Books 2009 #12 Shadows Still Remain
I really needed something easy to rest my brain after taxing it reading Pynchon. A nice page-turning like Shadows Still Remain fit the bill perfectly.
That is all.

Did I mention I was catching up with Battlestar Galactica? I was. I finished the series about three weeks ago. Dare I say I frakking loved it? frak me, I loved that show. Frak rak frak,
Space opera + drunk people unraveling emotionally + a crazy overarching mystery = motherfrakking great television.
frakkety frak frak frak.
Anyway, so I watched the prequel movie/pilot for the news series, Caprica and it too was great. It wasn't really what I expected. It was actually more Cylon: the Origin, than anything about the Caprica I knew from the show. Thing is, the origin story was so clever and well executed it didn't really matter that it wasn't what I expected. It was way cooler than that. So if you've seen the show and avoided this, for whatever reason, get off your ass and check it out. It's frakking great. I can't wait for the ongoing series to start up.
(no more frak jokes after this I swear.)
That's the question for this morning, now isn't it?

This guy reminds me of something. I don't really remember what. Yes, I know there are a lot of lizard man designs out there but this one feels like I was channeling something specific. Anyone know what I'm searching for? Who did I swipe
