Attack of the sneaky marketer!

Quote:
Jim Butcher is one of the biggest names in urban fantasy. This is no surprise to anyone who’s been following his career. Butcher’s Harry Dresden books are amazingly, consistently, outstanding (to my admiration and envy). Skin Game has flickers of hope for Harry to come; amidst all the double-dealing and mayhem, the disasters and near-brushes with death, Harry and former police officer and ally Karin finally have a conversation about their feelings for each other. There’s so much to enjoy in this full-tilt adventure that I’m not even going to attempt to summarize the plot.

And to think I didn't even know who Jim Butcher is when I first picked up a Dresden file book at the library! In my defense, I wasn't that much of a fan of fantasy reads. But now I stand converted!!

The man in the back said "Everyone attack!" and it turned into a Star Trek blitz!

LeVar Burton hasn't aged much, until comparing VS early TNG.

Patrick Stuart doesn't look a day older.

Marina Sirtis, looking much the same except under eye wrinkles.

Jonathan Frakes, OMG, when did he get so old? Could be the contrast that makes Burton look better preserved?

I think William Shatner just froze like that about 20 years ago. (Same freezing process as Stuart?)

Brent Spiner, with that hair, looks like he could audition for a part as a cotton swab, or some creepy next door neighbor ;-) An eyelid tuck and hair dye would wipe out the passage of time.

Can't tell the effects of the years on Gates McFadden, small image, mouth wide open and the same dark eye shadow she wore on the show. 'Course she did look a bit older than her real age back then with her not so soft face and the makeup that emphasized those features.

Man in the back and the sliver of the guy on the right? No idea.

Nope, it isn't him. Dorn can be seen on the right, well at least part of his glasses... I was taken at comic con and the guy in the back was just staff. Long live Google...
