Do you like synergy? Do you like a deck where each and every card works well with every other card? Well, this is the deck. Literally months in the making, I have been tinkering with this land-based, Standard Bof1 deck that gets to play cards you’ve probably never thought could be this effective.
“Saved Copy” is a setup episode. It’s clearly about one plot point, and plants ideas for that plot point—and that’s the whole point of it. There are barely any asides that don’t deal with the concept.
We return to our supernatural tale, dear reader.
Now that our main character has finished talking to a ghost about the ghost’s troubles, there’s more to do.
“Falling Bodies” is an outlier, so far, in this collection. The concept of time does play a part in the story, but no more than any story that deals with someone’s past. There are plenty of sci-fi elements, but it takes place on a normal time scale.
To review “Anti-Social,” I need to make some assumptions. I need to assume our main character, Madam Electrum, is an accurate representation of a type of internet personality/celebrity.
An extra-dimensional species simply called “Needles” has just arrived—and things have gotten bad.
“Void” is a murder mystery story, front and center. And, with as much forthrightness, I’ll admit to my lack of knowledge of the subgenre. I don’t know the conventions.
“Well Run” is a chaotic, disjointed, flawed, but ultimately enjoyable episode of The Magnus Protocol. The main horror story is riffing on a classic concept that’s been explored in many other places but is still effective for a reason.
We return, once again, to our story of a ghostly conversation.
This time, we’re learning what happened in that meeting room, and how a ghost actually died.
The Murderbot Diaries is one of those series that is super popular and well-regarded, but it was not really on my radar until I went into this review for its first book, All Systems Red.
“Pet Project” is so short. I’m convinced that it exists to introduce one piece of lore and that’s about it. Time will tell, but this is likely the most succinct review of an episode I’ll maybe do for the whole series. What is there to say about this little vignette besides that it was, indeed, a horror story?
Spookiness abounds, dear reader.
Something is in our reality that wasn’t there before.
