![]() ![]() ![]() Writer Oseman, director Euros Lyn ( Doctor Who, Happy Valley, Cucumber, His Dark Materials) and the production team have created such a loyal version of the source material that if viewers just watch the Netflix show, they’re not missing out on any vast backstory or details. The important scenes from the first two volumes, from the ink explosion to Charlie and Nick’s day in the snow, Harry’s party, the birthday bowling, the disastrous cinema outing, the school concert and more, are up there on screen alongside new moments showcasing popular supporting characters Elle, Tao, Tara and Darcy. Fans of the comics – about a burgeoning gay romance between two British secondary school boys – needn’t worry about their favourite moments having been missed on TV. Netflix’s Heartstopper is a faithful adaptation of Alice Oseman’s web comics, doubtless thanks to the fact that Oseman herself adapted the series for screen. ![]()

Wonder Valley is a desert oasis nestled in the backcountry of California and yet, it is also a mirage – both corporeal and elusive. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His practical examples in his presentation helped his audience relate their existing modes of operation in their various fields of work.

In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party.

If Alecto is just an RB/construct of the 10 billion it doesn’t explain how she has a personality. But others, Possessed!Colum and the RBs we see, don’t. They think and feel and clearly have some level of an individual personality. ![]() Some, like Harrow and Teacher, have consciousness. We have multiple examples of “constructs” or what happens when multiple souls are reaped at once and shoved together. This theory doesn’t reject the AL is Earth’s RB idea. I can totally see meme loving John pulling something like that. It also works as an in-universe nickname, scientists love their cheeky self aware names (see Far-Eastern Blots, Shh gene, ChIA-PET). Muir loves her cheeky self aware names and “Al” as a nickname for an ai certainly qualifies. One thing I haven’t seen yet is that Al could be read as “a+i” as easily as “A+L” with a sans serif font. Smart ppl have already commented on the significance of Alecto/Annabell Lee/Annie Laurie/AL’s various names. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stormy Weather is an unforgettable, turbulent ride.

A seductive con artiste stumbles into a scam that promises more cool cash than the lottery. Stormy Weather centers on the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew.
