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.
What’s better than a beloved sci-fi show with compelling characters and interesting storylines? A beloved sci-fi show that adds a fun arc celebrating the need for nerds, that’s what’s better. Fortunately, Ep. 302 of Killjoys, “A Skinner, Darkly,” delivers all of those components in a nice episode that not only pays homage to the nerd […]
You know what I like better than a good old cliffhanger of a season-finale? A season premiere that embraces that finale and drives you head first into a wild start to a new season. That’s what we got in the season 3 premiere of “Killjoys” on Syfy. Episode 301, “Boondoggie,” picked right up where season […]
For fans of the hit TV show “Colony” on USA, the chance to get up-close with one of the show’s stars is a tad surreal. Fortunately, the arrival of the combined efforts of Heroes & Villains Fan Fest and Walker Stalker Con in Portland in late June offered just such an opportunity. And I jumped […]
With the return of “Killjoys” just days away, the anticipation of what this unique gift to the sci-fi entertainment realm is starting to ramp up. And for me, it begins and ends with one simple question – where the hell is Johnny off to? If you remember, Johnny dealt with the death of his beloved […]
While season 2 of The Expanse continues to fade in the rearview mirror, I find myself asking questions about what went on this past season, and what might be possible in the future. The who, what, why, when and where of season 2 has been a fun exercise in rehashing what we saw while simultaneously playing out possible […]
Though they’ve had a little trouble getting out of space dock, the new Star Trek offering — Star Trek: Discovery — is starting to get its warp engines online. The first photo from the set of the new series was released through Entertainment Weekly and it offers us a look that is not only interesting, […]

The newest members of the cast are Shazad Latif, Rekha Sharma, Kenneth Mitchell, Clare McConnell and Damon Runyan is was announced this week.

Perhaps no one summed things up better during the season two finale of “The Expanse” than Naomi at episode’s end when she declared, “The Protomolecule is part of the equation and it will be from now on. We can’t change that. We can’t wish it away. Earth has it, Mars has it, and the Belt […]
From laser focus to a nice turning of the tables and some well-earned redemption, Ep. 212 of The Expanse delivered interesting twists and turns during “The Monster and the Rocket.” When it was over, we found Captain Holden doing the right thing to support Naomi Nagata’s “right thing” while others were doing their own twisted version […]
As I watched Ep. 211 of The Expanse unfold, I was reminded of the lyrics from an Iron Maiden classic when Bobbie Draper did the unthinkable, “Run to the hills, run for your lives…” Emotionally beaten down, the honor she thought was hers by duty and deed ripped asunder, she did something that was more […]
