Should we have seen this coming sooner? ![]() In the post, Mike goes on to quite literally outline what the storyline would have looked like had the show been picked up for a second season. So for those of you who want to know what we were planning to do, here’s a look at what would have been season 2!” So I’m writing this blog as our official second season, so you can know what might have been, learn the fates of your favorite characters, and know the answers to those dangling story threads from the first season. My biggest disappointment is that we left so many story threads open, holding them back for the hypothetical second season, which is always a gamble.

Like bot-transports that were not ART, it communicated in images and had allowed me onboard in exchange for a copy of my stored media. This was not an ideal situation for me, but it was the only transport going in the right direction. It was also bot-driven, no crew, but it carried passengers, mostly minimum to moderately skilled tech workers, human and augmented human, traveling to and from transit stations on temporary work contracts. (They were bad humans.) I really missed ART. ![]() At various points in our relationship, ART had threatened to kill me, watched my favorite shows with me, given me a body configuration change, provided excellent tactical support, talked me into pretending to be an augmented human security consultant, saved my clients’ lives, and had cleaned up after me when I had to murder some humans. ART’s official designation was deep space research vessel. Then there was Asshole Research Transport. It had spoiled me into thinking all bot transports would be like that. For the duration of the trip I had been alone with my media storage, just the way I like it. The first one had let me stow away in exchange for my collection of media files, with no ulterior motives, and had been so focused on its function that there had been hardly more communication between us than you’d have with a hauler bot. ![]() ![]() I HAVE THE WORST luck with bot-driven transports. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts, and their attempts to build an enormous Columbiad space gun and launch three people-the Gun Club's president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet-in a projectile with the goal of a moon landing.

Can he be back in the relative safety of London before a war starts? Shardlake finds himself travelling to the South Coast at the same time as King Henry VIII is amassing an Armada. An open and shut case soon becomes much more when it is linked to the exploitation of a young ward of the Court. When he is asked by the Queen herself to investigate the apparent suicide of a young man, he has no other recourse but to do so. Shardlake is still residing in London and is a lawyer for the Royal Court. I would like to hope that if I was back in 1545, the likes of Matthew Shardlake would be there to defend my apparent cowardness and insanity. ![]() Travel back to the time of Henry VIII and faster than you can say, “I am not French”, they will have you holding a long bow and being sent into battle. ![]() You would not see me travelling hundreds of years into the future or the past, are you mad?

The sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 shattered the idea that huge ocean liners were invulnerable. But these two tragedies at sea had very different ramifications. A lot of people think “shipwreck = Titanic” and stop right there. Larson didn’t know much about the Lusitania when he embarked upon this project. He points out that one passenger carried a gold seal with the Latin motto “Tuta Tenebo,” or “I will keep you safe.” Wrong words, wrong ship.Īs he freely admits, Mr. Larson has an eye for haunting, unexploited detail. There can’t be many new sources to draw on 100 years after the fact, but Mr. This does not seem like an opportunistic book, or a cobbled-together clip job full of previously known information. Would he be writing about the Lusitania if the anniversary were not imminent? To its credit, “Dead Wake” doesn’t read that way. As he demonstrated with “In the Garden of Beasts” and “The Devil in the White City,” he knows how to pick details that have maximum soapy potential and then churn them until they foam. Larson is an old hand at treating nonfiction like high drama. But the most attention-getting of the bunch is guaranteed to be Erik Larson’s “Dead Wake,” because Mr. This May is the 100th anniversary of the attack on the grand British ocean liner by a German submarine, and the expected crop of books will commemorate the occasion. ![]() The Lusitania is about to sink - and sink, and sink - all over again. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite its flaws, The Horror at Camp Jellyjam was fun to read and it leaned into its weirdness. With a few edits to explain some of the plot holes, or perhaps a significantly longer page count, this book could have really worked. Unfortunately, the book fell short of making enough sense to place it in the upper echelon of Goosebumps classics like One Day at Horrorland and Welcome to Camp Nightmare. The twist at the end was batshit crazy in the best way. That would have been literal hell for me as a child, so I deeply related to Wendy’s disillusionment as the story progressed. ![]() Buddy the counselor was super-creepy, and the sports-based summer camp sounded like a never-ending gym class. ![]() Part of me was wondering if the whole book was just Wendy’s ICU fever dream because they were not wearing seatbelts. The book opens with Wendy and her brother Evan arriving at the camp when the trailer that they’re hiding in gets unhitched from their parent’s car and they crash in the woods. It wasn’t afraid to go big and get weird. The Horror at Camp Jellyjam contained all of the elements I crave in a Goosebumps book. Goosebumps #33: The Horror at Camp Jellyjam ![]() |
