According to the official story, the Emperor of Man in Warhammer 40k was mortally wounded when facing off against Warmaster Horus, and was placed in the Golden Throne to keep him, and the human race, alive. I think there is reason to doubt that story. What really happened? Now, a curious fact is that the…
Apparently, you can write a virus that can go through the power cord on a laptop- not a power line networking device, but the actual power cord- to infect other systems. This was actually how it was said to have accessed the NCIS network. To give them more credit than they deserve, the operating state…
This is my own speculation, it’s not based on any statements from the creative team or actors or anything. But I noticed a few things, and the presence of Ed O’Neill playing the family patriarch on both shows helped. The cast is the big giveaway. In Married With Children, we’ve got a family consisting of Al…
On The Ethics of Vampire Slaying in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Interesting viewpoint here. Buffy/Angel spoilers, if you happen to be concerned. The clearest way to resolve this would be, as Greta suggests, some fundamental limitation to the re-ensoulment magic. In the case of Spike, this seems fairly obvious. He had to endure a…
Warlords of Draenor Druid Changes – Guides – Wowhead. I’ll probably dig through this in detail at some point, but the single biggest buff to Druids in the history of WoW is being reverted.

One thing I’ve wondered about with The Hunger Games is what became of the rest of the world. The books imply that Panem is the last refuge of humanity, but being in the first person from the perspective of someone who amounts to an uneducated peasant, I’m not sure we should accept that so quickly.…
AKA, the worst book in the history of all things, in all the universes, past, present, and future. Previously published at Goodreads. Excessively repetetive extreme redundancy of unnecessary repetition. This seems like a novella that was forced to be extended by executive meddling. The “twist” was incredibly predictable, to the point where I was thinking…
So, back in high school, I briefly had a column where I reviewed science fiction and fantasy books in our school paper. I’ll try to do that some here. Here’s my review of Dragonlance- The Lost Chronicles Volume 1, “Dragons of Dwarven Depths”. Originally posted on my Goodreads account. Finished “Dragons of Dwarven Depths”. It’s…
I think a good case could be made that he is the single most important actor in Star Trek history. At least, when you are looking at the franchise itself, as a whole. You could argue others within the confines of individual stories, series, and movies, and certainly for their work outside Trek, but for…
