  1. I can see that for sure. I should give CP a reread. I remember reading the first chapter and thinking “I have no idea what’s going on,” although that’s no knock against the author—plenty of sci fi starts in medias res. CP provides some really good opportunity for social effects and action sequences, so I’ll definitely watch.
  2. I would have liked to see the Lions win, but it’s hard to argue with the OPI call on the final play.
  3. I disagree. Sure, if they were doing the Mars Trilogy, they couldn’t start with Green Mars of Blue Mars (I’d kill to see that series made). But in the Culture books, you’re not following the same characters through multiple books, and The Culture itself doesn’t change in a way that you have the follow the publication order. Maybe you wouldn’t start with a later book like Excession that has more complex interaction among the minds, but any of the first few could work as the first storyline for a TV series.
  4. Forget that. Give me The Player of Games.
  5. The black guy in the hoodie?
  6. Halcyon days.
  7. Where are you seeing that it’s a loan? At least from the linked article, it looks like an equity deal with a call option after a set period.
  8. Correlation, meet causation.
  9. You could write a dissertation on the opening scene of The Wire. It distills all the major themes of the series.
  10. This is a great malapropism.
  11. So is it closer to a JV game or an NFL preseason game?
  12. I have a good friend who says he loves Ohio because he’s an 4 everywhere else but a 10 there.
  13. Thank you. Who names their son Creed, let alone their daughter? She got smoked though.
  14. Nice play there. I thought the defender was beat.
