@bookstodon My #review of #TheThickandTheLean by #ChanaPorter is now live! Another read that left me thinking for a long time after. I wish some things about it had been different, but overall, it's great.

This has been the year of finally reading gigantic #speculativefiction series/authors I'd ignored for years and then realizing what a terrible decision that was. Now I'm delightfully drowning in CJ Cherryh's /Foreigner/ and Steven Brust's /Vlad Taltos/ amid a Vorkosigan Saga reread, and it's overwhelming but pretty dang fun! #sciencefiction #cjcherryh #stevenbrust #vladtaltos #vorkosigan #vorkosigansaga #loismcmasterbujold #bookstodon @bookstodon

I can't believe I slept on #TheOrville as long as I did. I guess I was put off by the fact that MacFarlane is the #FamilyGuy guy. A Star Trek parody rooted in that style of humor did not appeal.

Imagine my surprise to learn that it's not a Star Trek parody. And it's not Family Guy-esque. At all.

It's just... well, it's not Start Trek. But it's like getting to watch a Star Trek unburdened by canon. MacFarlane has crafted a very fine love letter to Roddenberry here.
