2026 Recommended Books/Stories/TV/Movies

 



Yes, folks, it's that time again. I must make a list and check it twice, so as to find out who's been naughty and nice.  

Short Story

I've started subscribing to The Deadlands, and the very first issue, Winter 2026, has a banger of a story. "You Build Your House On Your Father's Corpse," by Sadoeuphemist, is a surreal exploration of death and parenting.




I didn't expect too much from  Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, wondering if they perhaps should have titled it Star Trek 90210. I have been pleasantly surprised, as this season has had a four-episode (so far) run that has made it worth the price of admission. The four episodes are "Vox in Excelso," "The Life of the Stars," "Series Acclimation Mil," and "Come, Let's Away." I think my favorite of the bunch is "The Life of the Stars," an absorbing and emotional examination of coping with trauma, set to the students' performance of the play Our Town. Robert Picardo shines in this episode.
