New reason I love Warren Ellis and his newsletter "Bad Signal," which I certainly recommend as far as newsletters go:
<tt><tt>"I sat down in front of a bit of an episode of a Star Trek
thing the other day, and in those zoned-out ten minutes,
two things occurred to me:
Why did no-one stick warp engines on huge fucking
missiles and just fire them at Earth? Seriously,
what're you going to do when two thousand missiles
the size of asteroids pop out of warp two hundred
feet overhead? Nothing.
And why do you never hear this? "Lock on to the
roof of those bastards' bridge and beam it into
cargo bay one. Let's see the ridge-headed fuckers
chew vacuum for a while." Or even "lock onto
their warp core and beam it into space." Or even
"lock on to the opposing ship's captain and beam
him directly into his weapons officer's boots. Keep
the screen on, I want to see the shitbags go splat."
Nice...so after hearing so much about World War Z...I acquired the audio book....It was awesome IMO. After listening to it I realize why reading it probably sucks. The voice actors made that shit, Rollins was sick but the Asian dude and Army dude were awesome. If you haven't read it in a while, try the audiobook it's really well done...I believe it's actually won some awards...

the audio book format of world war z is the only way to go. you just don't get the full experience just reading it. glad you finally checked it out.
