We were shown a lot of backstory this week as Malcolm and others in the group planned “the undertaking” and we witnessed the launch of the Queen’s Gambit on its fatal voyage. The worst part about these flashbacks: Oliver’s hair. College-age Oliver was truly creepy, like some Ted Bundy-like serial killer.
Apocalypse Eating: Day Five (aka The Last Day)
There was no apocalypse, and the world didn’t end, so tomorrow I get to wake up and have those jelly beans and that softened Ferrero Rocher chocolate. I’m going to the movies and ordering popcorn. I’ll meet my friend for a Mexican dinner. I get to go back to living above the line. But tomorrow, other people, all over the world, will be counting their pennies, desperately putting together their $7.50 equivalent for the next week, $1.50 pinched for the day, to feed themselves, as is their norm. If this week taught me anything, it’s how lucky I am.
Indulging in Squid Salad: Interview with Annie Stoll
Anii Stoll: “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawing. I guess I’ve always been drawing something since I was a little kid.

Whether it’s steampunk and craft beer or zombies and cocktails, if it’s out there I’m going to talk about it, and, well, probably drink it. You’ll be surprised whose getting really snookered in wormholes.
Apocalypse Eating: Day 3
I make light of how this is what I would eat like if the world ended, but it really would be. Maybe there would be some small comfort if we all had to live like this. But the truth is, there are people who really do have to live like this, and the apocalypse didn’t happen. It’s just what their world is. For now, I’m living in it.
Iron Man 3: This is How You End a Trilogy
This is how you end a trilogy. Operation clean slate. Not with some bomb and auto pilot, and a magical identity creator flash drive.

Revolution: Home
It’s hard for me to accept that Bass at his core is simply evil and maybe that’s more indicative of my failings than the writers’. Let me know in the comments if I’m alone in this, would you?
