The stories present creative reactions to (and often rejections of) classical narratology as it was put forth by structuralist narratologists, such as Gerard Genette and Gerald Prince. Several of the stories were also inspired by the work of current narratologists in the postclassical subfield of unnatural narratology, including Jan Alber and Brian Richardson, who examine non-mimetic narrative strategies in experimental fiction.

    August 2018 #46 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ New Fall TV Shows – the Good, the Bad, & the Too Bad By Steve Sternberg In today’s video world, the very idea of a fall TV season seems antiquated. For years, cable networks have debuted original scripted series throughout the year, most often in spring or summer when the broadcast networks typically air repeats or reality shows. OTT streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, drop new series whenever they are ready to go. But the broadcast networks still have the most and the highest rated original scripted series (The Walking Dead notwithstanding), so as long as they continue to premiere so many programs over a two-week period in September, the new “fall season” will be relevant. I’ve been analyzing television programming for roughly 30 years, and have seen many good pilots flop, but also more than a few lackluster pilots build into hits. Increasingly, however, the latter is harder to come by. Long gone are the days when a Miami Vice can start out slowly and become a word-of-mouth success over the summer. Or a Seinfeld can take three years to find an audience and grow into an iconic hit. Or an Everybody Loves Raymond can start out on Friday with low ratings, move to Monday and become one of the highest rated comedies on television. The TV landscape is simply too competitive. These and many other long-running hits would have been canceled today after just a few episodes. Let’s hope the networks have the fortitude to give shows they believe in but are not instant hits a chance to build.

    W. A. McCay Chains of Command While exploring a group of devastated class-M planets in a remote sector of space, the crew of the U.S.S. "Enterprise (TM) " is shocked to discover a group of human slaves on a forbidding, glacial world. When the slaves revolt against their human overseers, Captain Picard, and his crew sympathize with the slaves’ plight but cannot interfere in the conflict. After the revolt is a success, Captain Picard learns that both the slaves and the overseers were controlled by a mysterious bird-like race called the Tseetsk, who are coming to reclaim their property. With the time running out, the rebels kidnap Captain Picard and Counsellor Troi -- drawing the U.S.S. "Enterprise" into the middle of their deadly plan of vengeance. ( AS THE AWAY TEAM winked into existence on the planet’s surface, the luxuriant undergrowth stirred, riffled by a gentle breeze. Commander William Riker saw the leaves shiver in the gust, but he couldn’t feel it through his atmosphere suit. He glanced around. There was no sign of animal life in the pristine landscape. “No bugs,” he muttered. “Paradise for picnickers.” A laugh crackled in his ear. Riker turned and gestured impatiently at the other members of the team. “Let’s get on with the readings and samples.” He shifted uncomfortably in the suit. “Move, people, unless you want to spend your entire time planetside in these blasted things.” The young crew members burst into a flurry of activity, none of them eager to appear slow in front of their commander.
