‘Aristoi’ Is Williams’s ‘Best’
Walter Jon Williams is nothing if not a visionary worldbuilder, and the world of Aristoi is him at his best.

I Am Batman (In Arkham City, at Least)
Batman: Arkham City is the best video game I’ve played in recent memory. Mass Effect 2 and Portal 2 are close contenders, but Arkham City still takes the top spot. I don’t think I’ve been quite as enthralled by a game since Half-Life 2 came out. They’ve captured the spirit of Batman perfectly, distilling the […]
The Walking Dead: ‘Beside the Dying Fire’: Season 2 Finale
The Walking Dead Season 2 finale, much like the season as a whole, was full of slow character-driven scenes scattered with occasional bouts of action. The good parts are very good, but the characters in this show, as I’ve said before, do a lot more talking than doing. The final destruction of Hershel’s farm was […]
New Info on ‘The Winds of Winter’ by George R.R. Martin
In a recent interview with SmarterTravel.com, George Martin described the plot of the beginning of the sixth novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter: ST: One of the dominant themes in the first five books, in fact probably the tagline for the whole series so far, has been […]
Do We Know the Plot of Iron Man 3 Already?
Latino Review and io9 think they do, anyway. It seems like there may be hints pointing towards Iron Man 3 involving elements from the Extremis story arc. http://latinoreview.springboardplatform.com/mediaplayer/springboard/video/ltrv001/955/454845/
‘Metropolitan’ by Walter Jon Williams
I discovered Metropolitan completely unexpectedly while browsing the (somewhat sparse) science fiction and fantasy section at my local public library. I had heard of Walter Jon Williams, but had never read any of his work. After reading the jacket copy and deciding that this book seemed written just for me, I borrowed it. What followed […]

‘The Dark Court’
Ashsilverlock has a great essay up on Fabulous Realms about The Dark Court, AKA the mythology of dark elves. An excerpt: Dark Elves have actually been around in mythology almost as long as Elves themselves – Celtic folklore in particular is full of tales of the Dark or Unseelie Court, causing mischief and mayhem for […]
