This has been about two years in the making, with Star Wars under new and specific direction (Kathleen Kennedy), where finally the promise of Rey and Jyn has turned up something so outstanding it entirely occupied my thoughts for two days straight, ruining a weekend: the revelation of Iden Versio in the ‘upcoming’ Star Wars: Battlefront II. … More Iden Versio and My Burgeoning Star Wars Fandom
In short, Sarah Palmer is hated by the fan community because she’s a jerk. To the video, it’s honestly quaint there’s no disclaimer that it “isn’t sexism,” which of course, is the flag that instantly speaks to the reverse. In fact, HaloFollower begins the video by qualifying that Sarah Palmer is a BAMF, which he articulated as an acronym (Badass Motherfucker?). … More We React To: Women in Authority

The title for my Event Horizon review on Dreck Fizzle was “Infinite Space, Infinite Error,” a BBPX-style pun that is equally applicable here. Though — I have to say, my favorite pun title is for my worst episode, about Terminator, and it’s Rust, Caution. So brilliant, but I’ve gotten no feedback on it. I need my feedback … More Prometheus Unbiased and the Future of Alien
