Don't Be Blue

Today is Blue Monday. Apparently the most depressing day of the year.

I wrote this list of suggestions of uplifting sci-fi to help you beat the blues. Between them that's a seven hour schedule that's sure to cheer you up, however Blue your Monday is.

Wild, Wild West

Sooner or later, most science fiction television series will dress up as cowboys and have a go at a western episode. The characters will swap space helmets, ray guns and uniform insignia for Stetsons, shooters and sheriff's badges. They mostly reach for and rely on the same set of Western tropes: main street shootouts, prison breakouts, drunk dentistry and the like.



I wrote this for Hero Collector about TV science fiction western episodes. What could be more Christmassy than that?

Bodyswapping Is Your Future

As a sort of follow-up to the article I wrote about Time Loops, I've written another about another common plot device used in science fiction: the bodyswap episode.

Two characters exchange bodies and learn a little more about how the other person lives, feels and is treated by those around them. It's a great device that can be used for comedy as much as for serious character development.
