Excuse me as an old woman gets all emotional over what started as a children's show, which I watched as a child.

A part of my life, and like most things in life, there were good and bad moments in it.

Today to celebrate the Jubilee holiday..

I am going to refute this quote:

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

― W. Somerset Maugham Here are the three rules to writing... ;-)

1. Do what works – corollary you have to learn what works.

2. Don't do what doesn't work – again one has to learn this.

3. To be a writer one needs to read – reading is learning, writing is practice.

I'm now going to defend The Tomorrow War by dismantling the criticism I've seen on Twitter. Wish me luck.

Rule number of of time travel paradox movies is that it's a paradox.

As such the ending will always seem contradictory. At the beginning of the story, travelers arrive from the future and announce they are the few remaining survivors and blah, blah, blah.

Notice that the story think skips forward by a year.

That's important.

Also remember that time continues to flow.

As long as you realize this is just an opinion, okay. As soon as your opinion becomes, you're all racists for not agreeing with me, then you're wrong. There seems to be a belief that reading books with bad things in them (killing, racism, and fascism etc.) leads to people becoming killers, racists, and fascists etc. 2/10
