I bought Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy to get some idea of how his writing would compare to Jordan's.

:huh: WTF?  I have never expressed an opinion on Sanderson, whose works I have not read.

I think you have confused me with someone else.
Must have been grumbloid, a clone who shows up occasionally to get you in trouble.
PDH!

On a slightly different note, "Unseen Academicals" is out!!!! :w00t:
Discworld????!

Yep! Since he's down to one proper Discworld book a year now from his old standard of two, I can't wait to read it. :)

It's a crying shame about his illness. :cry:

Certainly is.  His is a rare talent.  I'd like more Guards and Moist books.
PDH!

You must have that show confused with ST:Voyager.  :P
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

ST: Enterprise was worse than Voyageer, hard though it is to believe.
PDH!

JMS is an even worse writer than Joss Whedon.  :hug:

Enterprise had a kickass opening sequence. :wub:

edit: The sequence in A Mirror, Darkly was even more badass tho. :pirate

They should have done the Romulan War straight from the get go.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Mirror, Darkly opener was badass.  But the rest of the series was crap, and in the end they needed a TNG tie in because it was too weak to even have a finale on its own.
PDH!

Also, not enough hot chicks.

Which series are you talking about? Anyways they're literary creations, they're as hot as you want them to be.

All three of them, presumably. They were definitely a let-down in that respect compared to sixties sci-fi, or even that of the eighties (STNG first season miniskirts... :wub:)
