Pacing is not bad but the antagonists are oversimplistic and the worldbuilding is clumsy.

It has a premise that is challenging for any writer, it has worthy themes, and it has some depth and emotional resonance without trying too hard.

A study by T. Yengst et al titled “Comparative Health Outcomes of Vaccinated versus Unvaccinated Children: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis” published on 26 September 2026 supports the objection that children’s vaccinations are not always helpful. The paper is 23 pages long, with the main text at about 15 pages. The remaining are references and tables. This is not the first study about the long(er)-term impact of childhood vaccination. The authors mention a few examples in the

Sacramento, CA – A 48-year-old midget is glad that he is way older than the cut-off age under which one will be required to pass the “5-Step test” regarding seatbelts as outlined in AB 435. “I’d fail that test,” said the midget. “Either way, I refuse to use a booster seat.” He is also suspicious of the government’s motives for passing this kind of legislation. “I don’t know if they want revenue from fines,” said the midget, “but since when did they care about children? Maybe

Looks great but two of the main characters are annoying and the plot lacks substance.

Interesting enough premise but clumsy plotting. Visually cheap. It may work in a game but not so much as a 12-episode series.

The Catechism of the Council of Trent, also referred to as The Roman Catechism, was issued by order of Pope Pius V. The introduction briefly goes through the history of the text. There have been many catechisms through the centuries. At the beginning of the Council of Trent in 1545 under Pope Paul III, a uniform instructional text was called for. However, due to other matters, it was not until sixteen years later—during which Pope Julius III had reigned and died—when a commis

A Chinese study by J. Wu et al titled “Dietary phytochemical index and biomarker profiles are associated with colorectal cancer odds: integrating dietary intake with blood biomarkers” published on 15 September 2026 indicates that higher phytochemical and fibre intake is better for one’s health. The text is about 15 pages, including references. One of the motivations is that few studies “have simultaneously evaluated dietary phytochemical intake together with gut barrier marke

So far, worldbuilding and plotting can be better but there is some intrigue.

Well-paced and maintains the intrigue and tension throughout.

A few weeks ago, Kyrylo Budanov of Ukraine admitted to needing no “fewer than 30,000 people a month” to maintain their numbers for the conflict/war with Russia. On Thursday, Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed in a speech in parliament that Ukraine has suffered 27,000 casualties per month. “Recently, 27,000 people have been killed and wounded per month, and these are, of course, unfortunately, in the saddest sense of the word, records in this war. With this trend, winter in Ukrain

Atlanta, GA – Experts are warning of a new COVID strain detected on the East Coast of the US, dubbed the “Mitch” variant. “It’s a real nasty one,” said Professor Ben Chao. “It’ll knock you out for at least three months and take away whatever little ability you have to talk.” Victims tend to be bedridden, although some manage simple tasks like talking on the phone, even if they normally don’t make any sense. “It can be deadly too,” added Chao, “particularly to the vulnerable p

Frankfort, KY – A man has been fired after turning up to the office on a stretcher. “It’s not that he turned up barely conscious in a stretcher,” said the manager, Mick. “It’s the fact that it’s his first appearance in like three months. He didn’t even call in sick.” The man is “pretty sure” that his wife did inform management but he admitted that she was out of the country “so she probably forgot”. Management is adamant that the man has been grossly negligent. “This is an of

Despite all the cheese and laughable problems, it is strangely amusing.

Predictable but it flows well enough. Nothing special either way.

Can be more intense but it is short and looks good enough. An Alien rip-off but it is still a classic that is amusing and entertaining.

Some characters still underutilized, but mostly looks good and enjoyable.

San Francisco, CA – A Chinese mother does not understand why white women criticize her as “too abusive” for disciplining her children. Jane, an immigrant from Hong Kong who has been living in the US for over twenty years, still uses the time-honored feather duster. “I hit them hard but I no kill them, you know,” says Jane, “so no idea why people comprain.” Jane is of the opinion that it is imperative to enforce order regardless of the circumstances: “Look at white children, s

A study by K.-C. Hung et al titled “Low vitamin D status and long-term risk of incident fibromyalgia: a propensity score–matched cohort study” published on 24 August 2026 adds to the already large body of evidence that vitamin D is vital to one’s health. The paper is about 12 pages, including references. The study examined not only fibromyalgia (long-term and widespread pain) but also all-cause mortality. The study involved a comparison of the vitamin D deficient (VDD) group

Decent sequel. Plot can be more complex, but solid production and visually excellent.

Whilst the author makes some correct (enough) criticisms of the world, the text is ultimately more self-indulgent, vague materialist-socialist/communist drivel like his other works.
