    It would be hard to cite post-apocalyptic works of non-fiction... Most of literature is fiction. The study of works of fiction does not make them irrelevant or untrue or not-representative of the human condition. The humanities departments throughout the world use fiction as a substrate. Plato...

    Fallout

    The canon of post-apocalyptic literature is huge. Some of it quite brilliant. Google it-- you'll find a ton of lists: (here's two-- but there are many) Very Best Post-Apocalyptic Fiction (323 books) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apocalyptic_and_post-apocalyptic_fiction Almost all of...

    Fallout

    I bailed after 3 hours. It's a hot mess of a show. World-building is terrible and inconsistent. I never played the game, but I didn't with League of Legends and I think that Arcane is a masterpiece. This is just high-budget, bloody crap. It's bad for the 3 episodes I wasted on it before I...

    Ahsoka

    PLUS you get Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Anyone who has seen Scott Pilgrim will never lose his (or her) crush on her... AND she has a biker chick's ass in hot leather pants on her head!

    Ahsoka

    The DUMBEST plot "twist." Made absolutely no sense and destroys the character completely. Unforgivable. Look- the series is essentially cookie-cutter, almost AI-generated in its plots and characters and story arcs. They went for the look/feel (and characters) of the original Star Wars. They...

    True Detective

    I saw it coming at either episode 3 or 4-- I saw all the set-ups and tropes and I knew they were destined to fail. The show had a ton going for it-- great actors, beautiful cinematography, gorgeous and disturbing settings, a huge budget, some great callouts to John Carpenter;s "The Thing.," but...
