Charlie Jade Verse

There are far more Charlie Jade related videos on YouTube than I could have imagined, and this particular one is a gem.

It’s a music video montage created by CJ fan Sean, set to the song “Never Too Late” byThree Days Grace:

Featuring commentary by Robert Wertheimer on Episode 117, “Spin”.

Originally aired Space on 07/30/2005 in Canada, aired on SciFi Channel on 09/30/2008 in the USA.

How do you sneeze? You just let yourself. Maybe your head hurts because you don’t like seeing the invisible people. Like, it doesn’t ‘hurt to breathe, but f you hold your breath you’re going to get a headache and then you just have to breathe anyway. So just let it happen. - Jedi Jody

W00t! That’s right m’nerds. Charlie Jade can travel. Just like his brother in arms, 01 Boxer, you just add water and he and his sea monkeys go all fizzy and take off to parts unknown.

She scary? No. Shikari.

We open with Charlie lying in wait for Shikari, a genetically modified hunter-killer from Alphaverse. This is the first time we’ve ever seen Charlie scared of anyone, despite the decidedly un-scary appearance and behavior of the actress. She’s like Michael Keaton’s Batman, but even less so. Still, for the sake of the story we accept that she’s a badass.

Richard Porter informed me earlier today that the PopCritics website will be shutting down at the end of September.

While we will be losing what was fast becoming a fun site to frequent, Richard will continue with his Charlie Jade recaps being posted directly here.

The previous recaps and related interviews will also be posted here, in their entirety.

“You know how once in awhile you’re stuck in traffic and all of a sudden you remember a dream you’d forgotten, but for a moment you aren’t quite sure if it was a dream at all?” - Blues Paddock

In this slower moving, contemplative episode, it might not seem much really happened. After the fireworks of the last three weeks, this week is something of a pause, an interstitial between what we know and what’s coming. With a smooth, jazz-inflected soundtrack and many quiet moments between Charlie and Blues and between Sew Sew and Jasmine, this is the perfect chance to catch your breath and catch up.

Due to unforseen circumstances, the commentary for Episode 15 has been delayed.

When we have a commentary to post, we’ll get it into the feed ASAP.

Thanks for your support and understanding during this project!

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. - Exodus 23:22

After last week’s S&M lovefest between Charlie and 01, it was time to bring together Charlie and Reena. Here we are in episode 14, and the only interaction these two have had is a few seconds during the link explosion and one foot chase through Cape Town way back in episode 2, “Sand”. Reena’s been off on her own, being poked, prodded, shocked, beaten, and abused by everyone in Betaverse, but she’s been doing it on her own. Tonight, a first attempt is made to bring her into the fold.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
- 1 Corinthians 13:12

Alright. So last week was a bit of a feint. 01 didn’t give Charlie 12 reasons not to kill him. But he gave him one. One, excellent reason summed up by Karl: “01 Boxer, that sick bastard, has done more to hurt Vexcor than either one of us.”
