S&L Podcast - #186 - The Name of the Wind is Dave

[Veronica, Supreme Sword]

Almost every book is becoming a TV show or movie. Also we tell you how to be a part of a living creation of Alice in Wonderland and we kick off Patrick Rothfuss’s Name of the Wind.

Good podcast again guys!
I agree with what you were saying about the Marty Stu question. You have to let a hero be heroic; that's what this type of story is about.

[Jack]

WOW you're a fast listener!!

I thought the Outlander tv pilot was tamer than the book with that first encounter with the British soldier. It's free on Comcast on demand as well.

They have to reprint those books with a bigger font. It's like reading microfiche.

Tom, looks like the OC meetup is going to be on Monday 18th starting about 6:30 pm.

I finally figured out how to listen to these in my car. My commute is going to be so much better now.

[Ruth (tilltab) Ashworth]

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy the before and after show bits on the video? I think I might like them even better than the show! Always a giggle. :D

[Jack]

Another great show!

Oh, I did want to point out that Defiance in it's second season has really stepped it up and become something awesome. The reason I bring that up is because sexual themes are just as prevalent in that as they are in Game of Thrones, sometimes more so, and it works better than I would have ever imagined going in. But they also take a full season to ease people into the dark and Game of Thrones-esque story telling of the second season.

SyFy has a weird fan base. Look what happened to SGU because it was about 15% more "sexy" than SG1 or SGA. I think you guys are right. It took someone else to bring people to the SF genre before SyFy could really risk it.

Hooray! I made the podcast! I reward myself with an Oreo cookie.

I believe the info was sent to Josh to post an event, but just incase -

Monday 8/18, 6:30 pm, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 791 S Main St #100, Anaheim, CA 92868.

That's right off the 5 freeway if you are coming down from LA. Or, if you coming down the 405, take it to the 22 and then across to where it meets the 5. Right across the street from the Main Place mall.

[Tom, Supreme Laser]

Thanks!! I'm going to do my best to be there.
