JMS totally stole the Shadows from the evil aliens' spiderlike, subtly shifting starships in Legion. Which also has a shiny white hero ship called the Purple Star. Ahem. (Oh, right, you probably haven't reached Season 3+ yet.)
Have never read The Trilogy, though I've heard of the author. I suspect his portrait of the Chmielnicki massacres (as I know them) would determine how much of a shot I'd give the books. But does this mean I can publish a short story called "The Short Story", expand it into a book called The Fix-Up, and finally expand it into a long-running series called The Long-Running Series?
I actually saw Incident at Blood Pass a few months ago; was all right, though nowhere near Yojimbo's league. Which is true of at least two other Yojimbo sequels, Sanjuro and Zatoichi to Yojimbo, though at least the latter's got Zatoichi.
