Man, there are a lot more people upset about this video here than I expected.

Predestination paradox. But you can make the argument that Sinclair becoming Valen didn't 'screw up' his timeline because it took the involvement of the Minbari for Sinclair to find his true calling.

You need a flow chart and lots of space to explain that one. But I love it. Going back to become your enemy so you can make your enemy your ally in the present, and allow a descendent to morph a bit and get it on with Bruce Boxleitner? Awesome.

I think the Crawler is the shining, fleshy lure of the anglerfish that is the tower. And the tower is the leading force of nature/consciousness in Area X.

I saw the Crawler as a sort of "Patient Zero," as if an infinitely more complex mind reached into our world and either took possession of, or got stuck in, a human consciousness.

This might be the most terrifying picture ever posted on io9. Even more terrifying than that spider gif.

I agree with the last statement. It is only 200 pages long and first of a trilogy, all three of which are being released over six months so you know they are written. Seems to me somebody is jacking up the price by selling one long book in three parts.

I thought this was an absorbing and enjoyable read. A few questions for folks who have read it, if I may: (spoiler warning for those who haven't)

I have lots and lots of questions, and I don't know how many of them I want answered in the next books... Super trippy. Super engrossing. Kinda Lovecrafty.

He also travels from 1990 back to 2035 before jumping from there backward to 1917 and then on to 1996, and then he jumps back to 2035 briefly again (the bit where they give him the pardon) before returning to 1996 for a final time. It's way more complicated than that chart.

I can't find a single video or image of it anywhere, but that great opening from "Bad Blood" on The X-Files stuck with me.
