RinoZ’s Chrysalis #1: The Antventure Begins is a delightful and innovative addition to the LitRPG genre. While many stories in this category focus on overpowered heroes and grand quests, this…
Okay, folks, gather ’round! It’s time to talk about one of my absolute favorite LitRPG finds of the year: Beware of Chicken. I stumbled upon this gem on Kindle Unlimited…
Lethal Heritage by Michael A. Stackpole drops the Clans on the Inner Sphere and rewrites BattleTech overnight. Great book, wrong place to start.
A deep dive into Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, exploring its themes, characters, and mind-bending science fiction.
“Joy to the World,” the latest Doctor Who Christmas special, landed with a thud rather than a festive bang. While Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor continues to charm, the episode itself…
Published in April 1987, The Sword and the Dagger by Ardath Mayhar throws us headfirst into the tumultuous world of the BattleTech universe, specifically the era of the Succession Wars.…
I know its been a while since I’ve posted & you’ve all missed me greatly! However, I think its time to dust off the keyboard again and get back to…
A November 2024 review of Venom: The Last Dance — the road-movie middle, the Codex problem, Knull’s wasted potential, and whether the sacrifice actually lands.
A review of Deadpool and Wolverine, where Reynolds and Jackman’s chemistry carries a film written by people who genuinely understand the Fox universe.
Empire of Death kills the entire universe, then undoes it and drags Sutekh behind the TARDIS on a rope. The Ruby Sunday mystery deflates completely.

Rogue drops the Doctor into a Regency costume drama with shapeshifting alien birds and a bounty hunter he falls for. Charming, and gone in a puff of smoke.
Dot and Bubble looks like a social media satire about a city of influencers, then lands a final scene that reframes the whole episode. Genuinely nasty.
73 Yards strands Ruby in Wales with a figure always standing the same distance away, and gives her a whole life. Eerie, ambitious, and never explained.
Boom strands the Doctor on a live landmine on a war world where the ammunition is sold by the same company that started the war. The best of the run.
The Devil’s Chord sends the Doctor to Abbey Road in 1963 to face a god who devours music. Jinkx Monsoon is magnificent. The Beatles material is not.
Space Babies opens the Gatwa era with talking infants running a space station and a bogeyman made of mucus. Gatwa is great. The episode is not.
I read the Solo Leveling manhwa years before Crunchyroll picked it up. Here’s how A-1 Pictures’ anime adaptation actually stacks up, episode by episode.
The Church on Ruby Road launches Ncuti Gatwa with a goblin musical number and a plot built on coincidence. He’s excellent. The episode is thin.
The Giggle gives Neil Patrick Harris the best villain the show has had in years, then ends the Doctor’s story with a fudge nobody asked for.
