    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 21 14:06:07 2024
    2006! New Horizons began its long journey to Pluto, the United Nations
    Human Rights Council's formation signals the permanent end to all human
    rights violations, and Canada's Stephen Harper forms a minority government,
    in what is surely his only term before Canadians come back to their
    senses.

    Which 2006 Nebula Finalist Script's Film Have You Seen?

    Serenity by Joss Whedon
    Battlestar Galactica: "Act of Contrition"/"You Can't Go Home Again"

    Both of them. Alas. Serenity is eminently missable but to critique
    it I had to see it. I'd like to remind people I was right about
    Whedon.

    I missed the Haldeman and Ryman. No Favorites among the rest though
    Pratchett is always at least good.

    None of the shorter works or films.

    commentary frequently for future years)
