Christopher Tolkien is a flatulating butthead who represents everything that is wrong with extending copyright. He's an awful writer who should be more distraught about the violence he did to the Silmarillion (damn thing is almost unreadable so parchingly arid he made it), than about a real storyteller getting interested enough to try and make the books resonate with a larger slice of this generation and generations to come. Particulary when said storyteller has proven himself beyond all expectation.
In that he is like Brian Herbert, I suppose, a son doing awful things to his father's work, Chris by keeping it from growing, Brian by adding to it.
