Good to know.
I'm really enjoying it so far, but I especially loved the 2001 reference, and the Halo-theme reference. Still haven't spotted the Red vs. Blue Easter Egg yet though.I spotted it. Blarg! Can you tell me about the 2001 and halo theme reference though because I didn't catch them.
Also that has got to be the worst ten minutes of Halseys life near the end. Getting punched by lucy, verbal attacks from Mendez, finding out John and Cortana are MIA (she believes dead), finding out Miranda is dead and getting arrested kinda sucks. At least she found out that Naomi was still alive though.
If you'll recall when Mal and Vaz are passing notes to each other via palm writing, Vaz writes
Vaz: "no more. Lip read please."
Mal: "No, you saw the old movie; BB will space us."
That old movie is 2001, where Hal 9000--the AI--is reading the lips of two of the astronaughts and promptly kills one of them by ejecting him out the airlock.
The Halo theme reference was when Mal mused to himself that, for all he knew, Phillips could've been listening to Gregorian chant on his ear buds.
Still haven't finished the book, plan to do so today.
