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.
From time to time in a series you get an episode that confuses the viewer about what it’s purpose might be. And, on cursory inspection, that might be the case with Vagrant Queen’s episode 108, “No Clue.” It didn’t move the story along much, it didn’t really reveal anything vitally important to the ultimate goal […]
It has certainly been tough to watch our heroes struggle with the emotions of betrayal and hurt in the last couple of episodes, emotions that carry over to episode 107 of Vagrant Queen, “Sunshine Express Yourself.” The recent hurts are still there are as we begin the episode, but you just know that the mutual […]
I’ve seen a lot of fight scenes that I enjoyed – some bloody, some funny and some that didn’t quite hit the mark. Fortunately, episode 106 of Vagrant Queen, “Requiem for the Republic,” delivered some pretty fine group violence that featured all of the traits that I tend to enjoy in a banquet room brawl. […]
I’m torn about what I witnessed in this episode of Vagrant Queen. I mean, there were not a lot of positive and glowing moments in this one as deceit piled one upon another and the idea of trust completely swirled down the toilet. And then there’s freakin’ Lazaro, popping in at just the right moment […]
It’s hard not to like the sound of Adriyan Rae’s voice. There’s a gentle friendliness to it that invites you in and makes you instantly comfortable. It’s also a voice that offers strength, passion, and a joy for life and work that’s infectious. If you’ve caught Rae in her title role as Elida in the […]
At long last, our heroes have landed (with a thud) on the planet that Elida’s mom is supposedly being held captive on. Ah, but getting there is, as they say, half the fun, right? Well, in episode 104 of Vagrant Queen, titled “In A Sticky Spot,” getting there was kind of a wild and woolly […]
The rescue plan of Elida’s mother hits full throttle as the target planet is Wix. It’s here that mom is being held (Or at least that’s the story), according to the loyalists looking to restore the monarchy. But a clandestine discussion overheard by Isaac may mean something else is afoot. Let the intrigue commence. Episode […]
Two episodes into the Syfy original, Vagrant Queen, and it’s clear that while there’s enough “tongue in the proverbial cheek” going on in this space offering, there’s also some serious messages and interesting story development. This isn’t a kid’s show, as the many moments of levity, fun one-liners and interesting creatures have to be measured […]
For my money, it’s hard not to like the vibe that a new SYFY offering delivers in a fun, outer space, coming-of-age kind of way. Vagrant Queen debuted Friday with an episode titled “A Royal Ass-Kicking,” and while there was plenty of that, there was a lot more. I enjoyed it. The focus is on […]
The world of Star Trek has always been about the search for our better angels, the walk of humanity and how that manifests itself when it bumps up against other life forms. In the season 1 finale of Star Trek: Picard, we are treated to so many warm and important moments – moments that took […]
