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 don’t know what it is about the Victorian Era, but it’s such a good setting for all hell breaking loose. Perhaps it’s the stuffiness of the upper crust, or the sadness and despair of those on the bottom looking up, or just the simple notion that underneath that class oppression is a steamy underbelly […]
For the Star Trek fan that needs more, more, more, you’re going to get just that. Gates McFadden, who played Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: Next Generation, will debut her new podcast InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? through NacelleCast’s podcast network on May 12. The company recently opened NacelleCast Studios, a state-of-the-art podcast studio next […]
It had been whispered since the first episode of Star Trek: Picard flickered across the screen. Those whispers grew more excited and hopeful as the season progressed and faces from Jean-Luc Picard’s past began showing up in episode after episode. And as we learned that there will be more Next Generations connections coming in season […]
In the end, Harry Vanderspiegle – resident alien of Patience, Colorado, couldn’t (or wouldn’t) let his doomsday device obliterate all of humanity. But to get to that point was quite the ride, wasn’t it? The season finale of Resident Alien (“Heroes of Patience”) showed us just how much humanity had seeped into the heart (hearts?) […]
Okay, right out of the gate I’ll make no secret that in the world of “Kung Fu,” I am a purist. To me, this franchise will always resonate with me via David Carradine as Kwai-Chang Caine. So, for that reason – that bias, I was a little apprehensive about digging into the premiere episode of […]
The recently-released feature-length documentary, “Woman In Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of NASA,” chronicles the inspiring, untold story of how Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols transformed her sci-fi television stardom into a real-life science career. In 1977, she embarked on a campaign to bring diversity to NASA. Nichols formed the company Women […]
If there’s one trope I like, it’s the trope that dropped like a gift from heaven into my viewing arena in the penultimate episode of SYFY’s delightful comedy/drama, Resident Alien, which was recently renewed for a second season. That’s the kind of “hell, yes” news we like to hear about. Episode 109 took us on […]
Did that octopus in the aquarium seem to have a familiar voice? Perhaps captained a Firefly class ship somewhere in the ‘verse in a time down the road? Mmm, I got the strangest feeling I’d heard that voice before in something of an authority role. It was just one of a myriad of interesting bobs […]
Two episodes into Debris on NBC and I can sense there’s this understated tension running through the episodes. I don’t find this show dialog heavy, but heavy on uncertainty and a sense of confusion. It’s fun. Agents Finola Jones and Bryan Beneventi continue to step into an alien mess with each episode and I have […]
Turns out, Episode 106 of Resident Alien (titled Sexy Beast), wasn’t filled with the finest moments for our alien-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspiegle. His work towards understanding humanity while plotting its demise took several odd roads as the episode moved forward – and I’m hard-pressed to think of one of those roads that was a positive one. […]
