icarusAnd now Lorne has thrown yet another wrench in the works, because he insists on telling Sheppard. Gee, thanks, Lorne. I now no longer have a Sheppard caught off guard, but one that's on the offensive, and pretty pissed at Weir.
Oh. Also, Lorne refused to say one of his better lines because he protects people within his command. Jeeze. Give this man a ship to comman-- oh. Right.
I may take a break from this story to watch Cube.
ETA: I actually I found Cube uplifting. This probably says Very Bad Things about my view of humanity.

Jabberwocky was sort of off-handedly incorporated into a metaphor. It was a "blink and you'll miss it" thing, unless you were familiar with the poem, as I was.

Date: 2006-07-19 10:25 pm (UTC)I haven't read any of the sequels since I was a kid, but I found Half Magic a few years back and loved it just as much. They're clever, cute-but-not-cloying, and have just enough sentiment to keep them from being utterly silly. And you could probably get through them in a day, they're pretty short.

Trying to memorise that thing at ten years old will make any kid hate it for at least a short time.

People like you and people like me shouldn't be allowed near each other. Very Bad Things tend to happen to the world around us.

Date: 2006-07-19 11:08 pm (UTC)Pretty much for exactly this reason.
When I was little: "She'll blow up the house."
When I got a little older, "Heck. She'll blow up the town."
The fear when I got to high school chemistry and they couldn't keep me from the stuff... "There goes the east coast." My father's reply to my mother was, "East coast? What east coast? You mean Arkansas?"
