Behind the Iron Eagle

This post was inspired by a conversation I had with @tmithc_fanpage and my amazing #HighCastle friends on Twitter. We were talking about the multiverse and coming up with different worlds. We wondered how many would show up in Season 4 and if there was one ruled by the Red Army. This reminded me of the alternate history novel I never finished where, you guessed it, the Red Army conquered most of the planet. Enjoy the first two chapters for a look inside an alternate reality! Just in case this needs to be said...This is not a political excerpt. It is pure fiction. That's it. :)    ------------------------------

The End of the Worlds: High Castle at SDCC19

 “The ending is epic, it is conclusive, yet ambiguous, and delicately done.” – Daniel Percival * They released a clip from the opening of Season 4, which you can watch here: I’m going to paraphrase the quotes from the panel that intrigued me the most, and then I’ll dive right into my thoughts. Here's the link to the recap video on the official @HighCastleAmazon Facebook page. “At one point we see Helen at her happiest. We see the true Helen.”  “As you know, Kido has a wife and two sons. We get to meet one of his sons briefly.”   “Before the war she and her family were in segregated Alabama. After the Axis won, they were sent to a labor camp which became an extermination camp. She escapes and flees to the neutral zone.” The official synopsis: In the climactic final season, America will witness rebellion on both coasts as Juliana and Wyatt join forces with an emerging Black insurgency led by Bell Mallory. Takeshi Kido will be forced to reckon with t...

Summer Update

#HighCastle at SDCC is less than one week away! Who’s going to follow the live tweets with me? Okay, so I’m going to do my darndest to get better at blogging more often. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately: I made myself a new and improved website! You may have noticed my new domain on this blog - mlcartthings.me The old website was created in notepad with HTML and a dash of javascript. If I wanted to update anything, it was a royal pain, so it comes as no surprise that it was hardly ever updated, ha ha! When you want to get better at coding, making a website and following Microsoft tutorials is the way to go! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I finally decided to take a shot at selling my art on Etsy . We shall see how this goes! I spent Saturday painting my heart out for it. Here's to hoping for the best! https://www.etsy.com/shop/mlcartthings ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ In August...

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front!  High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle.   Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath ;) There will be a costume designers guild booth (#...
