One of my favorite books of all time, science fiction, and about as sensitive and positive a portrayal of religion as I've ever read.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976868079076669453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-19082594209141930512013-05-21T03:29:32.566-07:002013-05-21T03:29:32.566-07:00Huh, I hadn't thought of that.

But now that I think about it, that kind of simplistic anthropological thinking has always been a stock-in-trade of Star Trek: for example, the original series episode where an entire society models itself on Chicago mobsters after an errant Starfleet officer leaves behind a book on the subject.<br /><br />The only thing that really annoyed me about the film was the way the writers (mis)used the character of Carol Marcus, who seemed to be present solely to frivolously strip down to her underwear for a few seconds for no apparent reason.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785536166985273625noreply@blogger.com
