Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Written in 2002 by Christopher Moore, Lamb was a book I picked up entirely based on the title and have read at least three times a year ever since. Distilled to its essence the book can be described as "take the New Testament, add crack, stir."

Spotlight on Fandoms: Enterprise

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Star Trek: Enterprise ran for only four seasons, just a little bit longer than the original series but three seasons less than all the other incarnations of Trek. I'll admit up front that like a lot of Trek fans, I quit watching it because it was bad. The show was loaded down with lots of eye candy but seriously lacking in good writing. Facing cancellation, the show made some drastic changes with a season-long arc in its third season and went on for a fourth season that was awesome, but just wasn't enough to survive cancellation the second time.

Enterprise (or ENT) is about the voyages of Earth's first ship capable of reaching Warp Five. It's been about a century since Star Trek: First Contact, and a century before the adventures of Kirk and Spock. The transporter hasn't been perfected, the universal translator doesn't really work, and the beginning of the United Federation of Planets is still a decade away.

As you can tell, I'm really pretty opinionated about my fandom and there's a lot more that I can talk about, so feel free to ask me any questions!
