Aspects of technology in Unlock the Boss
Messy, confused, fun, and a serious contender for Worst Ending in the end of year poll, this year’s Unlock the Boss was also an interesting discussion of how technological advancements have rapidly changed the way we interact with the world.

Season 3 of Doctor Who starts with Galaxy 4: a simple story brought back to life by animation.

Nostalgia Watch: Circle Two Worlds Connected

Korean Sci-fi: Grid
I attempt to dissect the deeply ambiguous science fiction procedural, Grid, from the pen of one of Korea’s best writers.

Grid and the multiverse theory of time travel
Think of your reality as a tree. Now think of your reality as a block. Now think of your reality as a straight line. Now throw all that out because here comes Grid to truly blow your mind.

I attempt to wrest order from chaos in my review of L.U.C.A.: The Beginning


Korean sci-fi: The Silent Sea review

The Chase: Doctor Who S2, Serial 8

I review The Web Planet. Doctor’s Who gloriously weird foray into fantasy.
