"There are things machines will never do. They cannot posses faith. They cannot commune with God. They cannot appreciate beauty, they cannot create art. If they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us, they'll be us."

Episode 12 and ...
What's new...? Life happens...
Please note: Last few months have been unexpectedly hectic. The "hectic" being an indication that I am a master of understatement. Mostly attributable to an excess of workload.
Hopefully, the circumstances look like clearing ahead and very soon the craziness may be over and I'll try to get back on track as soon as I can. It's possible that I'll release several episodes at once or at least withing short span of time, to make up for lost time.
The best way to get informed is to register, so I may be able to send you an email once the episodes are posted.
Update pending.
About release schedule

I need to address the release schedule, to preempt unwarranted expectations.
Despite having about 8 episodes worth (now 7) of a material in more or less final stage, it takes time to actually input and output it in the script format.
I was planning to release 4 scripts rather at once, with a couple of days in between, but the funny thing is that once the episode is in a script format... things that did not kick you in the butt start to crop up. I have a serious timeline screw up in the episode two, and it just jumped at me when I started to separate E01 and E02 material. And it influences the following episodes to a degree.

So, yes, some more work to be done. It is actually an unbelievable amount of work. If you think I am kidding you, ask CJ. I kind of had an idea that is the case when I started to entertain the notion that I may write next two seasons, but you don't know, really, until you jump into it. Sure, one can slap something together and hope for the best. But that is not may way -- for the sake of my own sanity, I need to have a high degree of coherency in the story. It may be a result of my professional deformation unrelated to writing (coding)--what have you--but that's that!
The second episode is thus a stumbling block. Hopefully, I won't have to retouch it too much, would not like losing some devices that connect the story on other than linear level. Will see, probably rearranging the segments may do the trick, with only slight rewrite to reforge the threading.
To avoid surprises of a similar kind, I'll give myself a week between the first 6 episodes to correct any logical or congruity errors that slipped in during the creative process. Then the following episodes would be released in approximately 2-3 week schedule. I'll try to keep the days in between as short as possible, but it has to be expected that my bread & butter ops may interfere somewhat.
As for season 6, I planned to take a sabbatical between the end of the F05 and start of the F06, but because of the delay with the F05, I may keep that break short and jump almost right away into it.
