Chip'n Dale, Rescue Rangers ("The Case of Cola Cult" and "Risky Beesness")
"Rescue Rangers" does present an interesting picture of Disney's televised animation in a transitional state.
All Night Laundry (chapters 3-5)
It's an incredibly strong juxtaposition of power and powerlessness.
Bewitched S1E7: "The Witches are Out"
I'm not sure if this show ever realized what it was actually saying. Maybe it did. But I don't think so.
The Amazing Digital Circus E2: "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
A pathetic figure, broken and trying his best even though doing so just breaks himself even more. Isn't that the state of what passes for "AI" development these days?
City of Angles (chapter one: "Starting Out Sideways")
Or...okay, I've got it. Imagine if Douglas Adams wrote "Neverwhere." Yeah. I think that's more or less right.
The Dragon Masters (part two)
The greph breeding a human lineage specifically to be ridden pretty much has to be pure sadism and megalomania.
The Dragon Masters (part one)
It was easier to be original back then, when there was less science fiction and fantasy already out there on the market, but reading "The Dragon Masters" makes me feel sure that there's fertile ground still waiting to be tilled by authors with sufficient imagination.
Malcolm in the Middle S2E20: "Bowling"
A creative idea for an episode, saddled with mostly lazy writing and unfunny jokes.
Katalepsing Katalepsis
Maybe genre, in its entirety, as a concept, is actually just...bad?
Katalepsis IV: the Other Side of Nowhere (part 3)
Alexander’s means antagonized all his neighbours, and the ends were them ganging up and rendering his sacrifices for naught.
Katalepsis IV: “the Other Side of Nowhere” (part 2)
This isn't just an encrustation of living material. It's descending passed the epidermis and into the living skin tissue of another planet-creature.
Dr. Who: "Rose"
When I put it in writing "zany impish guy is now a traumatized veteran" sounds like an edgy juvenile deconstruction. It isn't, though. It really, really isn't.
Katalepsis IV: the Other Side of Nowhere (part 1)
No way in hell did New Sun create all of this, Lozzie or no Lozzie.
New Statesmen: finale
If there was meant to be a lot more New Statesmen that the authors never got to put to page, then...well, I guess that's sad for them, but I also can't bring myself to say that it's any kind of loss to the world.
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part five)
What we're looking at is the product of an ongoing war between wizards and behaviour-modifying parasites.
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part four)
This episode led me back into a question I've asked a few times previously: why does magic make you a monster, in this setting? Why are magicians all so insistent on competing, when it seems like cooperating gives them much more to gain?
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part three)
I hope this is it. That would be perfect.
Katalepsis III (part two)
Confirmation that Lozzie is a prisoner, perhaps even a prisoner in her own body. And also, more distressingly, that Evelyn and her pile of occult treasures are no longer the main target after Heather's display of dimension-warping power at the end of arc 2. Heather herself is the greater prize now.
