| 34368 | Redwall | Mossflower, along with Redwall and Marin the Warrior are definitely the foundation books of the series. A few like Legend of Luke and Lord Brocktree go back even further. <div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">As far as High Rhulain goes, I wiki'ed it for a refresher and don't really remember too much. Pearls of Lutra seemed similar in that it took place outside of Mossflower for the most part.</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div>Loamhedge was fun, I liked it but I can see what some might think it was a tad offensive. Highlight the text below to see if you don't mind a major spoiler.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#ffffff">In the book the kid in the wheelchair is following clues if I remember correctly. He's paralyzed from the waist down. In the end of the book a voice says GET UP and he miraculously leaps out of his wheelchair. From the beginning the book hinted that he'd somehow find the cure for his paralysis which I guess can be offensive to those in real life with no hope of walking.</font></div> | vkimo | Mar 16, 2017 |  |

It's very suspenseful, especially when there are in his corpse den and you gotta love the creature effects. | echidna64 | Mar 16, 2017 | |

| 34364 | Mystery Science Theater 3000 | Someone actually <a href="https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/03/ranking-every-mst3k-episode-from-worst-to-best.html?p=7">ranked every episode ever</a> of the show, and it's epic.

| 34361 | Redwall | Thanks! The forums are the funnier, most rewarding part of it (when SMF feels like behaving itself, that is :P).<br><br>I think I'm reading Mossflower next, just because of how widely (and, sometimes, wildly ;)) recommended it is, but after that I'm <b>definitely</b> going to read Outcast, based only on your post and experience with it. I'm a sucker for good stories with sad, touching endings, so that's definitely up my alley.<br><br>Now, I have a few questions to ask if that's ok with you.<br><br>First of all... is High Rhulain as bad as they say it is? I mean, I have heard downright terrible things about the main character (going as far as to calling her "the queen of Sues") and the plot in general. It seems a bit unlikely that Mr Jacques would put out something like that -based on what I have read- but I have to take every opinion into account.<br><br>Also, what's so insulting about "Loamhedge"? All I know is that it's a bit harsh towards a certain group of people.<br><br>Thanks, mate!<br><br><b>PS: </b>The forums are full of recipes and dishes which were cooked following instructions from the books. I'd recommend you taking a look at it :)<br><br><br><br> | Silvervix | Mar 16, 2017 | |
| 34360 | Redwall | That's so awesome you're working on the official site Silver!<div><br></div><div>I've read all the Redwall books. It all started quite by chance too, My friends and I both wanted to read this Robin Hood book, but the library only had one. Looking for something to find, I did exactly what a 5th grader would do, started judging books by the covers. The first novel I read was Outcast of Redwall. It was so good and very sad towards the end. I was hooked and read them all over the course of a decade, up until Jacques death. They did get pretty formulaic but I loved the plots and characters. </div><div><br></div><div>You can try reading them in publishing order or chronological order but it won't make that much difference as the books aren't really connected too tightly to each other. They only reference characters at times. In all the series only 2 books seem to be direct sequels. </div><div><br></div><div>My memory of all the different stories fades but Outcast of Redwall, Taggerung and a few others stand out. I did buy the Redwall Cookbook and made a few of the dishes I read about in the books, great fun!</div> | vkimo | Mar 16, 2017 | |
| 34359 | Last Movie You Watched | I recently watched Patriot Games and A Few Good Men.<div><br></div><div>Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise characters in the 90s seem interchangeable in a lot of their movies. Tom Cruise in AFGM WAS Maverick from Top Gun. Harrison Ford in PG WAS Dr. Richard Kimble in The Fugitive. I enjoyed both, Patriot Games for the 90s ambiance and a Few Good Men for the acting.</div><div><br></div><div>3/5 Patriot Games</div><div>3.5/5 A Few Good Men</div> | vkimo | Mar 16, 2017 | |
