Rotten Evidence by Ahmed Naji.
Otherwise, not much! Thomas Cromwell is still climbing a rickety ladder to who knows what. I got this weird passion-project sci-fi anthology as a gift from one of its contributors, but since the only commentary I have to offer is a series of screeds about how poorly edited it is, it's probably best that I refrain for now.
For the Honor of Love
I liked the Noelle Stevenson She-Ra reboot so much that I've started watching the orginal Filmation She-Ra from 1985. I'm pretty sure I didn't watch it when it was new, though I know we had some (terrible) He-Man episodes on cassette, and I'm almost sure I had a stuffed animal of one of the annoying comic relief characters (a prissy koala with rainbow wings). The Horde is a little more successful as a conquering force in this version, and this version of Hordak is having a much better time - festooning himself with bones, cackling up a storm, flying around in a fighter plane with his own face painted on the nose. The voice acting is astonishing right across the board; you would think it had been deliberately directed to drive adults and sensitive older siblings from the room. Maybe it was? The best thing I can say about She-Ra is that Bow is a cinnamon roll in every continuity. The second-best thing is that the closing credits theme ROCKS.
There's Always Next Week
Maybe I'll be a little further into The Dark Forest by then?
At this point Tarek attempted to draw an analogy to a TV series starring Ghada Abdel Razek: Surely you couldn’t try the actress for murder, he reasoned, just because she’d killed someone in one of the episodes? The prosecutor took in this new piece of information and said, deadly serious: “So you’re telling me this is a TV show now?” Tarek tried to explain, but the prosecutor was warming to his theme. “In that case,” he replied with a confident flourish, “where are the other episodes?”
