Reading Razor's Edge (correct title ;) now and kind of disappointed by the sloppy writing, slow pacing and helpless lady action (I mean, from a female writer I din't expect Han would have to save her again and that the only deaths, so far, are women)

Currently reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac. The last two years involved a lot of traveling for me, so it was only fitting I'd receive a copy of it as a Christmas gift 2 years ago, on my first-ever travel to the U.S. And now I'm finally getting around to reading it.

Finally starting this. I'm not very far in yet, so nothing overtly SFish has happened yet, still in the middle of the Cultural Revolution. But I'm intrigued so far.

You're in for a great Martian rover ride.

At the recommendation of Lauren Davis, I started reading Tarkin today. And by "reading" I mean listening to because print books are so 2007.

I've just picked up the Star Wars and the Star Wars: Darth Vader comic series. First comics I've ready. Now with the new "everything is cannon" mentality I'll go ahead and pick up all the media after swearing them off for killing the existence of some of my favorite characters.

Just started...

If you're trying to also appeal to an international audience the high school setting makes no sense to me, The american high school experience seems pretty unique to your country (and also seems pretty bloody awful) as someone from the UK I couldn't really relate to it.

I've noticed quite a few corporate "fluffers" on io9. I wonder if they work in concert with the admins?

Oh, how far this show (or at least, my perceptions of this show) has come in less than a season. Some genuinely striking and compelling moments of storytelling in this episode.

Reminds me of that selection of sci-fi fans who insist only "hard" sci-fi can be called "real" sci-fi. I agree, science is important (look at how well "The Martian" feels so real with great science stuff) and while I like suspension of disbelief as well as anyone, in today's world, presenting real science facts is…

The novelization of Episode III by Matthew Strover has a great added bit where Dooku and Palpatine talk before the Jedi show up and we learn what Dooku thinks the plan is: Kill Obi-Wan but let himself be captured by Anakin. In prison, Dooku will claim he was really the figurehead, appalled at the horrors Grievous…

Indeed.

Yeah, I believe all those things. It's just that the reboot thing is getting so. damn. fatiguing. Another pile of cash that could have made something "original".

Working on finishing up a series of Star Wars based shorts for all ages. My nephews are huge Star Wars fans and get a real kick out of these. Here is one of them titled Remote Control Droid. You can find the rest at ninjatitan.com

15 years between the events of the Clone Wars cartoon and the events of Rebels is what I meant.

(Rolling the dice) C'mon, Mara Jade!

Is Cordon an remake or new adaptation or whatever of the Belgian tv series Cordon, or is it another case of "just a coincidence/we did not know anything about it" like Les revenents and 'The Returned'/Resurrection?

Librarian seems like a fun job. Until you die. But it doesn't seem to come with the Warehouse 13 style curse... So yeah Librarian could be fun.
