The Incredibles

Months after everyone else did, I finally got around to watching The Incredibles. As I recall from the unspoilery posts, honorh loved it, londonkds enjoyed it but was troubled by the ideological subtext, and buffyannotater flat-out hated it. I'm with KdS on that one. There was much about The Incredibles I enjoyed, it made me laugh, and frequently I felt charmed, but I also had to constantly shut up that portion of my brain responsible for long-term analysis.

Update on the rewritten Darkover news

After some of you told me that you had not discovered any changes in recent editions of the Darkover novels, contrary to what the German editor of same had claimed was going on, I asked my source at Droemer & Knaur again, this time requesting specific details. Here is his written reply:

"It started with The Bloody Sun; we even have seperate contracts for Bloody Sun and Bloody Sun - Rewrite. This novel has definitely already been published in the US with the changes - as I said, some names and the gender of some characters are switched, not storylines. We were told that it is planned to do the same for the novels which use Bloody Sun as a background - Forbidden Tower etc..."

_knots, muffinmonster, other Darkover fans? It seems it really happened. Darkover rewritten and censored. Zandru's hell.
