‘Andor’ episodes 8-9 slows down to showcase oppression
By Ben Konuch
“Welcome to Narkina 5.”
“Andor” slows down its pacing in its eighth and ninth episodes, but for good reason. In these last two episodes, Cassian is taken to Narkina 5, an Imperial prison colony with unrelenting rules but decent conditions and a promise of release at the end of each worker’s sentence. Forced to work to exhaustion for twelve-hour shifts and compete against other worker teams, most inmates want to keep their heads down and get through their term, but ...

By Kathryn McDonald
Editor's note: This is the first of two articles analyzing this adaption of “All Quiet on the Western Front.” This article examines the movie as an adaption of the book, while the second examines its merit as a war film.
“This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even ...
A Future with Flying Cars
by Avonlea Brown
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… Flying car?
Flying cars have been making appearances in books and television since the early 1900s.
