Spent the last 30 years telling the stories of people, places and things I thought other people would find interesting. Rediscovered my nerd/geek karma late in life and get to write about that as well. Oh, also spent three decades as a high school/college coach (track, cross country and hoops). A passionate comic con enthusiast, sci-fi lover and enjoy alien invasion shows on the big screen and small.
I had made some assumptions leading up to the season finale of season 2 of Knightfall, “While I Breath, I Trust the Cross.” Some of them fairly obvious, others more involved, but I’m delighted to say that while I was on-point with some, the writers, actors, show runner and rest of the crew delivered a […]
I’ll be up front and honest, I did not see episode 206 of Knightfall unfolding as it did. I knew there’d be a siege, complete with yelling, screaming, and the clash of battle, but I never for an instant thought it would end with King Philip standing over Landry with a blade to his throat. […]
Well, Landry has been a busy Templar since getting re-instated to the order, hasn’t he? Last week he got to cross swords (flaming even) with Gawain and this week he throws down with Prince Louis. All he needs now is a good donnybrook with King Philip and he’ll have met and survived (we suppose) the […]
Talk about a non-stop visual treat. Star Trek: Discovery’s season finale – part 2 of “Such Sweet Sorrow” offered so much to enjoy that I watched it again, then again. Three times I hit the play button for a show that has delivered an entertaining ride where very few have gone before. And on the […]
There will be a second season of Manifest. NBC announced the news regarding its sci-fi drama Monday and that means the mystery of what “the callings” are all about will continue. Manifest got off to a hot start with fans, but cooled a bit as the season ran over its full 16 episode season. However, […]
At last, the testy face-to-face we’ve been longing for arrived in the latest episode of Knightall. “Equal Before God” delivered unto us, the fandom, the first clash of steel on steel between Landry and Gawain in a while. And to make it even better, Landry did a little flaming sword action to get things off […]
Star Trek: Discovery’s penultimate episode, “Such Sweet Sorrow,” certainly had plenty of that, didn’t it? Tears were spilled, goodbyes were said and the very real feeling that, as we head into next week’s season 2 finale, much of what we underwent this season is going to change in season 3. Personnel changes? Most assuredly as […]
Faith, and the struggle to keep it, has always been an undercurrent within the show “Knightfall.” In episode 203, “Faith,” that struggle is on full display, particularly the highs and lows within that struggle for several of our main characters. The high? Obviously, the bonding of Talus and Landry in the midst of the slaughter […]
Captain Christopher Pike got a glimpse into his future, a future that fans of the Star Trek world have long known would befall him. The burns, the paralysis, the wheelchair, all of it was in full living color in Pike’s minds-eye during Ep. 212 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Through the Valley of Shadows.” I have […]
I’ve said often in this space that I really enjoy backstory for the characters that intrigue me. Hence, a show that takes the time to give us backstory on its major characters, a backstory that illuminates some of who they are now, is a show that fills my empty entertainment cup nicely. And I got […]
