This is the perfect example of why suffering any form of brain trauma is a bad plan. Once upon a time, I could almost keep up with this series. Now... I can sometimes almost remember what keeping up with this was like. When I was able to keep up, it was awesome. It's still awesome from a layman's perspective, but I have to spend ages running the numbers now, instead of, "This makes sense," And just know I'm good to go.

Grr. Yay. And more yay, since I actually sat down to re-read some and more or less kept up without having my brain squirm.
