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.
Wow, that was quite the season finale for season 2 of The Mandalorian, wasn’t it? Not the slam-bang massive cliff-hanger tension-filled season-ender, but the kind of finale that tugs at the heartstrings a bit while also offering a surprising bit of fan service and closure. Yes, Chapter 16 of The Mandalorian, “The Rescue,” offered a […]
The Expanse has always been an involved, somewhat dark series, one that probes not only the human condition, but the potential for humans in a much much larger context. It’s a show that hurts you and stretches your emotions as it provides a stark reminder that, even in space, the traits that make us less […]
Well, if Yavalla isn’t a god, she’s doing a pretty solid impersonation of one. That was one of the big takeaways from Episode 310, “From Paradise to Hell and Back,” as our two teams of “rescuers” converge on Yavalla’s stronghold and discover just how formidable, and popular, she has become. The Kinj parasites are changing […]
There’s nothing quite like a bad guy having his own, snarky and threatening words tossed right back at him. There’s an inherent malevolence and doggedness when someone who has been hurt or wronged utters the same words an antagonist had used when he thought he was in an unbeatable position of power. Mando took the […]
Well, at long last, the final Kinj shoe has fallen. And its kind of a biggie type of reveal, right? Episode 309 of The Outpost had a distinctly “set up” feel to it as a lot of interesting things were put in motion. It feels like an episode that was designed to kid of wheel […]
He waited, he waited….and then he pounced in the Chapter 14 episode of The Mandalorian – “The Tragedy.” In the end, Din Djarin did everything right, except hold onto The Child – and that should start a lot of interesting responses, and retribution, rolling forward. Can’t wait for it. Mando got Grogun to the planet […]
The more we discover about the Kinj on The Outpost, the more intrigued I get with questions that still are to be answered, or new ones that pop up. And for me, that makes for a satisfying viewing experience. Sunday’s episode 308, “Dying is Painful,” was more than satisfying given the little twists and turns […]
Well, there were certainly some fun reveals going on in The Mandalorian, Chapter 13, “The Jedi.” Mando’s hop to the forest planet Corvus not only led us on another fun and action-packed adventure, but delivered two things fans have been clamoring for since this all began – the arrival of Ahsoka Tano and the name […]
If episode 307 of The Outpost showed us anything, it demonstrated just how quickly things can change in The Realm. Yavalla makes her big play, a trio of our heroes seek to end the Kinj infection, and a new face infiltrates the Outpost with malice in his heart and enjoyment of deviltry on his mind. […]
We return to some familiar ground, and familiar faces, in Chapter 12 of The Mandalorian, an episode entitled, “The Seige.” The Mon Calamari patch job on the Razorcrest simply isn’t cutting it and instead of being able to head to Corvus in pursuit of finding Ahsoka Tano, our hero needs to find a place to […]
