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.
There’s something fairly beautiful in the chaos of plans not going to plan. Fortunately, The Expanse is one of those shows that continually delivers that kind of beauty – episode by episode. It’s one of the things that marks The Expanse, in my mind, as the taut sci-fi drama/thriller that it is. I don’t get […]
Oh, that was fun, wasn’t it? The season-ender of The Mandalorian had a bunch of different elements combining to deliver a story that had plenty of action, some fun twists, and unfortunately somber notes as well. In the end, a new chapter is about to begin. But what a wild ride we had to the […]
Sometimes, in order to have a chance to win the game, a big roll of the dice is just what you need in that moment. For actor Jake Stormoen and Die Hard Dice, that moment came via a cool T-shirt, a chance meeting, and bit of dreaming. And when those elements came together in a […]
Oh man, there’s a lot to unpack in these two episodes and the board for the season was set early. Now, the players are starting to move and it’s always so very interesting to see what motivates some of these people, as well as the situations that push their respective buttons. One thing is clear, […]
I’ll say it up front, I loved episode 7 of The Mandalorian. Not only did we get to see some familiar faces again, but ‘The Reckoning” put a sinister twist on things with a heavy dose of Imperial intrigue – and the introduction of a new baddie. Loved it. And as the penultimate episode, the […]
There you go. Mando got a chance to make some new friends, and see some old ones, in episode 106 of The Mandalorian. Titled, “The Prisoner,” this episode was aptly named as the game was to rescue a prisoner on a prison ship. Of course, as with much of The Mandalorian, the initial story isn’t […]
Gotta admit that it was like welcoming the return of long lost friends and family. The Expanse returned for its fourth season with a nice little bang on Dec. 13 with a new 10 episode season on Amazon Prime. It has been a while, but the things we’ve always loved about this show are still […]
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 […]
