This guy builds worlds with words and whiskey. He has contributed to PDI Press’ first two Noirlanthotep anthologies as well as the punk rock dystopian short story collection American Carnage. He has authored The Perilous Journeys of Pericles, a misbegotten science fiction adaptation of a misbegotten Shakespeare play (available on Amazon for Kindle). He is currently pulling his hair out over a novel that just never seems to get any closer to completion. He lives in Jersey, but is usually only willing to admit it when the conversation turns to pizza and/or access to great record shops. If you buy him a couple of drinks, he’ll show you his irredeemably nerdy tattoo.
Sure, it’s something of a “Ripped from the Headlines”/“Very Special Episode” of the X-Files, but the feel is loose and jaunty enough to separate it from the tired tropes of the countless acronym procedurals over on the other stations.
I beat on this horse quite often in this forum, but I can’t help but consider Breaking Bad to be in some small ways, a part of the legacy of the X-Files.
Is it just me, or does this season sort of feel like the dumping ground for story ideas that would have been used in the fourth season of Millennium had it not been cancelled?
