Glad to hear you are going to read Man in the High Castle, Matt! I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
I was thinking “modern day Divine Comedy” as soon as Ben described the Kanye West videogame, also. I’m sure it’ll go down in history as a worthy companion to Dante’s classic. Ben, are you going to lead a devotional play along?
Speaking of The Divine Comedy, when is the next video for the read along going up?
On a more serious note, I’m still dealing with the news that Leonard Nimoy is new longer with us. Spock was my favorite sf character growing up and I think he had a huge impact around the globe. I think he is remarkable for a mass media character in that he is primarily known for his strong moral center over everything else, but he wasn’t a prig or a dullard. I know this ep was taped too late to acknowledge Mr Nimoy’s death, but I hope to hear a shout-out next time.
On a sillier note, I’d love to hear a clip Nimoy’s “Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” at the beginning of the next “What the Frodo” news. I’m not claiming it’s a great song, but it shows off Nimoy’s playful side and even my Tolkien-fan wife thanks “it’s precious,” and she “doesn’t mean that ironically.”
It’s up now on our YouTube page. Look for new Dante videos every Friday during Lent and every Sunday during Easter
