That would be one depressed proto-cylon.

@Kemper, To be fair, Lev might feel differently if Eoin made Arthur a chick.

@Anon76, I was thinking Marvin as proto-Cylon. Maybe we can get Lev to watch Caprica.

Alternately, we can kick it old school with the ‘take me to your lizard’ robot being a pre-rebellion Cylon.

Going the re-imagination route, Kemper? I was thinking about going the Cylons-as-Vogons/Grebulons route, but then discovered I was too lazy to go through with it. Let us see what Church comes up with.

Oh, and you did know that the theme song is Journey of the Sorcerer by the Eagles?

I’ve been trying to decide if I really wanted to pick up this book, because of my feeling that we didn’t really need another Hitchhiker’s book. But given what you’ve said, I might change my mind.

Oh, so you don’t object to a re-imagining of a sci-fi story in principal?

I guess you have to judge each book on its own merits. The Artemis Fowl books are fantastic, and highly recommended, although when you re-read them you realise that they take a while to get the humour going. Colfer’s The Wish List was good and well-written, but not one that stands out as being particularly special.
