I don’t have the insider knowledge to know if the show achieved its intended results. What I mean is that there may have been no worse time to release a show like this. Or, at the very least, no more an insensitive time.
In a deviation from my usual rules, for Brave New World, I watched it all. The entire nine episodes. I did this so I could properly cover how it fits the original tale.
Kipo Takes Kid’s TV To Interesting Places Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a fascinating piece of children’s media for one major reason above all: it’s post-apocalyptic. The world is broken, battered, and it seems like most humans are dead or in hiding. That’s a very dark place to take a children’s series that…
“We all just want to be people, and none of us know what that really means.” Borne is a novel about growth, understanding differences, and ultimately – human triumph. The novel begins with a woman, Rachel and her friend, Wick struggling to survive in the dystopian wastes from a multitude of enemies outside the safe…
Watching 3% Has A Minor Entry Barrier Let’s get the obvious thing out of the way regarding 3% as an English speaking, American viewer: if you just press play, it’s in Portuguese and dubbed over with English actors, with the only other option being to watch it subbed. Really, though, a good story is a good…
If you were to peg it down, The Hunger Games is where this all got started. And, from that sentence, it should be clear what I mean, but for those who do not know: we are living in a dystopian world. I don’t mean that politically. What I’m referring to is the prevalence of the…

Now it’s up to Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin Television, to do it justice on the small screen. Now, brace yourself, because it will be adapted for the Syfy…

Tuning in… Ladies and gentlemen… …may I have your attention, please? *Cue music.* You’ve been patient. You’ve been diligent. You’ve been loyal.

The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose……
I think there might be something wrong with science fiction writers. Which is quite the statement, because I am a science fiction writer. Why do we like to end the world so much? What is so inherently appealing about destroying it? Is it because we have a grudge against society, and this is our way…
