Love And Hate

24 Apr 2009

Things that Big Dumb Object has loved and hated this week:

Loved

  • Star Trek hype. Whilst it’s hype anything is still possible, and every film is brilliant! Lots of mentions of Science Fiction in the press and on radio.
  • Lost. I know I’m not the only one who is completely addicted in an insane way, because I had a conversation this week with someone else who was too, someone who was not your typical SF fan as well.
  • The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The season finale is on Virgin1 next week. Quality stuff.
  • Started reading The Quiet War by Paul McAuley. Two chapters of exposition and back-story so far, yet it’s remarkably gripping.

 

 

Hated

  • J G Ballard dying. Mortality is rubbish. At least he left behind an amazing legacy.
