Then they can do a hilarious episode where Bialick’s character refuses to get her husband vaccinated!

No one can live up to Manu Bennett. Crixus forever!

Eh, fanboys would just criticize them for doing a remake of that scene in The Dark Knight.

I would argue that Peter Rabbit was always an insufferable dick. He disobeyed his mother’s rules against going into the garden. He not only stole vegetables from the garden but he gorged on so many that he made himself sick. Then he ran home so that his mother could take care of him. He sounds like a millennial.

“The Word for World is Forest” is more or less the basis for the Doctor Who story “Kinda” AND James Cameron’s AVATAR, so not a bad one to start with if you want to get a sense of her influence on the rest of the genre.

I’m still furious the Nobel committee ran out of eligible male writers to give it to and lobbed one at Bob Dylan instead.

Damn. The term “literary titan” cannot be applied any better than to her. Indisputably one of the greatest, most influential SF/Fantasy authors of all time. I’ve read quite a few of her works and count The Dispossessed as one of my favorite novels.

This one really hurts. I was hoping she might get the Nobel in Literature in the next couple of years.

I’ve only read a few of her books, relative to her total output - the original Earthsea trilogy, Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and a couple of short stories - but I loved them all. Many aspects to her importance as a writer, but I think she was probably the best writer of prose, in the ways that are…

This is a huge, huge bummer. She was a tremendously gifted, visionary writer. The Left Hand of Darkness changed the way I looked at the world, what more could you ask for from a novel?
