It makes sense I was getting the books and movies confused; like I said I haven't read the books in a while (or seen the movies for that matter); and, as far as I recall, the explanation is pretty quick in the book so I was probably back filling in details from somewhere else.

In an odd kind of way, I think CXG wears it's depth so openly that it's practically a surface feature. Not quite at the squee level, but you don't exactly have to dig. On the other hand I know that I for one find some of its topics so heavy and presented so frankly that I find it hard to talk about or go back to.
