MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "If It Wasn't For Bad Luck..." (Part 3)

2018

Hope was leaving her apartment for the evening when her cell phone went off. She checked the caller ID, seeing the name of a familiar Malkavian.

"What's up, Detective Trent?"

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979)

So, if you've followed my Twitter of late, you've probably seen that I've been on a Star Trek kick (unless you're reading this long after 3/21/22, in which case - Hi future people! Is the pandemic over yet?). Rather than spend my time either being snarky or outright complaining about Star Trek: Picard getting a second season, I decided to actually talk about some good Trek.

...this obviously isn't that, but I haven't actually covered any of the movies, so I figured I'd have to start somewhere.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "The Champions of Zobek" (Chapter 7)

 

"Ugh...my head!"

A horrendous pain was what greeted Calen upon reawakening in... wherever it was that he'd ended up. This definitely wasn't the cave back on the moon, or at least he was fairly certain it wasn't. The last thing he remembered had been that firefight and...

What If. . .the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 7)

Last time, the Doctors aplenty were splint up across the multiverse to recover the Key of Reality, a powerful artifact not unlike that of the Key to Time, though on a significantly higher scale. 

What If...Sam Winchester killed John Winchester? (Part 2)

Last time, we took our first step into a world where the events of Devil's Trap played out very differently for the Winchester family. Namely, rather than hesitate and then shoot John in the leg, Sam shot John Winchester in the heart - killing both John and the Yellow-Eyed Demon in one blow, avenging the death of Mary twenty-two years prior.

MadCap's Mod Mondays - "Fallout: Who Vegas"

"Have you ever wondered what it's like? To be wanderers in the Fourth Dimension? Have you? To be exiles?"

"There are some corners of the universe that have bred the most terrible things, things that act against everything that we believe in. They must be fought."

"Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do, anyway."

"You may be a Doctor, but I'm the Doctor, the definite article, you might say!"

"Brave heart, Teagan."

"I am the Doctor, whether you like it or not!"

"Anybody remotely interesting is mad in some way or another."

"Physician, heal thyself."

"Before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I!"

"I'm not just a Time Lord, I'm the last of the Time Lords."

"Geronimo!"

"I'm the Doctor, and I save people! And if anyone happens to be listening, and you've got any kind of problem with that: TO HELL WITH YOU!"

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "If It Wasn't For Bad Luck..." (Part 2)

"I don't...I don't understand."

"I know."

"You're telling me I'm-"

"Dead? Yes."

"I don't understand. I'm...I'm alive. I know it."

"Feel your chest."

"What?"

What If...Mace Windu survived his fight with Palpatine? (Part 15)

Last time, the Rebels made great progress after a two year struggle to retake Alderaan. In the shadow of that victory, however, the Jedi had a terrible realization: somehow, Palpatine has returned despite Anakin having struck him down back in Part 4. Despite Anakin's destiny to bring balance to the Force, the Sith remain and the Dark Side holds.

What happens next? Let's see.
