Imagine the scale of stars for a moment.
It’s difficult, isn’t it? Thinking about stuff that big, out in solar systems that big, with so much emptiness between them?
Well, this story is not going to make that any easier.

We return to our silly story.
We return now to Charles.
It’s been many, many years since we last saw him. He’s changed a lot. Learned a lot. But his hatred for the Earth’s closest celestial body has not diminished in the slightest.
I am unhappy with the power level of Aetherdrift. Maybe I simply don’t see the inherent potency of vehicles or the “Start your engines” mechanic, but this list series is going to be different from the one I did for Foundations. Mainly because I couldn’t find five good enough Standard cards in each color.
The Mightnight Sky is bleak. A sense of loss, sadness, and more just permeates every moment of this movie. Even the biggest moment of levity made me tense, not relieved. And you really have to be in the right headspace to enjoy it.
This is a silly story. There’s no way around that. It is a sci-fi tale, set in the far future, but it’s also pure comedy.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser is a fascinating look at the current cultural interests, and especially what Marvel has learned from its other projects. The aesthetic, from moment one, is so very distinct—and so very familiar.
Paradise is one of the best-written shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s intricate without being confusing. Multi-layered without pulling away from its core storytelling. And gives answers to its many posed questions at a good enough pace that it’s always surprising that there’s another layer of mystery to uncover.
Hello, dear reader. Today’s story is another strange one. Another exploration of form and ideas.
Dark Harvest is a novella from 2006 I oopsed into reading because I wanted something short and spooky for October—and then only finished it a few days ago. And now, having discovered that it’s getting a film adaptation that appears to be trapped in some bureaucratic/logistical hell and will come out eventually, it seemed a perfect book to give a review.
Wicked (part one) is a lush, spectacular, wonderful experience of a movie. It captures the delightful energy of live theater and has so many incredible scenes. I’ve had several of its songs stuck in my head since I watched it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
