    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Well, as I mentioned, I've started a new job and that turned my schedule upside down. But now I know what little extra time I'll have and when, so things will remain more regular now. By the way, let me know if you want us to take a break from new episodes next Friday so you can catch up with...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    This one has brought lots of those elements I have problems to connect with, such as the totalitarian institution, the one rebel fighting for his humanity and individuality, unnecessary discipline, the purge of emotions. This kind of thing was cool in the 1984 novel, but after a while they...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 8 "The Extra"

    Well, that worked for me. A lot! (First, I'm sorry I've delayed my review for so long, but I started a new job and I'm overwhelmed. I just have extra time on the weekends, so I had to wait until Saturday so I could rewatch the episode and give my impressions.) This is one of the good ones, one...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 7 "The Winner"

    Oh, the 1990s... When if you had a convict as a character, you could cast a Black man for the role and get away with it. Now that kind of choice would be just too controversial, even for an actor who was so identified with the "gangsta" style and made his public image by flirting with both sides...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 6 "Blue Champagne"

    He's one of those actors we've seen everywhere but have trouble to pinpoint where exactly.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 6 "Blue Champagne"

    This is one of the good ones I remember from back in the day. When a story calls your attention and you still remember the punchline of the cosmic joke so well, it shows the story has staying power and a hell of a punch. Basically, we have the story of a man who falls in love, and is loves back...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 5 "Research Alpha"

    His working space did feel cluttered, like a busy corridor with random stuff in it. That "board meeting" installation with stone children around a board meeting table was weird, and we found those weird statues everywhere. But in defense for the Paradox fashion, I think they did a good job in...

    Well, well, I'll be damned! It saves me the work of uploading episodes. Never underestimate the power of piracy and illegal uploads! Materials always find a way to YouTube. Thanks for the link!

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 5 "Research Alpha"

    From what I remember there were at least two or three episodes I originally felt were creative and innovative. But apparently I've forgotten the duds. This one, for example. Well, let's take it apart and see what's salvageable. Our two main antagonists had different approaches to...

    Ha! My father's an accountant too. For all of the accountants in the world, here's a classic Monty Python sketch.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 4 "News from D Street"

    For once I'd like to see a story in which "everything and everyone is what they seem to be," just for a change.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 4 "News from D Street"

    That was an enjoyable episode with a classical sci-fi theme. It brings several of those tropes hardcore fans never get tired of: film noir, VR, a hard-boiled detective, a beautiful woman with a dubious agenda. And considering the protagonist's ethnicity, at times I thought I was watching a live...

    It's interesting to see what appeals to some people and not others. I'm glad someone liked this one better.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 3 "Alien Jane"

    My first reaction was that this episode was the weakest of the three we've seen so far. After some consideration I feel my opinion has improved a little, but I still think it leaves to be desired. Let me approach a few points. - The title - In the DVD order the episode is listed as "Alien...
