Musings on Books to Video Games and Everything In Between
Last year during #SciFiMonth, I wrote about a trope that is near and dear to my heart, spaceship crews that double as found families. I love when misfits come together, when they bicker like there's no tomorrow, while simultaneously putting their lives on the line for each other without hesitation. So it should come as...

I recently finished a months-long project to watch COWBOY BEBOP, the classic anime about a ragtag team of space bounty hunters getting into scraps from one end of the galaxy to the other.

SPOILERS BEWARE! When STAR WARS REBELS first started airing, I have to admit I was dismissive. Sure it pushed several nostalgia buttons, but it was a kids show.
