The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Rolling With It”
“Rolling With It” is a throwback episode. It’s so much like a Magnus Archives episode on purpose. You can easily draw parallels to so many other statements in delivery and pacing.

Friday Fiction: Forgotten Labs – Part 1
Hello, dear reader. Today, we have something a little more serious than our last two-parter.
Marvel Rising: Battle of the Bands Is A Fun Distraction
Battle of the Bands is basically a standard cartoon episode. After the main antagonist left the planet in Heart of Iron, I suspected things would turn out like this. And, frankly, this is better. I like it a lot more.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Running on Empty”
“Running On Empty” was different from the beginning. I’d grown used to the usual pattern. We check in on Sam and Alice, and then we cut to a spooky story. But this time, we go right into things with yet another new story template.
Friday Fiction: A Roommate Solution – Part 2
Last time, we talked briefly about how some science fiction stories are just normal stories with a different coat of paint. And, just like last time, that statement has no bearing on the story presented.
Marvel Rising: Heart Of Iron Is Sort Of Okay
Heart of Iron partially reverses the downward slide after the abysmal Chasing Ghosts. It’s not as good as Initiation, but at least the plot setups actually go somewhere. It doesn’t feel like scenes are wasting the viewer’s time.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Give and Take”
“Give and Take” is the most aggressive theory-baiting episode I think I’ve ever heard from this franchise. Maybe back in Archives, there was a dialogue passage that was purely meant to get the mind going, but I doubt it was this blatant.
Friday Fiction: A Roommate Solution – Part 1
Have you ever noticed that some sci-fi stories are basically regular dramas or comedies but with a technological coat of paint? That’s interesting, isn’t it?
The Marvels: A Blandly Fun Little Movie
I don’t know what to make of The Marvels. Oh, I watched it. I enjoyed it. And I even laughed at the scenes where I was supposed to laugh. But I can tell—even as my memory still holds—that this is a forgettable movie.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Introductions”
“Introductions” is so aptly named and so appreciated. I was waiting, waiting, waiting for something like this to happen. The Magnus Protocol gave us a solid core villain to enjoy.
Friday Fiction: Necessary For Organic Life
This story is bleak, dear reader. In it, the world is ending. Most people haven’t survived—and it’s all because of one change. One pivotal alteration to our world caused everything to fall apart.
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts Is So Much Worse
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts is terrible. I don’t like being this negative, but wow, is this the worst of the Marvel Rising projects I’ve watched. As a follow-up to Initiation, it’s just baffling how poorly everything was handled.
