Part 1 of a series on Sci-Fi and Fantasy stories. We're going to dive into the lore of these works of fiction as we analyze the characters, spot the themes, contemplate the allegories, and mold the motifs (probably, who knows!) Join me on my quest towards all things incredibly dorky, sometimes nerdy, a bit goofy, yet always doinky! 

Part 1 of 4? maybe 5? depending on how much time I have to spend on these subjects.
