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.
Well, I didn’t see that coming, did you? The final moments of episode 104 of “Resident Alien” were right out of the “that’s a twist” playbook. I suppose, upon further reflection, we knew so little about Harry Vanderspiegle that the thought he was married really didn’t pass into our consciousness much. And that little nugget […]
Three episodes into Resident Alien and Harry Vanderspiegle seems to be finding the navigation of the human experience, including a heinous crime of his own, quite the challenging exercise. Yes, the good people of Patience, Colorado are proving to be a little more challenging than Harry had been led to believe humans would be and […]
Hidden behind the falling off of chairs, toothpaste smeared across the face, and a wonderful non-verbal bit about eating a French fry, there was something else lurking under the surface of Episode 102 of ” Resident Alien.” It’s easy to see some of the physical humor that Alan Tudyk delivers and dismiss the show as […]
There are myriad “fish out of water” tropes running around in the land of TV and movies – some good, some not so good – but that interesting phenomenon has a fun little twist and smile-inducing vibe in the new SYFY Channel offering, “Resident Alien.” The show, set in a snowy little Colorado town with […]
It’s safe to say that the season 3A finale of The Outpost wasn’t one of the lightest and joy-filled finales I’ve ever seen. There was a darkness, a sadness that ran through this marvelous final episode that really pulled me in and fostered an even deeper appreciation for the guts this show likes to show. […]
Well, the gut punch of losing The Mistress in season 2 was replayed with heart-wrenching anguish in episode 312 of The Outpost. And I blame Executive Producer Dean Develin and the writers for it. Curse your creative, yet enjoyable, juices. Oh, I don’t wish to speak ill of Dean Devlin and his staff, but have […]
Ah, at last, the search for the Black Kinj has been fully entwined with the mystery of Talon’s father. Oh, how I have yearned for this very thing to happen and for the chance to clear up a boatload of mystery surrounding everyone’s connection to both – Kinj, “dad,” Yavalla, etc. I must admit, while […]
Wow, that was quite the season finale for season 2 of The Mandalorian, wasn’t it? Not the slam-bang massive cliff-hanger tension-filled season-ender, but the kind of finale that tugs at the heartstrings a bit while also offering a surprising bit of fan service and closure. Yes, Chapter 16 of The Mandalorian, “The Rescue,” offered a […]
The Expanse has always been an involved, somewhat dark series, one that probes not only the human condition, but the potential for humans in a much much larger context. It’s a show that hurts you and stretches your emotions as it provides a stark reminder that, even in space, the traits that make us less […]
Well, if Yavalla isn’t a god, she’s doing a pretty solid impersonation of one. That was one of the big takeaways from Episode 310, “From Paradise to Hell and Back,” as our two teams of “rescuers” converge on Yavalla’s stronghold and discover just how formidable, and popular, she has become. The Kinj parasites are changing […]
