I love this website. That's all I have to say here.

They don't seem bright enough for their level of technology, is I guess the main thing. Or else, their generals, heads of state, and ...Jar Jar... are chosen poorly from among the lot. They have underwater force-fields (which means even if they're amphibious they prefer oxygen environments, so it seems safe to say…

Heh. The Kaminoans I totally could have come up with if I'd tried hard enough. The "Exogoranth"? All I can say is, of course it has a name. Why didn't I think to look on the Star Wars wiki for that? Haha.

So... space racism?

Mike from Breaking Bad...?

And if Jack had been played by Michael Keaton!

Yeah I only saw a handful of episodes from that era but I had to ask my fiancee (who'd seen all or nearly all), "Is that... is that just racism? Are they together now because they're the two black people in space?" Even only seeing a couple of episodes, it never read like a natural direction for the characters.

I knew it would be here. I wasn't disappointed.

That is a fair argument.

Star Wars seems to have gotten the pass. The Sarlacc, the Hutts, the Space Worm from Empire, the cloner race from the prequels/Clone Wars I'm forgetting the name of, and...

Wow. Heh. Why not? I'd watch that!

I haven't heard of that one... interesting! Something to look up/be excited for. Thanks.

And yet the bit about the brother (and the original hardback had a photo of Kurt and his brother smiling together on the back) still tore me up/brought up tears.

John Laroquette, really?

That's interesting. It's certainly an "idea over character" book but I still found the characters pretty strong, and to say they don't develop — I can't agree with you there at all. Miller, Holden, and in a small way Naomi are all different people at the end than at the beginning. Their arcs aren't traditional…

Totally. I didn't want to paste 9 or 10 KV books up here though, so I stopped at four, the four that off the top of my head were the most like sci-fi even though they obviously weren't fully sci-fi. SH5 has some really obvious sci-fi things (aliens, time travel) but those are all just gags for delivering a…

There's a reason we put blinds on windows. It isn't so we can murder our spouses.

This isn't a newsflash article. If you want to "snarkyliciously" snark on a point the article takes for granted, that's cool, but the intent of the article is to help you protect yourself. If I start a clinic that hands out free condoms and a brochure on planned parenthood, will you come hang out in the lobby…
