UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. Dawn

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

542 – Catching Up

Altered states…

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Clint
I’ve had a habit of singing praises of various movies and video games in this blog based on early impressions, some of which pan out and some of which don’t. Well, who am I to break with habit?   I mean wow. WOW. I’m late to the party on this one (it debuted in its entirety on Netflix back in February) but if you’re any kind of fan of cyberpunk style science fiction or just science fiction world building in general, and you haven’t seen it yet, you should give Altered Carbon a go. The two episodes I’ve watched probably shouldn’t be enough for as strong a recommend as I’m making here, but again. Habit. Just from a writing perspective I’ve been thoroughly impressed with how they’ve handled the exposition and presentation of a world both familiar to and wildly different than our own. It reminds me of how I felt reading Asimov, but turned up to 11 and splashed into fully audio-visual format without losing any of the thought-provoking underpinnings of the philosophical consequences of advancing technology. This being Netflix there’s also no shortage blood, butts, boobs and harsh language to go around, so it might not make for the best family viewing–if for no other reason than being stuck explaining to your kids all the gratuitous gratuities adults take for granted–but again there’s a feeling of deep thoughts beneath that surface sheen and even the sex and violence has angles of approach that are not what you might be used to experiencing. And that’s all I’m really going to say because I knew nothing about this series going into it and I think it was all the better discovering it fresh with no preconceptions of what it could or should be. Okay, one spoiler: Poe is awesome. I leave the rest of the opinions to you.
