Did You Forget About The International Space Station? Life got you down? Too much negativity in the news? Do you feel like there is nothing special anymore? Well, I get it: it’s easy to feel, and far be it from me to deny you your emotional responses, but, if I may lighten up things—counterpoint all…
E.V.A. Is Coming: Prepare For The Fight With the dreams of the future always tempered by the concerns of our current world, we look to the skies as an escape, but what happens when we aren’t there yet—and the world will not wait for us to scurry off its corpse? Well, you get dark science…
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… Welcome back, folks! The Week of Chaos continues with TWO short stories from Brandon Scott, the SECOND SET so far. Prepare to be… *Cue music.* …unprepared. Our first tale is one about innoncence and what happens when one is deprived of such in the face of a grim reality. What will become of…
Let me just say that the following paragraph is meant in the best possible way: This book is ridiculous. Absolutely nutter-butters, run-up-the-wall crazy. I can’t believe I read it. I can’t believe this is an actual book that exists in this world. I have never read anything like this, and I don’t expect to ever…
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…
The long awaited fourth film in the Jurassic Park franchise has finally become a reality and will come stomping into theaters this June. Jurassic World will be a sequel rather than a reboot but could be the first of a new trilogy for the series. The movie has been in development hell since 2005, going…
The month of May saw the release of two brand new sci-fi series, The Woods from BOOM! Studios, and Trees from Image comics. Despite the fact that their titles are both woodsy in nature, they are quite dissimilar in plot and the viewpoint from which they introduce their worlds. The Woods is by a much…
I like the idea of living in space or on another planet as much as the next person–that is to say, when I think about it, I don’t dislike it. It appears, however, that someone in Russia is a lot more in love with the idea of having an address with a lunar postal code….
BEWARE: I spoil. Metal Hurlant Chronicles is 30 minutes because each episode is a different story told on a different planet. I’m answering that question because that was my first question before I sat down and watched it. The length of the episode was a big concern for me since I’m so used to hour-long…
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? You’ve been patient. You’ve been diligent. You’ve been loyal. Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears! The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose of excitement, adventure,…
The number one reason to own a sister is for TV suggestions. Take some time out and give your sissy some cookies, you’ll be amazed at what you’ll find. I spent the weekend holed up with mine, marathoning a 10 hour season of Orphan Black. Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) is just walking around one night…
