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 not to get a feeling of wonder throughout the run time of Dune, as director Denis Villeneuve clearly thought that no matter what, the cinematography needs to be spectacular. Consider Villeneuve’s goal achieved as this new offering of Frank Herbert’s colossal written work is often visually spectacular while it tries to tell a […]
It’s hard to believe it’s over. After four seasons and 49 episodes of homemade fantasy-adventure goodness, The Outpost has aired its final episode. Oh, the cast and crew have long gone on to other things, having wrapped filming many months ago and most assuredly gotten advance notice that this season was the final one, but […]
This is going to be somewhat brief compared to my other looks at single episodes of The Outpost. The series’ penultimate episode, “The Betrayer,” did a lot of setting the table for the season finale next week, but along the way also provided some interesting perspective on these wonderful characters we’ve been following for 49 […]
There’s always a little trepidation when you hear that a TV network or movie studio is going to dip into your personal pantheon of entertainment favorites for a reboot. It’s the kid of news, when it concerns a beloved classic of some kind, that makes you sit up a little straighter and start to look […]
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. […]
