I'll have to spin it up again and see if I can finish it.              Finished it a few minutes ago. I only had 30 minutes to go from last time.       Everything wraps up pretty fast: the big reveal (the lie), Ender's reaction, a       bit too-long scene with one of the Formics, (the extended scenes with Shelob,       the spider in Lord of the Rings was much more interesting) and then a sudden       cut to the future with Ender apparently commanding his own ship with "the       precious cargo" ..and no more details how he accomplished that. Now I *have*       to dig through the pages of the book to get the complete picture.              --- tg2fido gate v0.6.1        * Origin: Telegram to fido gate by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
