Really? I'm curious, why? To be fair I haven't tried the remastered ones...but I grew up with TNG and even then ToS just looked cheesy to me...and it's only gotten worse as things have progressed. I don't have the nostalgia factor to fall back on...apart from TMP and WoK I don't think I'd even seen...

I meant to mention that the end of GoTM gives us our first indication that Erikson struggles with the difference between "flail" and "flay."

Maybe it was his editor.

I don't play MMORPG's for that exact reason.
Anything open-ended is a death-trap for me. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I never assumed we were.
But then again...your enemy is never evil in his own eyes.
Everybody thinks they're the good guys. And from somebodies perspective, nobody is.

Well, it might take him as long to find it as for you to read DHG. :D (I know that look...mine is split between reading 24x7 and gaming 24x7 so I have it twice as bad. ;) ) Anyway, I'm a few chapters in...won't say much...met Kimloc, (I do love the Gral impersonation) and we learn a little about Kal...
