I think the factory workers (and if not, the sewing machine operators) might possibly start dying long before the garments reached the consumers. Not that *that* makes it less terrible, but it would still be a rather ineffective method for striking at consumers.

Wait. Wasn't it 2001 that invented the iPad?

They did forewarn us about it, and also did make a post about watching it live. :)

Well, it didn't actually say that the statement was brilliant, just that Ellen Datlow is. Now, Ellen Datlow may be brilliant, for all I know. But I agree that her explanation was pretty simple and self-evident, and didn't contain any clear signs of her supposed brilliance.

It's fantasy that masquerades as science fiction — just like Star Wars. Interestingly, we don't get much science fiction masquerading as fantasy.

Also, I totally do not feel touched! I'm cool and tough! See, I can watch super cute animals and then talk about eating them! Yeah, that's who I am, bitches.

Also, makes you sound really EDGY and stuff.

It really gets its comeuppance in the beginning of the 19th century, though.

Yes, all those things really annoyed me. If they didn't want people who look like they are living off the land in a very low-tech, down-to-earth way, why set in in a world where people live off the land in a very low-tech, down-to-earth way? And no way you'd go into the woods hunting with your long hair flowing loose…

The Silurian was a Terran geological era, so even though the Silurians look alien to us, they are not supposed to be extra-terrestrial. The Silurian era was way before dinosaurs evolved, though, or even archosaurs.

Yeah, but the spinoff was supposed to be set in Victorian London, in HG's original lifetime.

But Myka has a love interest already — HG. :)

Tudor era isn't exactly the Middle Ages, guys. The Middle Ages ended at least two centuries earlier. Keep your facts straight!

If anyone has gained immortality by their place in history, it's certainly him.
