RIP...
Haha! That seals it, we have nothing in common!
I thought Sphere was just amazing, and thought Jurassic Park was meh. Sphere was much deeper, and philosophical. Did you mean the books or the movies, because I am talking about the books.
Did anybody else notice that mathematicians were always very highly regarded in his books?
RIP sir. You have greatly entertained me over the years, and I thank you for it.
The Jurassic books were much better than the movies. The sequals anyway...
I'm the saddest about ER. Ive been watching from the pilot and don't want to see it go...
I guess he died with his show..

ER is sick, agreed. A lot of things about ER I fucking loved, but I really felt like the last two seasons were absolute GARBAGE!! hah In an attempt to "romance" the show (a la Grey's Anatomy) they turned it into shit...

agreed.
I enjoyed Sphere. Andromeda Strain was probably my favourite though. His attention to detail and the research that went into his writing were incredible.
