It's good light entertainment.
I love the EPU stories, though it took me a while - a couple years - to figure out why. Or at least to properly articulate it in my own head.
I mean...we all know the Undocumented Features stuff grew out of old self-insert crossover fanfics.
Thing is, the new stuff? It's still got the same vibe. "Ain't this cool", "The good guys are sooooo awesome", "Heroism always wins", and so on.
For the most part. It's built on the same notions...just...very well written. Very, very well written.
And that's not a bad thing.
I don't watch movies often. But when I do, I prefer to watch action flicks, or whatever's the big blockbuster movie of the time. Or comedies, comedies are always good.
I never go to see all those, y'know, art films. I mean, yeah, they're probably richer and more intellectually stimulating, but...hey. I want to be entertained.
And that's what EPU stuff does. The stories are cool. They're funny. They're populated by people who are cool and funny.
's good enough for me.
