Weyland Industries: Links Around the Community
The journey to bringing fandom together is not a straight line. Much like Peter Weyland himself, I’ve had grand plans since forming this blog. But success is not a straight line.

Hidden Gems: AvP: Requiem Bonus Features
I thought I would take a break from another Alien Covenant discussion, and try something else on for size.

Prometheus : 5 Years Later
On June 8th, it will reach the 5 year anniversary of the release of Prometheus (in the States at least, it released a week early overseas). This was the movie that changed everything for the better or for the worse, depending on your point of view. Until I slowly worked my way into the…
