel. How, you ask? By describing Logan - on page 23 of the novel Skin Game - as "tall, blue-eyed, with spiky brown-blond hair and that shy smile..."
MICHAEL WEATHERLY DOES NOT HAVE BLUE EYES!
For fuck's sake, dude... if you're going to write about these shows, watch them first! And if you're going to describe these characters, maybe - just maybe - you should look at them!
Michael Weatherly has the most incredibly beautiful green/hazel eyes I have ever seen. They're a very unique color, because they do seem to change from light to dark every now and again (maybe to reflect his mood? Mr. Universe's eyes do that.), and there were times when Logan's eyes almost glowed... but they were always green!
And I bitch about fanfic writers saying Tony has blue eyes? Holy shit... when the "Award winning" pro authors can't even get it right, what's the fucking point?
