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.
You know, when Captain Lorca and Lt. Stamets agreed that Stamets was good for one more jump, you sensed that the trip to Star Base 46 wasn’t going to go as smoothly as everyone hoped. Star Trek: Discovery’s finale, “Into The Forest I Go,” looked like it was going to end on a somber note […]
And here was are, eight episodes into Star Trek: Discovery and the Trek fandom continues to dissect and examine the show at a healthy rate. It’s good fun and a healthy sign for this new offering as we look at the newest episode, “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,” a Latin adage that translates to “if […]

After staring each other down for a bit, the heavens erupted in battle as the Klingons and Federation delivered the opening salvo in a war that promises to be a major backdrop to the remainder season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery.
