We've Been Over This!

Time travel gives me, and any me in the theorised multiverse of universes close to this one, the shits. Which is counter-intuitive to the creation of energy and mass resulting from their creation *bedum tish*I fully admit up front that my impression of Moebius Squared may be coloured by the temporal wank stain that was Moebius. Perhaps I am being ( Read more... )

There is just so much love in this review!

I wanted this book to be brilliant and hopefully clear up some of the WTF-ery of the episode, but alas...

It is sad that Fandy doesn't appear to have the ability to provide themselves with decent beta readers or check the canon of their writers.

Of course, there are exceptions. I still say Barque and Siren Song are the best so far, but that's just my opinion. <3

There was so much potential for that, but alas...

I really really wish they could stick to canon, it's not hard, I didn't have to look up any of the information I wrote in my review, and my mind is far from encyclopedic as you know. *g*

I do like the stories, I think they're decent sci fi, but the canon errors are the biggest problem, it takes you out of the story.

Aw, thanks! It's such a shame though because these books have such potential!

Thanks for the review, aspecially for its honesty! As I mentioned, I gave up on Fandemonium pretty quickly. (The only one I really liked is Julie Fortune's Sacrifice Moon, which I love beyond description.)

I do like the idea of addressing the very serious concern about AU-2 Teal'c's symbiote maturing, and it proving to be Egeria. It's an intriguing idea, with a nice level of inherent narrativium. (I've been reading/re-reading a lot of Discworld lately.)

I also like the idea of dodgy Tok'ra, because the Tok'ra are more dodgy than not, and Tok'ra whitewashing is one of my minor peeves (not quite a pet peeve -- maybe it's a feral peeve that lives in my backyard).

I think the Teal'c and Egeria storyine would have been greatly serviced had a reason been provided for *why* Egeria was 'good'. What made her believe what she did when the goa'uld genetic memory and lack of 'soul' if you will from the sarc us would have stripped her of any 'goodness'.

*rests quotation fingers*

Tok'ra shit me too. :P
