"SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS" Done Right: Watchmen HBO
Dystopian Time Travel and Paranormal novels by Kristin McTiernan: https://amzn.to/3QMlH7F
People got so mad at HBO's Watchmen. Allen Moore denounced it. Fans trashed it. Rightfully so. But looking at it as an independent work, the show made some good decisions. For good reasons. Even still, the motivations were clear. How you feel about that is your business.

False Teachers: PRE-WOKE Christian Criticism from the X-Files
Read my paranormal and time travel mysteries: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kristin-McTiernan/author/B00XMBCXMM
The X-Files, on occasion, offered theological insight. In the days before it was expected to sneer at Christians, one episode took the time to call out false teachers, particularly "self-help" style preachers.

Believe all women? Lessons in YA Books for Girls
Read my PARANORMAL MYSTERY & TIME TRAVEL: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kristin-McTiernan/author/B00XMBCXMM
90s YA books really cemented that young girls were a reliable audience, with authors such as Richie Tankersely Cusick, LJ Smith, and RL Stine rising to the top. The tropes that frequently occur in these books form an interesting pattern of what young girls can expect from the world. It might explain a few things about the now 40-something feminists who grew up reading them.

Scrooged: The Best Christmas Movie (Reupload)

Morals in Fiction: How Stories Teach Us How to Be
Part of the reason I have devoted my life to helping writers improve in their craft is that fiction holds such power over us. Telling the truth through made-up stories is often the best way to make a moral lesson stick, particularly in young people who don't necessarily think their elders know anything. This month, I will be examining the works of fiction that partially molded my morality and values.

Nine Perfect Strangers: Book vs Show
Liane Moriarty's novel Nine Perfect Strangers was adapted into a Hulu mini-series that concludes today. The novel was slow-paced and took place largely in the characters' internal lives. The series... not so much. This video is my analysis of the changes in plot and character and its effect on the overall story.
