In the UK a General Election is due to take place on the 7th of May this year. Like all “democratic” countries, the same old rounds of suit-wearing male dullards flood the airwaves with false promise and hope.

Rumor mills are always irritating, mostly because of that first word. However, it seems this time the rumors were correct and Fox is making another Alien film starring Sigourney Weaver as Flight Lt.

It all ends here… …and begins again. *Cue friggin’ music.* Last time on the Week of Chaos, we brought you into a world where the essence of a man was destroyed with a single spark. After that, you were shown a soul obsessed with violence, digging his own grave in blissful ignorance. Now, there are…

Two Boys Simon Kint (not his real name). It’s amazing how I can still remember the name of the kid who talked over and mocked my presentation on how sci-fi has influenced so many things in our lives. I was seventeen years old and this jumped-up, annoying little rhymes-with-skip kept begging our History teacher to…
Tuning in… It only gets better from here. Last time on the Week of Chaos, we reintroduced you to a daughter trapped in time and a calm before the storm. Now, things are beginning to shift. My friends, our first story of the day is a little more personal than most. I won’t say exactly…
