The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Public Image”
“Public Image” is a classic little horror story of an episode. There’s the tiniest cut back to the OIAR, but mostly we spend all the runtime with Heinrich Unheimlich.

The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Dependents”
“Dependents” is a sad, brutal exploration of trauma with excellent and heartbreaking acting from several of the voice actors. It’s shorter than a lot of other episodes but has managed to get a much deeper emotional response out of me than any other in the series. I am bummed out right now.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Circling Back”
Well, somehow I predicted right. “Circling Back” contains a standard horror story. The fact it also has a pretty strong push on almost all overarching plotlines was just a bonus.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Scrutiny”
“Scrutiny” is a lore dump episode for fans of The Magnus Archives, that also happens to contain one of the most emotionally brutal statements in the whole season. It’s barely even supernatural.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Out of the Box”
“Out of the Box” is perhaps the first comedy episode in this series and the second in Magnus as a whole. Maybe that’s just because of me being exposed to some much horror content, and not being bothered by the body horror, but I chuckled multiple times.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Terms and Conditions”
“Terms and Conditions” is an odd little episode. I’m unsure of the goal, to be frank. Besides the last two scenes, it’s just kind of mildly spooky stuff happening. Maybe that’s just a testament to how subtle the foreshadowing is, but I doubt there were that many big clues in the Bonzo section. It’s just Bonzo being Bonzo.
Friday Fiction: We Are Nothing But A Pulse Wave
In many stories, especially cosmic horror stories, humanity is threatened in some way or another. The reader is a witness to a potential end of the world.
This is such a story, but it does have a twist to it. For it is not an attack that threatens humanity.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Eliminations”
“Eliminations” is exactly what I wanted. In my article for “Peer Review,” I said I would like to please check in on Sam, and this over-delivered. We get a whole episode set over in The Magnus Archives world.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Peer Review”
“Peer Review” Lacks One Important Horror Aspect “Peer Review” is evocative of a classic episode. I liked it quite a bit. The writing is strong and the voice acting stellar. But it did lack this one point of magic that The Magnus Archives has. It’s the implication of explanation within the horror. In other words,…
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Restructuring”
“Restructuring” is a weird episode—mostly in its writing style. It’s juggling two very different conceits within one horror statement. And that becomes only more apparent when it’s clear that there’s nothing else of note in this episode. No big revelations. No multi-dimensional anything.
Friday Fiction: Gridlocked Into Hell
Have you ever been stuck in traffic, dear reader? Spent however long with almost unmoving cars, random honking, and maybe even some heat barring down on you?
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Compartmentalising”
“Compartmentalising” confirmed so many of my theories. I feel quite proud of myself, actually. After consuming so many episodes of The Magnus Archives and making it a part of my personality, I was hoping I’d gotten a good enough sense of things to predict matters.
