Slow Six-Weeks...

I'm not sure what to really talk about this time around.  Snow Crash was zany as heck, but it didn't really interest me that much.  Red Dwarf was actually sort of fun and engaging for it's variation on the inanity factor, but that was just a single introductory episode.  

Bloodchild was great, and I'm a fan of less humanoid aliens myself.  I tend to enjoy there being more major differences in physicality, society and culture when it comes to sentient aliens that humans interact with, so it was fun to read this and see as more and more things were revealed about the Tlic.  I actually understood and agreed with where Butler's explanations came from, coming to really love the concepts of her story.  

This is a pretty short post, but I can't wait to see some more Star Trek

    Right?! Humanoid aliens are much easier when you're making a tv show or a movie, but as a concept, they don't make much sense. Why would other planets--completely different ecosystems--have evolved creatures so similar to us?
