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.
It’s hard to believe as I write these words that there are only two more episodes to go in the lifetime of The Outpost on The CW. The recent announcement that this will be the show’s final season landed with a thud on the fan base, though I suspect many of us knew it was […]
Man, you can’t say the creators of The Outpost aren’t keeping us on our toes in season four. The plot turns are coming thick and fast and it is clear that no one is safe from the writer’s red editing pencil. And so it was in episode 408, “The Pleasing Voice of the Masters,” that […]
One of the things that I’ve grown to really like about all those involved in the making of The Outpost is that they aren’t concerned with sparing our feelings or punching us in the gut. It’s often surprising and unpleasant, but that air of uncertainty — that anything can happen to any one of the […]
Some mighty strange goings-on for our heroes in an episode titled, “All We Do Is Say Goodbye,” which it should be noted was directed by our former queen, Immy Waterhouse. And what Immy crafted for us in the sixth episode of season 4 is one with plenty of drama, yet more unanswered questions, and a […]
As the title to Episosde 3B05 of The Outpost so succinctly states, “They Bleed Black Blood.” An interesting turn of events in this week’s episode. The curious case of the Skevikor seems to be coming a little more into the light even as Falista continues down a path that seems clearly destructive. My annoyance with […]
I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that this season of The Outpost has dialed up the intensity and darkness a bit from previous seasons. There’s a vibe to this season that feels more serious, more threatening, more malicious than in other seasons. There’s also been a healthy amount of guilt added to the pie. […]
Is there any greater tribute to The Mistress than her boy Janzo opening a speakeasy in the Outpost? I mean talk about the apple not falling far from the tree. When The Outpost went “dry,” the opening of an underground establishment is exactly the thing The Mistress would have done to keep the coin flowing. […]
It didn’t take but a few moments to realize that Paramount+ is upping the Star Trek animation game a notch or two during a panel at Comic-Con@Home 2021. The virtual panel got off and running in a big way with appearances from the cast and crew of Star Trek: Prodigy. While the new offering, which […]
It has been a long time coming, but the new animated iteration, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, has hit the Netflix queue to take fans of the original, as well those looking to make a new discovery, back to Eternia. To celebrate the July 23 debut, creator Kevin Smith hosted a panel called “Netflix Geeked: […]
It’s interesting to me that with so many salty operators within its walls, that the latest episode of The Outpost would have so many naive, reactionary moments within it. But that’s what struck me about episode 3B02, “A Throne of Your Own.” And in the end, a small tide was turned by a man who, […]
