Gratuitous Violence: Winners and Losers in The Sci Fi Catholic's Web Battles!

Three times now, Lucky, Snuffles, and I have argued and debated vehemently over battles that could decide the very fate of the universe. Three times now, we have turned the future of humanity over to our readers for a vote. Three times now, I have forgotten to post the results.

But that ends today.

Fear, mortals, as these titans, these heroes of old, these men of renown who, like the Nephilim who keep showing up in campy Christian sf novels, sometimes with laser eyes (because everyone likes Nephilim with laser eyes), crush and smash one another in heroic, manly bloodshed after the fashion of the paladins of Charlemagne! Especially Bradamante, the girl paladin. Everybody likes a girl paladin. Rogero so totally didn't deserve her.

Where was I? Yes--we have RESULTS from our THREE EPIC BATTLES. The polls are now closed and you, the readers, have decided who would live and who would die. I hope you feel good about yourselves, you cold-hearted scum.

D.G.D.: McKee has with this book established himself as the master of all things science fiction + religion. If you have an interest in the admittedly narrow subject, you read this book. It is an easy and entertaining read that shows an awesome breadth of knowledge of sf. But just for the record, I disagree with his interpretation of At the Mountains of Madness; the Great Old Ones were not monstrous evil gods, but great men, even supermen. They appear monstrous and evil to the average reader because the average reader has a healthier view of things than Lovecraft did.

D.G.D.: This is so far a depressing steampunkish work depicting an alternate Wild West in a world where the land westward is not just unexplored but literally half-made or unmade (though it's not clear yet who's making it or how it gets made) and locked in a potentially endless war between the human pawns of demon-possessed six-shooters and demon-possessed choo-choo trains. That sounds awesome, but the book is so far proving humorless, grim, vulgar, and a little snide: A little too much modern fantasy and not enough old-fashioned hayburner.

D.G.D.: William Hope Hodgson's classic is both as good and as bad as they say, a story of love in a far-flung future when the sun and all the stars have gone black and strange soul-devouring monsters have risen out of the darkness to await the day when man's last defenses fail and night reigns supreme, in which a young man braves the Night Land to rescue his reincarnated beloved, whom he has sought in vain across countless lifetimes. It contains brilliant flights of imagination, but is written in an obnoxious style and has no characterization to speak of. A must for fans of sf, but not always a pleasant read.

Snuffles: Recently finished all eleven episodes of Usagi Drop, based on the popular manga published in English as Bunny Drop. The show is currently available, as far as I know, only on Crunchy Roll. A quiet, meditative series about thirty-year-old bachelor Daikichi who unexpectedly finds himself taking care of his late grandfather's six-year-old illegitimate daughter, Rin, it's gentle and heartwarming. Also mixes in elements of romance with a single mom, who is mother of Rin's best friend. So if Rin is Daikichi's aunt, and if she grew up and married Koki, and if Daikichi married Koki's mom . . . yes, I think that would work: Daikichi could be HIS OWN GRANDPA! Everybody sing . . .
