Imagine, dear reader, if you could know all there was to know about a planet. What would you do with such knowledge? What might you think of the universe?

Gaming is a lot of fun. It’s a favorite pastime of so many people. And the technology is getting better all the time.
In this version of our future, it’s gotten very, very good. Possibly beyond what is actually possible—but, hey, this is a science fiction story. Let’s roll with it.

Are you in a room, dear reader?
If so, look at a corner. Isn’t it cool how perfectly the two walls mesh into one another? There’s no space between them.

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.

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.

I have a question for you, dear reader. A question of intent. Last time, I said that we would have a story without any blood. What did you think I meant by that?

Much has been said, no doubt, about the social satire inherent to Severance. It’s the most immediate aspect of the show—and only continues to become more aggressive as the series continues. But I am not the reviewer to talk about its accuracy to either the feelings inherent to such a type of work or the setting’s accuracy.

This is a story about the end of the world, and of lying. One is more obvious than the other. Sometimes, a lack of information can be its own sort of lie. A hidden truth, told in half-truths.

I always look forward to the newest Doctor Who Christmas special—and this episode, “Joy to the World” was no exception. It has already been too long since that last episode. Already too long since I got to see some adventure with the Doctor.
