Spoiler Review: 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
After years of rumours, actor hunting, and behind the scenes problems, Solo: A Star Wars Story finally hit cinemas worldwide last week. The only question is... did it live up to expectations? If you don’t want the big points of the film ruined for you before you go to see it, turn back now! Although the chances of you turning back at this point are probably like... hey, no, I’ll never tell you the odds. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. No, seriously, consider this your warning to remain spoiler free.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Review
If you haven't seen it yet, a word of warning, but why are you reading this? Spoilers! Nowadays I go into the cinema with the same expectations as I would when going to the bathroom with a box of popcorn and a diet cola. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching movies, but I also enjoy relieving myself.

Remembering Hell
It all started on the day she was born—or, in this case—found. The skies were blanketing themselves in rows of purple velvet, and the wind was striking through the old, New York’s Finest Albany Pecan Orchard, with a vengeance that promised a heck of a beat-down on the rows of defenseless tree limbs.

Brutalist Stories #60
We stole the stars from their sky, we stole the seas from their planet, we stole the souls from their young, and when there was nothing else left to take, we burnt them up like any other planet. There were some that escaped, as they always do, but the legions took care of them until there was no trace that they had ever existed. Complete and utter annihilation.

Can We Tone Down the 'Star Wars' a Bit?
Solo was an odd experiment from the Disney and the Star Wars universe. Granted, the character of Han Solo quickly became a favourite among fans for his down-to-earth personality and the fact that he was the only "normal" main character in the saga.

Review of 'The Crossing' 1.8
As seems to happen all too often when an announcement comes down that a series won't be renewed for another season, the remaining episodes just get better and better. If episode 1.8 on last night is any indication, that's just what's happened with The Crossing.

Embracing Abnormality
The definition of what is abnormal varies from person to person. Personally, an abnormality is anything that varies from my personal bubble of normal. Anything that varies from my day-to-day, I’d consider abnormal. If a woman wearing nothing but black clothing were to walk into my uniformed school, that’d be abnormal to me. If we had an exchange student arrive, that'd also be abnormal. They’re different from what is normally seen around my little bubble. So I decided to delve into my perceptions of abnormalities and see how they differ from the psychological term of abnormal and my own thoughts of what is abnormal. In order to preserve the identities I shall call those who I observed my "subjects".

Enliven (Part II)
Jakes looked about the street that October night. He noticed the cool breeze and the clouds. He also noticed Yania with a gait that suggested excellence. Her blonde locks flowed over her white skin like wind through a spoiler. Her thin frame seemed to glide with the moving air.

Tapestry of Night
Hearken! The triumph of humanity has come at last... It is the year 2235, and humanity stands together as the United Terran Commonwealth, and has spread from Terra to the outer reaches of our galaxy. Through the discovery of the slipstream, a river of particles intersecting all parts of known space, the mighty ships of the UTC slip through the gateways to establish new colonies, discover new and lucrative resources, and police their rapidly-expanding empire. To this end, each sector of space laid out by the UTC is watched over by men and women called Sector Marshals, whose mandate it is to protect the interests of Terra, transcending all other concerns... for there are many dangers in the galaxy...
