“The Human Division”, Done

Over the weekend I finished John Scalzi’s The Human Division in its serial form. In general I enjoyed it, although my complaints about it being quite talky still hold. Actually my biggest complaint is that Amazon couldn’t collapse my one click purchases, so my credit card statement is littered with a lot of noise. There were also quite a few loose threads.

If there’s one standout episode for me, it was This Must Be The Place. For some reason I really empathized with Hart Schmidt even though my family situation in no way resembled his. Maybe I’m misremembering the prior three Old Man’s War books, but there seems to be a much higher level of character development.
