Great news: No spoilers in the article for any of the series mentioned!

It’s good to see you, Charlie.

Always nice to see High King Margot The Destroyer getting the praise she deserves. 

“GASP”!
The return!!!

Catra is objectively the best character on She-Ra. She has such a great arc, and I’m legitimately curious to see how her relationship with Adora develops. Those two have a lot to unpack.

Yay! New article from CJA!

In fairness, although I love Grant Morrison, much of his output is, well.. a bit shit as well.

I never would have Gethed that...

Garrus and I are in love. Well, me and Garrus and Liara and Kaidan. It’s a whole big group thing.

I remember being indifferent to the secondary cast through most of ME1. They were just there. Especially Garrus whom I just disliked. But when I got Garrus back in ME2 it was great, after having a crew of unfamiliar faces. And by the end of ME3 Garrus, Tali, and others felt like real friends.

I’m replaying ME3 right now and Legion just... you know... and my heart is full of feelings.

Lost in Space is in the Mass Effect universe. The Robinson family was the first to use the mass relay, but were not fully capable of controlling it. The robot is a rogue, early version of a Geth.

I would love to see a well-made adaptation of this series, but the logic of this rumored deal seems a little bit opaque to me. They are talking about purchasing this series of novels for a quarter of what Star Wars cost Disney. By the standards of book rights, that is astronomical.

Like Fifty Shades of Grey emerged from a Twilight fanfic and this feels about as bad to read - not just on story substance, but also on technical execution. It actually makes me kind of upset at myself for being worried that my prose is too…

Uh, no, I grew up in the ‘80s (graduated high school in 1990), and I was, if not a nerd — back then, that word was associated with doing well in math and science, not knowing the names of Hugo winners — definitely a dork. Not a geek, though — back then, that was reserved for the paste-eaters and the…

But I daresay the point of the book was actually Cline’s own obsessions with these nerdproperties. Or the cynical me would say pandering to the readers obsessions. Which seems to be why they serve no useful purpose but to illicit squeals of joy for fellow obsessives.

Halliday is a nerd that never fit in, with friends, especially with girls, with life in general. Video games allowed him to escape to a world for he fit in and a world where his dreams could come true. That is why he created OASIS.

Ready Player One doesn’t show any insight as to why we like comics, video games, TV shows, or movies.
