Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were a reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
Last time we saw Quaid get attacked (and given black and blue balls) by his not-wife and dragged off after having to decide which lie of his life is actually technically true.
How was your day?

If you don’t know by now that I’m a fan of Godzilla, you really aren’t paying attention…on purpose. Well take the fingers out of your ears because this is text and that won’t help anyway. Also, it’s important for this article. The thought’s been in my head for a while but it was a recent comment in BW comrade Matt Burkett, as part of his Monstrosities series on YouTube, that made me decide to make an article of it. The video I’m about to show you is his early thoughts on the in-production second attempt at a US Godzilla. Pay attention to the last argument he makes because that’s where this rant gained life. It’s about how love for the classic Godzilla (or Gojira if your that person) has obscured just what made the King of the Monsters a cultural icon worldwide, and it has to do with those other movies some people want to write off.

Why would someone cancel one of their most popular TV shows, a show that was not only a cultural symbol in its native country, but a hit worldwide, including languages other than the native one? Well, that’s what happened when a couple science-fiction hating programmers worked to cancel Doctor Who. However, as SFDebris’s Charles Sonneberg discovered for his special “Cancelled!” episode, there is more to it than that, including some bad decisions (and surprisingly even some of his good ones) by showrunner John Nathan Turner. Watch Charles’ presentation as he attempts to separate fact from rumor. And if you watch it you’ll see the real reason why Colin Baker’s image was used for the image for this posting.
