    <body><![CDATA[&gt;&gt; In the end, surprisingly little theological content.  Poor pacing and characterization, but ambitious in scope.  You could see it as a building given a great design, but built poorly.  I appreciate their intent enough to outweigh my boredom, but just barely.<br/><br/><br/>&gt; Ambitious in scope, looking at an encounter between humans and a new alien species that has combined organic and high technologic fields, e.g.: a spaceship whose autopilot program can be edited by sqeezing out a tube of paste and writing in it.  Very interesting ideas, though the human characters seem a bit stilted, dated.]]></body>
