[embedded content] Hello Tomorrow! Starts With An Intriguing Premise Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. It’s got such an odd combination of factors that somehow come together to deliver an engaging drama and mystery revolving around a big, central question. But, unlike a… Read More »

Tales of the Underworld Fails To Improve Its Story Tales of the Underworld didn’t stick the landing. The second part—the Cad Bane part—is not nearly as good as Asajj’s section. The action isn’t as interesting, dynamic, or even as intense. Lightsaber fights are just way cooler than blaster standoffs unless you try really, really hard.… Read More »

“The Reality War” Has So Very Many Plot Problems “The Reality War” is a mess of an episode. I thought “Empire of Death” failed to stick the landing, but wow. I don’t always make outlines for articles—I’m not that type of writer—but I did for this one, and it is longer than some articles I’ve… Read More »
Family Business Isn’t Always Outright Scary I had to wait a long time to get Family Business in hardcover—and I was a little disappointed when I did. Though it still contains some of the stronger elements that drew me to The Magnus Archives, including much-appreciated diversity in its characters, very creepy monsters, and a strong… Read More »
Nowadays, you can order most fandoms’ merchandise through a website. But back when Unspeakably Scary Things was being printed, it wasn’t uncommon to cut out a coupon in the back of a comic to get novelty items. Fortunately for my growing curiosity, the writers, marketers, or whoever oversaw Unspeakably Scary Things had been forward-thinking. Instead… Read More »
This LOTR Set’s Power Level Might Be Too Strong And here we are, back again. Almost through the list, and in this part, things get even more powerful.
