Narrative Signals

Welcome to Narrative Signals, a channel exploring why science fiction, action, and genre stories resonate, inspire, and sometimes challenge how we see the world.

Broadcasting from the Cold Deck, a quiet post deep in the narrative void, we dive into character arcs, themes, storytelling choices, and the signals hiding just beneath the surface.

If you’re drawn to thoughtful storytelling, rich world-building, and stories that ask big questions, you’re in the right place.

It's a strange thing to really take in. Not just because it's a big number, but because of all the small steps behind it. Video by video, thought by thought, comment by comment.

To everyone who's watched, shared, liked, commented, and chosen to stick around... Thank you! Your support has carried this channel forward in ways you probably don't realize.

I'm genuinely grateful for every single one of you. And I'm really looking forward to what comes next.

We've always called it "the egg chamber". But if it wasn't inside the ship, who built it?

I just realized something embarrassing about my Jurassic Park video. Turns out I might have listened to a censored version of the audiobook, the one that cuts out Nedry's death scene entirely. That explains why I said it wasn't in the novel... and it really changes how that scene reads when you know the full version.
