I somehow didn’t have any kind of calendar reminder to post these, something that i will definitely remember to fix, but here’s the results!
Movie
Bo Burnham’s “Inside”, a tour de force of what it’s like going crazy from having to stay away from people due to the global pandemic, which has killed over 2 million people world wide and is currently spiking like crazy here in the US.
Book
The second of the three Coda novels that wrapped up the Star Trek Literary expanded universe, it was the last time we had any hope they were going to somehow pull off a hail mary and save themselves.
Video Game
Alien: Fireteam Elite, it had a slightly rough launch, but the story was interesting, tied into the larger Alien / Prometheus mythos and didn’t step on any toes doing it’s thing. A new free DLC was just released, so I’ll likely be revisiting this again in the near future.
Television Shows
A seven way tie for #1, 2021 was an embarrassment of riches in the amount of high quality television that was released. We finally got television shows that authentically tied into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we finally got Star Trek that was good, some excellent hard science fiction, and the end of the current Netflix era of Lost In Space.
