That there BattleStargate Voyager Universe thing, right?
Might be a good thing. I was cheered to note that Scalzi is creative consultant. On the other hand, The last starfighter (or Ender's game) isn't/aren't that good.
Also. You know them 'feelgood' films, yes?
They don't work. At the climax of the sodding things, when the rest of the audience are smiling through their tears or whatever happens for people for whom films are made, I'm sitting there more blackly depressed than usual since the blasted film has just thrown the essential desperation of modern life into disturbing relief.
On the other hand, a throwaway line on Making Light about the Dutch being the sort of people who'd run generation ships right, coupled with daft ideas about RepRaps, VASIMR and space-bakfiets, seems to have gone somewhere odd.
I just put it here so I can rediscover it in eighteen months time and feel rather horrible about it.
complete waste of time,
oh just sod off,
