Friday Fiction: Notes in Bottles
Five humans went up into space for a secret mission. The mission has failed. Now, the only thing to do is send out messages and hope someone hears them.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Transferal”
“Transferal” picks back up a plotline that I had—admittedly—forgotten about. It hadn’t really been referenced since season one, and, thinking on it now, had seemed mostly handled. It’s possible there was a throwaway line where Celia was still dealing with being pulled back to the Archives universe—but I can’t recall it. Certainly, the narrative didn’t make a big enough deal to reinforce it.
The Best Edge of Eternities Cards (Part 2 of 5)
This is part 2 of a list of the best 35 cards in the latest Magic: The Gathering set, Edge of Eternities. The articles are meant to be read in order, so start with this one if you want the full list. Cards are presented in WUBRG order and alphabetically within each color. Hope you’re having fun…
Friday Fiction: How Long Would It Take You To Notice The Honey Monster?
Honestly, this is one of the most complicated stand-alone stories we’ve ever featured on Friday Fiction. It’s set in the future, with some comedy layered in, and then is also an apocalyptic horror story.
The Best Edge of Eternities Cards (Part 1 of 5)
It’s not the best “exile everything” spell that Standard has seen, but Beyond the Quiet will become a staple of any WU control deck, and will be multiple copies in that deck.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Back to Basic”
“Back to Basic” is an odd episode to talk about. It’s not really an episode; it’s exposition. The statement is barely a statement. The conversations don’t feel like conversations. The whole point of the runtime is just to teach us some worldbuilding elements.
Friday Fiction: Hiding In Plain Sight (Part 3)
Welcome back for Part 3. The final part. The conclusion.
In it, our narrator will find the Hidden Gnasher—but it won’t be how you maybe expected.
Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “Bad Magic”
I was so concerned during the first half of “Bad Magic.” Nothing seemed to be happening. Riri was sitting in her trauma, and getting increasingly paranoid, but I was genuinely worried that nothing would push the plot forward until the next episode.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Sink or Swim”
“Sink or Swim” is a disturbing, creative episode that would’ve likely creeped me out if I weren’t very used to these kinds of stories. Sometimes, horror media still “gets me,” and I jolt a little, but I was mostly just enjoying the little clues that I picked up as it went.
Friday Fiction: Hiding In Plain Sight (Part 2)
Not every monster is a scary, massive thing, as this story proves.
In our second installment of “Hiding In Plain Sight,” our protagonist is now trapped in a room with something so small that he can’t be sure where it is, but it’s quite capable of hurting him.
Ironheart Episodic Coverage: “We in Danger, Girl”
“We in Danger, Girl,” could best be described as the consequences episode. Many, many plotlines set up over the last two episodes are all collapsing in. Basically, nothing is going right for the characters—and it was the perfect choice for this show.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Hostile Workplace”
Why wasn’t “Hostile Workplace” the episode we got when the series returned from a hiatus? It’s much, much better than “Internal Investigation,” and reveals a ton of plot information without giving the game away. A single speculation from Sam about how alchemy works was honestly enough to make my mind go whirring. Not to mention the statement.
