the reason RDM didnt like star trek technobabble was because on TNG and DS9 they had guys that made them stick to consistant technobabble.

No, just the first four, which are enjoyable if rather hamfisted at times. The fifth season and everything else B5 related is crap. Luckily the actual story is done at the end of season four, so you're not left hanging or something.

TOOT BOOT posted:what, he thinks taming of the shrew has legitimate points about gender roles? Did you read this bit? quote:Here's the punch line: Old King Hamlet was an inadequate king because he was gay, an evil person because he was gay, and, ultimately, a demonic and ghostly father of lies who convinces young Hamlet to exact imaginary revenge on innocent people. The old king was actually murdered by Horatio, in revenge for molesting him as a young boy—along with Laertes, and Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern, thereby turning all of them gay. We learn that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are now "as fusty and peculiar as an old married couple. I pity the woman who tries to wed her way into that house."

my favorite bit of card lunacy is this interview from 2000. summary: grad student in literature reads ender's game, falls in love with it and its anti-war message, figures the author must be a liberal feminist pacifist like herself. she books an interview with him and doesn't do any checking up on card's background. hilarity ensues.

ender's game is also a hitler apologia and card, ostensibly the author, is unaware of that

i could see spinning it in such a way that enders not responsible, he was manipulated, much like the poor people that join the military at a young age or something plus he saves the arachnoid queen or whatever
