In Response To: Re: Consider Phlebas (eva05) > Nope. That was unit 04 in Nevada. Damn. > One in the same when your religion drives you to either kill or > enslave everyone who isn't like you. But it isn't the same. It's obvious there are moderate and even almost sympathetic Iridians. Some Arabs may consider America the White Devil to be destroyed at all costs... but that doesn't automatically make them murderous. ^_^ > You must've hated the director's cut of Blade Runner then huh? I > generally like almost anything with a more bitter or at least > ambigious ending. Stories where everything is neatly resolved > and over explained tend to to piss me off. No, I didn't mind that. Because the ending actually makes the events of the story more important than otherwise (much like Usual Suspects). Again, I don't have anything against dark endings, ambigious endings, bitter endings, or whatever... my problem is with stories which have endings which nullify the value of the proceeding events. > hmmm how about this.... > The relationship between the Covenant and the terrans can also > be related to the Green Eggs and Ham where Sam I Am(terrans) > manipulates the older protag(the Covenant) into seeing that > things that are different aren't so bad.

But you still used the psuedo-English course phrase "can also be related to". For future improvement, think along the lines "The Covenant is like Sam because... and because... and because...." or "Me likes Halo." ;)
