    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 13 "Acute Triangle"

    Irrelevant nit-picking: Peter is the actor's name. The character's name is Jean Paul. It's funny, but I think Jean Paul suits him better and makes him sound less ordinary.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 13 "Acute Triangle"

    Well, Brimfin, it's been an honor and a pleasure to have you in the group. It's unfortunate I only got to read your farewell message now, but better late than never I guess. I'll send you a more thought-out reply soon, just so you know. And I really would like to read your final by-the-numbers...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 13 "Acute Triangle"

    ACUTE TRIANGLE This was a typical by-the-book sci fi episode: a man tries on an artificial wife (some robot variant) and eventually realizes there’s no substitute for the real deal. Once again, “Welcome to Paradox” tells the story that’s been told countless times. However, I think in real life...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 12 "Options"

    OK, from what I remember, this was the bizarre one. Back in the day, issues involving sexuality were not common on mainstream science fiction, perhaps, at best, they would be dealt with in a queer literature subgenre. Consequently, this episode left a marking impression, but it wasn't an...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 11 "Into the Shop"

    Did a sloppy systems engineer spill coffee in your systems? You got the names wrong. It's James Otterson and Diane Marmon. So this week, we had the regular and tired "humans have too much faith in technology and pay a heavy price for that," law enforcement edition. It doesn't help that things...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 11 "Into the Shop"

    Link is on its way. My problem is that when I try to upload new episodes to my Google Drive, the connection usually gets interrupted, and when it finally uploads something, I can do nothing else on the Internet. This is why it's best for me to upload it at night when I'm no longer using the...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 10 "All Our Sins Forgotten"

    I remember this episode as one of the good ones. One of the things that called my attention back in the day was the fact the characters had names of countries (Brazil, Rwanda) and the doctor looked like a football quarterback. When I think of the situation depicted in this episode, I can...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 10 "All Our Sins Forgotten"

    I asked if you wanted me to postpone episode 10, but as far as I can see, you said nothing. So I assumed, that was not important to you and, as there might be other reviewers as well, I decided to maintain things as they normally would be.

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

    Well, the public selection process I took part of just asked for high school education, but most people who apply for these positions have much more than that. I have a long experience as an ESL teacher, which is coming in handy now. The coordinators and principal in the school did mention that...

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

    I did learn back then, but I forgot everything. IMDF, on the other hand, has very convenient tools, so you can easily do that from the tool bar.

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

    Basically I'm sort of a tutor of a child with cerebral palsy in a public school. I'm in part his teacher and caretaker. Curiously, I was only appointed to the position because the parents won a law suit against the state demanding special services and resources for their son, who has special...
