My Writing and Thoughts on Science Fiction, Fantasy, and the Inhuman Condition
What’s this? I’m not dead! Forgive me father, it’s been four and a half years since I last posted and I decided to stop wasting money keeping the IP up by actually using this site for something. And since I just so happened to start reading a new book on Continue reading Review: Tress of the Emerald Sea
I enjoy aliens. I like programs with aliens, I like stories with aliens, generally I just think about aliens a lot. Like, too much. I especially like to get into the Science of Aliens, things like Hypothetical Biochemistries, and exotic evolutionary pathways. And you know what? As much as I Continue reading Townsend’s Guide to Alien Design
The other night, as I struggled to fall asleep as usual, I realized something. There is a distinct and profound flaw in the Star Wars Prequel series, specifically Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. Right now, you may be saying to yourself, “No shit.” And I have no doubt this conclusion has Continue reading The Star Wars Prequels: A Realization

And in no aspect of the Tolkienian mythos is this fact more prominent, than Continue reading The Problem With Dwarves
First of all I’d like to say that this review is 110% completely Spoiler-free. So Wonder Woman Kills both of them in the end. That was a shocker, I have to admit. They went through the whole thing together, then teamed up with her to beat Doomsday AND Brainiac, (at Continue reading A Review of Batman vs Superman: The Worst Movie Ever.
So, my dumb, pointless fan theory about Captain America: Civil War has been confirmed by the most recent trailer: A couple months ago, I posted a theory on here, that Spidey would, in the course of the film, receive a fancy high-tech super-suit from Iron Man (taking the place of Continue reading I Was Right about Civil War: Ha ha
Captain America: Civil War is the newest upcoming addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, coming in May, and the internet is abuzz with theories and speculation (damn, now I wish they were including the Wasp in that movie, if for no other reason than that “buzz” line would be a Continue reading My Theory About Captain America: Civil War
We all know about King Arthur. The mythic first king of England, wielder of Excalibur, the sword in the stone and/or given to him by the mysterious Lady in the Lake, subject of countless literary romances across hundreds of years and several languages, a variety of classic dramatic modern films Continue reading King Arthur: Not Awesome Enough
