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.
Backstory on our favorite characters is one of those things viewers tend to secretly crave. When we get it, it’s a bit of a thrill, isn’t it? And let’s face it, it’s even more enjoyable to find that the backstory reveals something that seems to run completely counter to that character’s current incarnation. We get […]
Backstory, backstory, backstory — how we love it so. Well, in Friday’s episode of Killjoys, “The Lion, The Witch & The Warlord,” we’re going to get a very interesting backstory from one of our characters, a backstory that will not only seem at odds with who the character is now, but one that is a […]
The reality that a new Star Trek offering is coming in the fall will be reinforced this week when Star Trek: Discovery makes itself felt at San Diego Comic-Con. Series stars Sonequin Martin-Green, Jason Isaacs, Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Mary Wiseman, Anthony Rapp, James Frain and executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Gretchen J. Berg, Aaron Harbets, […]
With each episode of Killjoys so far in season 3, doesn’t it feel like for every step Dutch, D’Avin and Johnny take forward in their hoped-for war with the Hullen, something develops that seems like two steps backward? Tough to get traction against the green goo, it appears. But they keep at it. So far […]
Friday approaches and that means that legions of Killjoys fans are wondering “What’s coming next?” Episode 303 of Killjoys, titled “The Hullen Have Eyes,” which gives us a little peek into what’s coming – and what’s coming will do what this show seems to always do – have us clamoring for more. The Hullen are […]
What’s better than a beloved sci-fi show with compelling characters and interesting storylines? A beloved sci-fi show that adds a fun arc celebrating the need for nerds, that’s what’s better. Fortunately, Ep. 302 of Killjoys, “A Skinner, Darkly,” delivers all of those components in a nice episode that not only pays homage to the nerd […]
You know what I like better than a good old cliffhanger of a season-finale? A season premiere that embraces that finale and drives you head first into a wild start to a new season. That’s what we got in the season 3 premiere of “Killjoys” on Syfy. Episode 301, “Boondoggie,” picked right up where season […]
For fans of the hit TV show “Colony” on USA, the chance to get up-close with one of the show’s stars is a tad surreal. Fortunately, the arrival of the combined efforts of Heroes & Villains Fan Fest and Walker Stalker Con in Portland in late June offered just such an opportunity. And I jumped […]
With the return of “Killjoys” just days away, the anticipation of what this unique gift to the sci-fi entertainment realm is starting to ramp up. And for me, it begins and ends with one simple question – where the hell is Johnny off to? If you remember, Johnny dealt with the death of his beloved […]
While season 2 of The Expanse continues to fade in the rearview mirror, I find myself asking questions about what went on this past season, and what might be possible in the future. The who, what, why, when and where of season 2 has been a fun exercise in rehashing what we saw while simultaneously playing out possible […]
