The debates about and reactions to the finale serve as ample witness. This is the wonder of great and provocative art, no? BSG as a whole will be a work that people talk about for quite some time, and I do think it significantly upped the ante at least for SF on television, maybe even film (i.e., trailers for the upcoming Start Trek prequel reveal a gritty, realistic feel).<BR/><BR/>I must admit to not having read any Meyers, but her novels (the most recent one especially) do seem to polarize readers. Perhaps another good example would be the Harry Potter series, a publishing phenomenon we may not see again for a while.<BR/><BR/>I discovered your blog through the Books Blogs section of Blog Catalog and enjoyed poking around the resources and posts you've collected. (That's a great collection of links, by the way.) And I'm all for solidarity among SF&F writers! :-)Mike Johnstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428761379918258628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483805127569817547.post-90444534332489682292009-03-26T15:07:00.000-04:002009-03-26T15:07:00.000-04:00I lost track of the series during the second seaso...I lost track of the series during the second season due to my work schedule; but it's nice to see your summation. The sense of ownership in a story that viewers or readers get can be quite powerful! Poor Stephanie Meyers is a recent example in the book world. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for linking to me! I feel very honored, you've placed my blog in such excellent company!writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.com
