cool, didn’t even know there was a movie

Probably. I just finished the first one, and I really want to read more, so I will almost certainly get the second one soon enough, but there are actually eight books if sticking to the hardcovers, so it would definitely be too expensive to get them all at once.

8 books!? eesh! well from what I hear, the comic series is over the top good stuff. I also heard the series strays far away from the books.

What is your take on the first hardcover?

Well, I liked it, and I don’t really know what I can say beyond that. It always kept me interested in what was going on, the build-up was good as I always wanted to see what came next, and it did a good job at being surprising at several points. All in all a great read, and not much more to it than that.

I have heard it has to do more with the high fat diets that people have been eating, not the hormone levels.

One can only hope they stray a wee bit further and kill off Carl in the series instead of having him just lose an eye.

On the other hand: Lori should still die.

naw. Carl seems to have become a rather spunky kid. I would like to see this expand a bit. Lori? yeah, she is annoying.

That kid in the later seasons of Angel wins out in the “KILL THIS CHARACTER NOW” contest.

Who ?

Connor.

Carl is exactly how I imagine my first child to be.

I remember him talking about fats having to do with something. That may have been it.

It was pretty good from what I remember. The plot, at least, was very interesting.

kill Carl and let Glenn live!

This is an odd question, but does anyone know of a term that would describe a kind of non-hierarchical caste system? Like, where the populace would be separated into groups based on what they do, but with no one group being necessarily superior over any other.

Occupational Apartheid?

That’s a therapy thing, apparently.

Furthermore, in the (fictional, world-building sort of) context I’m thinking about here, it will hopefully be justified because the race which uses it has hereditary memory of skills; having an occupational lineage would be preferable because you’d be born knowing how to do something.

It’s interesting to think about, since it would have a pretty distinct effect on the development of their society and culture as a whole, perhaps putting a heavy emphasis on longevity, and a collective desire to build things to last, even if it means putting in a lifetime of effort.

…It’s late, I should get to bed instead of ranting on the internet.

Friend got a strong bonfire going and invited a load of people. What an epic night!

Funny, that’s exactly what I did last night!

Apparently, I didn’t make the cut for Ice Loves Coco.
