I really think it was hard to start with :< Speaker for the Dead focuses on very different material than Ender's Game. First, consider Ender's past, and how he has helped shape humanity's stance toward aliens. Second, consider the discovery of new intelligent life, and how that relates to the first point. Third, consider that aliens are alien. This is briefly touched upon in Ender's Game, but it is brilliantly depicted in Speaker for the Dead. That, in a nutshell, is the real meat of the story. | ||

When we declare an alien species to be ramen, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have. 0 Demosthenes That actually sums up a lot of what Speaker for the Dead/Xenocide are about. Children of the Mind is the ending to it all essentially. Sums up what happens to everyone and where they go from there, at least everyone still alive (tehehehe). | ||

Yeah I really enjoyed his comments on the film. Really glad to hear that he was working so hard on bringing Ender from the book to life. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + That trailer was pretty much all the last third or so of the book, do they really think battle school is that uninteresting? I'm suddenly pretty anxious. | ||

I love your shit man, watching your videos wants me to play Starcraft again. I have a pencil case that says 'brofestor hit squad' on it. Dude, seriously PM me and I'll add you on steam | ||

I'm just having a lot of trouble buying into the, "we need a 13 year old to save the world! You're mankind's last hope!" That second trailer looks pretty decent. I can't say how well they will adapt it from the book being only pg13. I will definitely see it and then decide how well they did. Go read the book though before the movie gives you your first taste, you won't be disappointed and you won't have trouble buying into it. | ||
