I’m pretty sure that Trump (most recent Republican president) supports Trump (current Republican candidate).
I’m not a political analyst so I might be wrong
You’re probably right, but I was trying to say it deserves more recognition. I don’t think it would be a good TV show either. And Eragon has put me off all dragon-related adaptations I think!
It changes based on the book and situation, honestly. Sometimes a weyr boasts than none has got through their wings for several years. Sometimes it’s just a couple of Threads. But often, whenever a character is caught outside, it’s taken to be certain death. For example
Menolly’s fire lizards die as they’re hatching and go out into thread
I can’t remember the book, but one punishment for murderers is to leave them outside in Threadfall to be killed
In Renegades of Pern, many of the traders die in the opening chapter despite there being dragonriders nearby
I feel like a lot of Anne McCaffrey’s writing is inconsistent and is more based on what’s good for the plot than anything else. And (at least in the early editions I own) could have done with a better proofreader. Couple of spelling mistakes, but a lot of people and dragon names changing and other consistency errors. But I still love the books, don’t get me wrong!
The first couple of books were originally published in sci-fi magazines, so they are more like collections of short stories than books. Usually each story covers one crises, and by the next story everyone from the first is dead and gone. So if Apple are trying to make a single cohesive narrative, I can see that it would either need to make a lot of changes or be set later in the Foundation timeline when the books were written as books
That thing was genuinely just opening itself up for a while and hoping for the best.
Sounds like my dating strategy…
Thanks.
I’ve read Night Angel series, that’s where I know the name from. Not the sort of book I’d usually enjoy but I remember good things. I think I’ll add Lightbringer to my list of books to read :)
Dragonriders of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey. Currently doing my umpteenth read-through completely accidentally. I wanted to read one of the books then got sucked in. I’m nine books in and read several of them in one sitting, despite having read them all plenty of times.
And while I’m on the subject, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone taking about Pern online but I see mentions of Isaac Asimov every few weeks. They’re of a similar age and Pern is equally good as Isaac’s work, if not better. Grumble grumble…
I believe Foundation was made into a series already, by Amazon
Although I love the books, I’d never want to see them as a film. I expect it would be so gory it would take away from the story. Kind of how Game of Thrones was just so focused on boobs that it was honestly embarrassing to watch sometimes.
I know I recognise the name Brent Weeks, and I know I remember a magic system based around colour. Does that book start with someone who brings his cloak to life with colour magic? And as you get more magically powerful, you can see more and richer colours?
Surely you’ve seen the 100% faithful adaption, “Will Smith Shoots Stuff”?
And apparently Amazon made an adaptation of Foundation, not that I’ve watched it yet. Not sure if I even want to, part of the charm is how long ago it was written and how crazy some parts of it are
Fuck what you enjoy.
Also good dating advice, as long as they consent
Ain’t nobody got time for that
I feel like emoticon use tells your age. Old people use noses. Regular people use no noses. Young people use emoji 🤮
It worx for me

Seeing more patients is not a good thing by itself
