In Act III, we follow Morpheus on a grand journey to take care of family business. He visits with his son Orpheus (Regé-Jean Page), an act that brings with it profound consequences. Accompanied by Delirium (Kristen Schaal), he tracks down their estranged brother, Destruction (David Harewood), the only member of the Endless ever to abandon their post. And at an inn at the intersection of all worlds, a group of travelers are forced together by a storm that threatens to destroy reality itself, with grave repercussions for Morpheus and the rest of the Endless.

Dream: The Lord of Stories
Revisado: 02-26-23
Act 3 continues a trend that I personally welcome, that is a shift to less of a linear narrative and to more a collection of stories within The Sandman Universe that have some reoccurring characters crop up in them.
The last part of the act reminds me of the style of short-story telling within a universe that I am used to from classical sci-fi and gives me that campfire feel in a way. I found the layered "let me tell you a story" story style worked, and I found myself forgetting how many layers deep I was. Might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
The music in this was amazing. I am excitedly awaiting a full soundtrack of "The Song of Orpheus." It gave me goosebumps. Maybe not the first time I heard it. However, at some later occurances, it fits well with the story.
My only note is that I wish we had seen a bit more Universe progress. There were some things revealed that hinted at a bigger story arc progressing, but it seemed a bit too small of a step for an entire act. Hopefully, some of the events in Act 3 will have a nice tie-in to later events in future acts.

In the 'fantasy' universe of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, everything runs on magic and common sense. The world is flat and million-to-one chances happen nine times out of ten. Our world seems different - it runs on rules, often rather strange ones. Science is our way of finding out what those rules are. The appeal of Discworld is that it mostly makes sense, in a way that particle physics does not.

Science and lies to children
Revisado: 01-24-15
Mostly focuses on the science of our universe, with a side of wizard shenanigans. Some rather heavy detail in the science part so you will need basic understanding science to get most of it. The wizards parts are classic Pratchett, and therefore very entertaining.
The narrators are excellent and Stevens does a good job performing the science parts while Briggs handles story.
Contains a balanced view of opposing scientific theories, and will forever be remembered for the "Lies to children" term.
