Sure, it’s more of a Gilmour solo album in many ways, but I don’t have a problem with that. #PinkFloyd20 Jul 2026 17:42 +0000at://did:plc:acacy6oitvxaia4srcfyokq7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr3tqhehms2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/criticalmyth.bsky.social/post/3mr3sklpjas2zBabylon 5 5x21: “Objects at Rest” "While I have my criticisms of certain elements of the episode, particularly how it handles Lennier’s 'betrayal', there are also some truly moving moments.

In the dream, it was as relatively empty as it was back when I first starting going, when an affordable VIP ticket got you tons of perks. I realized it's been about 10 years since I've been there (and 8+ years since my last con in general).16 Jul 2026 14:42 +0000at://did:plc:acacy6oitvxaia4srcfyokq7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqrhtht4nc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/criticalmyth.bsky.social/post/3mqrgimt7bk24Lucky 1x02: “Make ’em Dance” "There are some big questions surrounding the overall narrative, but there’s plenty of time for those questions to be answered." #Lucky https://medium.com/critical-myth/review-lucky-season-1-episode-2-make-em-dance-91347f9855e116 Jul 2026 14:18 +0000at://did:plc:acacy6oitvxaia4srcfyokq7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqrgimt7bk24https://bsky.app/profile/criticalmyth.bsky.social/post/3mqrdxrewe224Lucky 1x01: “No Shortcuts” "If the premiere is any indication, there will be plenty of action, twists, and turns in Lucky’s story." #Lucky https://medium.com/critical-myth/review-lucky-season-1-episode-1-no-shortcuts-66f6cb44541316 Jul 2026 13:33 +0000at://did:plc:acacy6oitvxaia4srcfyokq7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqrdxrewe224https://bsky.app/profile/criticalmyth.bsky.social/post/3mqouz5kkrk25Mistborn: Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson: Throughout this novel, I thought I knew where the story was going.
