I ALMOST stopped reading when the "death planet" made it's appearance... and then, a second "death planet" had to be built.... but I soldiered
on, despite the similarities to Star Wars... but George Lucas himself got a lot of inspiration from people such as Erick Von Danniken (sp?) and
Zechariah Sitchin, and olden "myths" from ancient times. It's quite obvious in the intro to Star Wars that the story he presented was not a
"futuristic" tale, but rather one that tries to explain our origins in a very unorthodox way. I think that phrase that starts out every movie is
maybe a clue to what George Lucas avoided emphasizing TOO much, maybe to avoid ridicule, maybe to avoid revealing too much... I dunno.
Anyway, I read all of Terra I and am going to read Terra II later, after I sleep. I don't read particularly rapidly. I like to soak it all in and
think about each word.
My opinion definitely changed after I was compelled to click on the second part of Terra I. I'm not saying I take this as gospel, but I feel
obligated now to at least keep it in mind.
Anyone who reads it should do exactly that. At least keep it in mind until you have 100% evidence of absence. Until then, your comments will be
reguarded as ignorant in the purest sense of the word. You are IGNORING potential information, and you are IGNORING the intended message, in favor of
ridicule and argumentative behaviour. You will not learn ANYTHING unless you can admit that you could be wrong about EVERYTHING.
I could be wrong about everything, too. That doesn't give anyone the right to browbeat me into submitting into their narrow view of thing just
because it is acceptable.
You don't have to be a crusader for knowledge, and you definitely should not be the knowledge police, either.
Let it be.
On a final note, I really enjoyed the read. It entertained me for a while, and that's hard to do.
