possible spoilers for “Clone Wars” TV series

The last two episodes of “Clone Wars” have been down right creepy. The season on a whole has been very strong but these last episodes with Ventress and the Nightsisters and Maul’s ‘resurrection’ have been top notch. The series has a whole has improved greatly since the beginning.

I was worried when I saw the previews that it would prove to be an ill-conceived premise. But I thought they were well done. My only problem with it but at the same time an interesting question- what happens in the bowels of those buildings? Or maybe Maul’s corpse went out with the trash? Either way it suggests to me colonies of not quite functioning correctly discarded droids.

I thought the same thing, about Maul’s survival. I hope next season fills in this gaps. I wonder what Sidious thinks of Maul’s survival? And will Dukoo and Maul have a showdown?

I finally read Isaac Asimov’s book The Caves of Steel. It was a pretty decent read and it was the first that I read by him. When I finish my Bourne Betrayal book I was thinking of reading another Asimov book called The Naked Sun. I am also struggling to get through Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. Maybe I will tackle that when I am done with my Bourne book. Decisions decisions.

My best are Dune 1 and 2 from Frank Herbert.
I would add Brave new World from Aldous Uxley.
Then, there is all the work of H.P. Lovecraft!
From the call of cthulhu to The Dream Quest of Unknow Kadath.

I read the Star Wars Darth Plagueis Novel.

@ABWorsham:

I read the Star Wars Darth Plagueis Novel.

How was it ABWorsham?, a good read to recomend?

I enjoyed the read, some of the reviews were not kind, however I really enjoyed it. The story covers many years and mentions in some way six different Sith Lords.

Just last night I finished The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - the first book I’ve finished in a year (did start Don Quixote last November and had to put it down for work/study priority).  It was a refreshing a quick read - hope to complete the rest soon, more than likely the end of the year.

I was on holiday without a book, so my wife said to read hers:The Shining Girls. I did enjoy it. It is a murder thriller, but with a scifi twist. Well worth a read.
I am afraid I cannot remember the author.

Star wars Darth Bane, just the first one. Baddass read

Also i loved the entire Dark Lord trilogy (Labyrinth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith, Rise of Darth Vader) By Matt Stover and James Luceno
A really amazing series that details the real story of Star Wars.
Probably the most well written of any novels in the star wars universe.

@ABWorsham:

I read the Star Wars Darth Plagueis Novel.

This is a good one aswell, gives you much insight into Darth Sidious who is basically the culmination of 1000 years of Sith growth that started with Darth Bane

@Bardoly:

Well, I read right through all 5 books of the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series in about 4-5 days.  They’re quite an enjoyable read.  I also just discovered that Mr. Riordan is in the process of writing a sequel series and is already up to book 4, so now I just need to save up some funds to buy them (or at least find them at a local library).

My sons loved the series.

Star Wars isn’t Science Fiction. In general, its given the genre a bad name.
