Really clever sci-fi story. It's a semi-thriller about a pair of tech companies racing each other to change the world with enhanced humans. The story is told in the form of a documentary after the race is over. The conceit works well and nicely hides...more

First work of Jonathan Hickman's that I wasn't totally in love with. It's not bad, it has some very interesting ideas, but the execution never quite grabbed me and absorbed me the way The Nightly News, Manhattan Projects, or Fantastic Four have done.

Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore

Not Moore's best work, but pretty good. Like the artists with their muses, the story feels a little too in love with its ideas at points, but when he gets past that, Moore puts together a humorous, satisfying dark fable.

Good roundup of the AV Club reviews for BB seasons 1-3, plus a couple of interviews. Cheap enough to be worth having them all in one place.

“I don’t know what’s worse, your stupidity or your low opinion of me.”
Blake M. Petit, Other People's Heroes

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
