I'm cool on it so far, love the art and how the story was told. I really like how Kyra and Caleb's history was told in a speechless four panel strip, captures the feeling of their friendship without actually using any extended text.

I made my thoughts on the UED apparent, I don't think that they blew it that early, especially since talking to a lot of other people a ton of fans don't know anything about the UED. Meanwhile it's the extent to which they're in bed with the UED and what connections they have and how high up it goes that remains tantalizing to a lot of us older fans.

It's funny I thought the big intrigue would be the protoss on the ship and whether this would be an Ulrezaj plot or not. From the looks of it, likely not. Still would like to see where the protoss part is going.

The Nova novel explained a lot with the farming thing, that when you're stuck on a world not connected to any of the conflict it's easy to just bury your nose in the dirt and ignore it. Now with the extent of the wars of the past decade it's a bit silly, but they've never really nailed down the size of the terran worlds and if it's possible for one to go through the conflict unscathed. But for some dumb kid just hearing about these wars and never seeing them I could see trying to strike up a conversation trying to find out if these space travelers had ever seen them.

Man I was hoping they'd do a Stukov mission pack building up the UED aspect and doing a Dark Origin thing to lay the groundwork for SCIII, but hopefully this at least puts the UED back into some sort of focus. Then again, I fully admit a massive bias.
