Try to catch something with a speed difference of 8000 meters per second and you'd be lucky if it just disintegrates your grabbing arm.

Kranerian Link ParentI really hope that them being able to pull Moranis out of retirement is a good sign for the quality of the script. I feel like he wouldn't bother after all this time if it weren't good.I really hope that them being able to pull Moranis out of retirement is a good sign for the quality of the script.

Various characters were combined or shuffled around, some events either happened differently or not at all, and of course the books have more time to get into details about everything. The biggest difference though is that the show only covers the first two thirds of the series, and the last three are a big change to the story. Definitely still worth reading.

Some people love it and some despise it and there seems to be very little in between. Might be worth looking into that a bit before diving in.
I've only ever read the first book and so can't speak to the later ones, but my opinion of that was it was an ok run-of-the-mill fantasy book right up until the BDSM torture cult arc near the end. I was weirded out enough to not continue, and that was before I had heard anything else about the series.

I have had a rotating gallery for years that I add and remove pictures from as I feel like. It's got a lot of space pictures, sci-fi ships, animals, and generally silly nerdy stuff.
