The Philisophical Works of a Pseudo Author

Apparently, it's not terribly hard. Seriously, the climax for The Omen Machine was on page 510 of 525. I am left with a hundred questions that need answering; the biggest of which are:

a) So what about Hannis Arc? With his planned foiled did he just give up and slink back into the dark hole he crawled out of? He just gave up on his plans for world domination that easily, really?

b) Did they bury the machine? I mean, it can't be destroyed, so did they just 'concrete over it'? Did it go to sleep again after Hannis stopped using it? And how did he do it in the first place?

leading in to c) Who built it? What about the other half of the book? Are they ever going to retrieve it and figure out the mystery or just leave it in the Temple of the Winds and forget about it?

d) What happened to the leaders that threw their lot in with Hannis? Did they all apologise and come back to Richard? And if not, how does that work, with kingdoms not loyal to D'Hara in the midst of those that are.

I am so confused. I hate being confused after I finish a book.

On grav_ity's scale of book reviewing, I'll give it a 3 out of 10. One point for Cara having a great last line. One point for Mord-Sith in red. And one point for Kahlan being awesome in a fight. The rest of you fail.

( This is cut for repeated rambling. )

In other news, I have posting priviages on the U of L Museum Studies Blog. Now, to make a name for myself!

Isn't it pretty amazing how, with so many inaccuracies according to the books, there were - in fact - so many accuracies?

( Otherwise known as 'The End'  )

On a point of last week's episode: I will be wearing Kahlan's fantastic new dress at my wedding because OMG! I have even forgiven the fact it was not blue.

You know, I think I should go back and re-read Stone of Tears, except then I might burn it.

Edit: I skimmed it. I am entirely non-commital on the parts that have obviously been cut out and the stuff that was added. I say this because, in practice, you cannot break up your Major Love Story in the middle of a season and keep them apart for more than a few episodes before your fan base (who haven't read the books) declare mutany. So, things had to change. I get that. However, I do love the little things they put in as asides that are not explained but make sense if you have read the books. Like Kahlan's new outfit.

The only thing that I am really missing is the Mud People because really. That was mid-book ONE. And they are around Kahlan ALL THROUGH STONE OF TEARS.

But besides that, I'm fine.

I may, inavertantly and against my will, be writing Peter/Olivia fic in my head.

P.S. This will be my last Fringe related post until Thursday. You're all thrilled, I can tell.

So, they are doing the rest of the plot of Stone of Tears. Oh good, because the Sisters of the Light were just the people I was missing.

Take a sledgehammer to that sarcasm, please.

Alright, so they did make it brother. I can live with that. It's going to end up the same place anyways.

I just read an awesome letter that Goodkind wrote to the fans back last year when the whole TV series thing was definite. Even he says, accept the show for what it is and the books for what they are. I'm so okay with that. Because book!Richard is not this stupid.

( Next time Kahlan, slap him harder. Mostly because I'd love to see what he'd do. )

Just finished The Pillars of Creation again.

Well, that story didn't end at all how I remember. I wonder if I've got WFR confused too? If so, hey, I don't know what's coming!
