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.
Talk about treading some familiar ground. Episode 105 of The Mandalorian, titled “The Gunslinger,” took us back to a familiar place. And I, for one, enjoyed our little walk down memory lane on the planet Tatooine. And on that lonely husk of sandy space junk, The Mandalorian got a chance to demonstrate some of those […]
Yes, December is dawning, but there’s still time to get the gift that keeps on giving at warp factor 7 – for someone you care about or just something you want to put in your own stocking. Star Trek Christmas gifts are that rare “something special” that let’s the nerd revel in Kirk, Spock, L’Rell, […]
You knew it wasn’t going to be that easy, right? The chance to find a home for Baby Yoda seemed to be within The Mandalorian’s grasp. Unfortunately, it was not to be as our wandering baby-sitting bounty hunter learned soon enough that he and his ward leave a big wake – and there are plenty […]
Well, you could kind of sense something like this was going to happen when The Mandalorian got his first glimpse of Yoda Jr., didn’t you? Tie that in with those flashbacks to the death of his mother and father (we assume), and some furtive glances and interesting questions, and Chapter Three: The Sin, proved to […]
Well, well, well, our little Yoda baby (hence to be referred to as Yoda Jr.) would seem to have some special powers – some force-like powers. Which begs the question, is he a chip off the old block or some new face with some old powers? There’s a lot of speculation going on about that […]
Looking through the queues of movies and old TV shows that are now available on Disney+ can be a bit daunting. There’s a ton to get through and you wonder when the streaming service is at full strength if it will be a bit overwhelming. But that’s the future. For those of us looking into […]
It only took a few minutes into the inaugural episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+ to realize that Star Wars can and does work on the small screen. The Mandolorian opened Tuesday on the new Disney streaming service and delivered just short of 40 minutes of something new tied to something old and dear – […]
November 12 can’t come soon enough for Star Wars fans (and sci-fi fans in general) eager for their first look at “The Mandalorian,” the live action TV show that will drop on Disney+ and take us to new worlds and stories. While the first episode is still days away, “The Mandalorian” just gave us a […]
There was a collective sigh of relief this week when The CW announced that it was renewing “The Outpost” for a third season. The news, which was announced by Executive Producer Dean Devlin, cast and crew in a series of tweets and social media posts got the Blackblood faithful fired up and ready for more. […]
If there was one lasting impression from this past weekend’s New York Comic Con, it’s that the Star Trek franchise is still plenty strong and still delivers plenty of excitement to a passionate fan base. This year, NYCC pulled off a Trek double, delivering not only a trailer for the new Picard series, but doubling […]
