I recently read Dogs of War with a book club and loved it. Unfortunately, several people had trouble finding a copy and were unable to participate. I expect availability will continue to limit the number of people who get into this series.

MTG's Final Fantasy Commander Decks revealed Magic: The Gathering's new Final Fantasy Commander Decks have been revealed, and it turns out they'll all focus on a different game.

I liked Caprica, but it tracks that it was initially intended to be its own show. There were BSG fans who tried it and bounced off and I'm sure there were people who didn't enjoy BSG who would have liked it, but never gave it a chance.

I wondered why PG Tips had adopted a new, much worse, tea bag. Now I know. I'm sure changing their design to a lesser version of every other brand will significantly increase their market share.
