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.
The season finale for the first season of Star Trek: Discovery delivered surprises and a satisfying conclusion as things got very interesting for the Discovery crew on Kronos. “Will You Take My Hand” offered a little of everything, including a fun surprise at the end. Putting together a successful Mycellial jump into the caverns of […]
At long last the mercenary forces of William De Nogaret and King Philip made their play against the Templars. And a titanic battle it was, including a twist (though not a surprise) with Gawain taking leadership of the mercenaries as he squared off against his former brothers. The Knightfall season finale featured blood-soaked swords, splintering […]
You know how I knew Emperor Georgiou was going to be a key component in the Federation’s flagging war against the Klingons? When she stepped off the transporter pad and addressed Saru in a contemptuously delicious way by telling him to get on his knees before her and said to Burnham, “Yesterday we dined on […]
When the latest episode of Knightfall ended, I had two questions that nagged at me almost immediately — what did Landry’s mother tell Pope Boniface to make him do a complete 180 on killing Landry, and now that the Grail is out, how many times will it switch hands by the end of this season? […]
Well, that was interesting, wasn’t it? The Lorca conundrum was resolved at last, Burnham came to grips with betraying Captain Georgiou in both universes, and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery finally, happily got home — sort of. ‘What’s Past is Prologue” settled some of the questions we’ve had lately about the story arcs we’ve […]
At long last the Grail is found and headed to the Paris Templar temple, but there’s a series of storms brewing that will make the Grail the focal point of conflict and discovery even as William De Nogaret rises from the ashes to reveal a devastating secret. We’re at the penultimate point of season 1 […]
As it turned out, all Captain Lorca’s are not created equal — or even from the same universe. That’s right, the big twist in Episode 12 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Vaulting Ambition,” was that some how, some way, the Lorca from the evil mirror universe had inserted himself into the Federation’s universe with one purpose […]
The journey has been long, hard and, at times, seemingly impossible. But in the latest episode of Knightfall, “And Certainly Not The Cripple,” Landry’s hunt for the Holy Grail comes to fruition. In an episode with plenty of fun little twists and turns, Landry finds hope, possibility, the Grail, and….his mother? Yes, folks, episode 107 […]
Everything the crew of the Discovery used to be has been renovated and recalculated as they continue to search for a way out of this alternative, ultra-violent and suspicious universe. It’s not an easy feat to change your stripes, and like the tiger making that attempt, there are costs along the way — both physical […]
Through five episodes of Knightfall, we’ve watched the growing emotional agony of Temple Master Landry as he comes face-to-face with his own angst and hypocrisy. In episode 6, “The Pilgrimage of Chains,” Landry adds physical and psychological agony to the mix as he finally gets to “talk” with the Brotherhood of Light. And in that […]
