Very interesting reading. I watched an old original Star Trek tonight and the acting was horrible, except for Spock and Uhura.
And I wish I could go back and see the new Star Trek again. It is on my not to be missed DVD list though. Then I can watch it anytime. Complete with patented JJ Abrams quick cuts that just about make me sick to my stomach.
And OSC did flog the sequels to Ender's Game to death. The original sequels could have been awesome but I got so bogged down in the philosophy (and left the piggies hanging) it got boring.
But the Shadow series was different. He could have compressed them into 2 books instead of 4 but they were very entertaining and resonated a lot with what is going on in the world today.
