Ursula K. LeGuin’s A Wizard of Earthsea.
A bit of worldbuilding
The first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Maid and Butler Dialogue
Beta-readers and the dangers and benefits of focus groups
Like “I am Legend”‘s original ending and stupid ending
Prophet again
Omega Man, the first “I am Legend” movie
And text versus pictures! Also:
