See if you can get hold of an early edition and read that as well. The original version is quite different to the later one. Originally OS Card wrote Enders Game to establish the character of Ender Wiggin for the book he actually wanted to write, Speaker for the Dead.Originally Posted by gnjackal
Just started reading the book based on your rec. Not bad so far!

I dunno, I was never that keen on Firefly but really like Serenity

Starship troopers Invasion is pretty interesting - japanese CGI (better actors than the people, better boobs on the girls
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

It makes Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles look primitive, but Roughnecks still is a good series with good characters and progression of the war.
Shocking though, they always seem to have better equipment except firearms - still takes half a magazine to kill one bug...

I was hot and cold on it too. Didn't really like the western elements but the Captain was great. There's an epsiode where he's threatened by a bad guy he's just beaten, thinks about it for a moment, and pushes him into a turbine. Not a typical goodie.

Was going to call him a pragmatist. Very Han Solo (back when he shot first).

Yeah, but "pragmatical" isn't a word, so I didn't use it...

The trouble for me now is, I want to introduce Star Wars to my kids. So do I show the movies in order from prequels to original trilogy, or original trilogy first and then prequels?
Since the prequels are more eye candy than substance, I'm worried that my kids will find the original trilogy boring compred to the prequels. I don't want to ruin the original trilogy for them, as I feel they're still the best.

Here is where you need to read the most nerdy thing I think I have EVER read on the internet (and I've spent a bit of time on Star Trek fansites.....):
Anyway, the TL;DR is show them in this order: IV, V, II, III, VI
omit I entirely. It adds nothing whatever to the story arc, and contains the suckiest suckfest in the history of suckdom, i.e. Haden Christensen.
