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.
Like a long-departed friend that has at last returned, The Outpost finally came back into our waiting viewing arms with the first episode of its fourth season (or season 3B as the network likes to call it). And there’s no way to sugarcoat this – I thought it was the best season opener The Outpost […]
When actor Jake Stormoen looks back on the last 16 or so months, months that have included near continuous shooting on his show The Outpost (The CW), he admits it’s a bit of a blur. But with season 3B of this fantasy-adventure gem about to premiere, Stormoen is home at last and rediscovering what normal […]
It’s been a long minute since we saw the developments unfold in season 3A of the fantasy-adventure gem, The Outpost. The CW offering has taken many twists and turns since its humble beginnings, but perhaps more than anything else, it has grown and improved in the three full seasons it has aired. And now, with […]
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 […]
