Fellis posted:Yep. Later on in the series they find a supercomputer in a bunker left over from the original colonists, and it proposes riding the dragons into space to kill the thread at the source Holy poo poo I'd totally forgotten about those loving books. They were lurking somewhere deep in my subconscious, to the point where I knew the name Anne McCaffrey but couldn't have said anything about her work other than "dragons". But now that you've mentioned this it's all started coming back. Christ what were my parents thinking, giving me those books to read when I was like 9.

It's an odd feeling when you can look back and suddenly realize that yup, yeah that's where it all went wrong.

My mom had a few Pern books laying around and one time when I was 8 I spent a whole home sick from school day reading the one that's just about the first colonists establishing themselves on the planet and it seemed really wonderful grounded science fiction up till the end when the dragons are introduced.

Literally my experience. It felt like StarCraft a tiny bit, with a modular colony setting down and figuring out this weird planet. Then the dragons were like, eh, ok, but let's find out more bout this weird alien threat! Or just keep feeding rocks to dragons and loving... That's an option...

Kuros posted:Why do the gay dragon riders also have to be evil? In Pern blue and green dragons aren't evil, they are just small and weak compared to bronze dragons, so they have no chance of ever winning the competition to mate with a gold queen. Being a gold dragon rider kind of sucks. There are very few gold (fertile female) dragons compared to the number of bronze (male fertile) dragons. So in mating season all the bronze dragons chase the gold queen competing to mate with her. The rider of whichever bronze dragon mates with your gold dragon is your husband now. You will be compelled to gently caress him whenever your dragons do it. And IIRC only golds are have female riders? So if you're a girl that's your only chance at being a dragon rider. Classic children's fiction. Good message.

She was born in 1926, so she was probably just old.
