The Witcher
Geralt, The White Wolf, tackles monsters, mages, and all other manners of creatures fighting evil… lesser, greater, middling. It's all the same. If I have to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.

Books
The Lions of Lucerne
This is the first book in the Scot Harvath series and it shows. The book shows an age to the style of writing as well as the research on terminology. I know the author got some heat in that in this book and has since made changes to correct those.
TV
Secret Invasion
Look lets be honest. This show did not do well and for good reason. It was entertaining, but was all filler episodes for the next big movie. They should have left it as a movie like it was originally pitched, because the TV show did not do it.
Books
The Republic of Pirates
There are some really interesting stories that happened and the people that you follow in the book are some big names, most I know/recognize from Assassin's Creed Black Flag, but also some that you probably have never heard of. Minus of course the pirate nerds... there has got to be at least one
Movies
Kandahar
I know that I originally thought that this was going to be a closer plot to The Covenant, but I was so wrong. While yes it is about the translator and their ability to know the area, but nothing close to same depth of that story.
Books
Ordination
I am going to call this the surprise of the year. I expected this book to so different from what it was and could not have more wrong. Allister is a great character as are most of the main characters. This book's biggest issue for me is the lack of coherent world
Movies
Clear and Present Danger
This movie did not age well. The Jack Ryan series just finished when I watched this and with that in mind I was showing my wife other Jack Ryan movies and this was the first one on the list because the scene of the sniper doing the stalk showed up on social media so I wanted to watch it.
Books
Think Like a Rocket Scientist
So I really enjoyed this book and the stories that are presented. In general the principals that he presents are reminiscent of items you probably have heard previously in others books, but the stories behind them make this book worth reading.
Movies
Air Force One
This movie is weirdly entertaining and has really held up over the years. The fights, not so much. The story really does make cohesive sense and the cast is a powerhouse. I mean Gary Oldman is there playing a fantastic bad guy.
Books
Black Order
The Sigma team books in general follow the same pattern and this one is kind of funny that it references Zero point energy (ZPE) which I recently learned about in Unacknowledged. The story overall does a great job of working through all the items that it introduces.
Movies
Leave the World Behind
Ok I finished the movie and they are all way wrong so much so that even tell you that isn't spoiling the plot at all. The biggest reason they are wrong is because the movie finishes half way though. A "One sentence review" = "A cyber/dystopian Swiss Cheese that sprinkles in steroid injected animals"
TV
Boy Meets World
I have watched this show probably a dozen times in my life and as I am writing this, I think I see this show COMPLETELY differently than I ever have before. Even with that I think some of the overall lessons are still great and wholesome
