Caught up on the last few episodes of Foundation. Still undecided on what exactly to make of it.They ended episode two on what looked like an important cliffhanger.. then the next two episodes have time jumps and nothing related to it, only to then pick it up again in episode five. Which makes it a little disconcerting as a viewer, but I guess it also adds to the whole "time is a character" concept the screenwriters and producers were throwing around.

The trouble I have is that I can finish a 300 page novel in 3 and a bit hours. That's my natural reading speed, not trying to push it or actually read fast. Having a thick series like the Wheel of Time can be broken down into a few weekends worth of solid reading. It's always amazed me when my friends talk about spending the better part of a month to read a book I finish in an evening. I find it really hard to grok that it takes time for a lot of people to read.

For the so 80's music I can't believe it.. and Peter Cushings final appearance on film before his death.

And just for @Amentep in case he hasn't discovered the visual joys of the tweeter: Seriously, if you guys like the art and designs in sci-fi films, that twitter focuses on it and the concept art that created it. Lots of pretty pictures and some occasional interesting background behind it all.
