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.
Right out of the gate I have to note two mistakes I feel were made in Ep. 405 of Killjoys, “Greening Pains.” And I hope that these mistakes manifest a strong and dire response from those who have been wronged — as well as those who care about them. Mistake No. 1, the kidnapping of […]
At long last, we’ve gotten our first close-up taste of The Lady…and she’s (or It’s?) not to be trifled with. Episode 404 of Killjoys delivered all those little aspects of the show we love, including some very interesting moments that we’ll have to gnaw on a bit and see how it all tastes in the […]
There’s a lot to like about Episode 403 of Killjoys, including the return of Dutch and the feeling that Hullenized Johnny may have a chance after all. But my feeling about the episode can be summed up with these few words — anytime Thom Allison does a little singing, I’m all in, baby. LOL. On […]
What’s this? Johnny Jonesing for the green? And skirting the line of good-guy behavior in the process? Well, if you watched EP. 402 of Killjoys, that’s the only conclusion you could come to in an episode titled, “Johnny Dangerously.” And our young Johnny, nerd/geek extraordinaire, is now on the “sauce.” Gotta tell you, actor Aaron […]
The struggle was real, but so were the results and the crew of the Rocinante, as well as The Expanse executives, offered their thanks and a few little hints at what the show may feature in 2019 during a video presentation at San Diego Comic Con 2018. Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham, Dominique Tipper, Steven Strait, […]
Anytime you do a fun little riff on “The Princess Bride,” you know you’re traipsing into rarified air. But that’s what the season 4 opener of Killjoys did, delivering a long-awaited and certainly satisfying little twist with the episode titled “The Warrior Princess Bride.” Things have moved along nicely for our intrepid gaggle of characters […]
Let’s take a moment, have a deep breath or two, and ponder the glory that was the two-part season-finale for Season 3 of “The Expanse.” Was it me or did we get to experience two hours of tension, twists, turns and, ultimately, a successful extraction from the tentacles of The Ring? The end game was […]
You have to hand it to the creative hands behind The Expanse as EP. 311, “The Fallen World,” used the whole concept of zero gravity as not only the backdrop to the episode, but another character in the drama that is playing out inside The Ring. I don’t know if I can recall a show […]
Sometimes it’s useful to be reminded that those of us who love good sci-fi, love it for more than cool ships, daring adventures and battles in the far reaches of space. Sometimes, good sci-fi is a revealing conversation in the bowel’s of what feels like an impossible situation amidst an otherwordly backdrop. And that’s what […]
After the action of the last few episodes of The Expanse, EP 309 put the brakes on a bit as the pieces were moved into place for the next phase of what has been a stellar season thus far. “Intransigence” delivered a little more information about what The Ring entailed as the Rocinante opened a […]
