About the Star Wars points: Star Wars didn't have the greatest acting but it did have characters people immediately connected with and the interaction was great. The chemistry between Ford, Hammil, and Fisher helped a lot in this area as well. Also, the plot was good. About the endings to the...

Excellent points. I don't get to go see many movies in the theater, so when I do it has to be a for-sure great movie. I might watch Eragon when it comes out on video, but I'm not paying $7.50 to see it. I don't care how good the visual effects are, if the story is bad, the acting is bad, and...

I agree. The scope of the series is amazing and Erikson handles it better than a lot of fantasy writers.

I agree, tastes are different. I like the Malazan series, it's among my favorites. However, I can see the flaws and realize that some folks just don't care for it. That's fine, there are books I don't care for either. Not liking it isn't a case of not getting it, it's a case of not liking the...

It's a great series. The first book is tough, I won't lie about that. Erikson throws you right into the action and for half the book you really don't know what is going on. But, it gets better towards the end. The second book, Deadhouse Gates, is fantastic. Memories of Ice is even better. That...

Didn't Littlefinger tell Sansa at one point that he thought it would take Cersei longer to pull herself down so he had to speed up his plans? I got the feeling he wanted a longer time to get other plans going before getting rid of Cersei. How much of Cersei's fall was Littlfinger actually...

All of those shows are in their first season. You didn't see these same complaints that you see now about Lost during it's first season either. Everyone liked it because it had this great character interaction and had all these mysteries with stuff happening. Now people are getting frustrated by...

I hope a lot happened considering it was a Pilot. A lot happened in the Lost pilot as well if you remember.

I have no complaint over the number of books, but rather the pacing of the books. The Malazan series is up to 6 books and is scheduled to go 10, but so far there has been no wasted space. The plots have moved forward a lot in each book and there has been a ton of stuff happening. ASoIaF is...

Let me add a little to that. When you are finished with these four, go here next: Gardens of the Moon Deadhouse Gates Memories of Ice House of Chains Midnight Tides The Bonehunters

Another problem I have with Jordan is the way he basically takes ideas from others, slaps a little gloss on it, and throws it into his story. Lord of the Rings, King Arthur, Dune, etc. Every writer is going to be inspired by the writings of another author, but he blatantly borrows ideas from...

Exactly, all they have done so far is lie, kidnap people, and hurt/kill people. They have done nothing to make us believe they are truly good people. I think they have convinced themselves that they are good and use that to justify their actions. I'm liking Jack this season, he hasn't fallen for...

That drives me nuts. It's amazing how simply crossing a border completely changes everything about a person. If you live on this side of the border you must wear a viel on your face, if you live on the other side you must grow a beard but shave the upper lip. Don't start the series, it will...
