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.
Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!
To finish out this year, we have one more story. One more tale. And, because this is Sci-Fi Bloggers, it only seems fitting to make this one a science fiction story. But it’s being told in a slightly different way than you might expect.
It’s the future. But not a nice one. An army of indestructible machines simply called “The Marching” have done serious damage to the planet, destroying so much in their wake.
Time for a weird sci-fi concept! This time, we’re checking in on the very first Four-Man. Being a Four-Man comes with a power, but also some difficulties.
What does that title mean? Well, dear reader, I’m afraid I cannot tell you. The story will reveal such matters.
Dark Matter takes a premise I’ve certainly covered before. Everything Everywhere All at Once dealt with relationships across multiple dimensions, and what it means to want a different life than you already have. But, while I will not claim Dark Matter is a better show than All at Once is a movie, I will say that this series presents a fascinating alternative to multiverse fiction—both in the story and in its storytelling.
The final part of this adventure. The conclusion of “Liquid Air Delivery. It’s been harrowing and thrilling, and now our pilot has one final dash to save himself—and everyone else nearby.
Welcome back, dear reader.
As you may recall, our protagonist has a problem. Two deadly machines called “Task-Shots” stand between him and preventing an explosion.
In our last installment of this tense, sci-fi adventure, our protagonist discovered that this wasn’t going to be a normal delivery. There’s more going on. But he doesn’t back down easily.
Today, dear reader, we have a science fiction tale for you. It’s full of worldbuilding, action, and a main character who can handle extremely dangerous situations.
In fact, that’s what makes him such a good pilot.
