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.
I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a couple weeks now. In “The Weeping Somnambulist,” Episode 209 of The Expanse, two ladies with very different motivations, but fundamental strength and understanding of honor and duty, get face-to-face at last. Martian soldier Bobbie Draper and U.N. bigwig Chrisjen Avasarala are two characters I’ve come to […]
There’s something that never grows old about seeing an apex predator do its thing in the world of puny humans. Kong: Skull Island offers many of the usual tropes inherent in monster movies, but also delivers more than enough new twists and turns on the King Kong genre to make this new offering entertaining and […]
Syfy Channel just made The Expanse fans’ hearts beat a little faster with the announcement that the popular sci-fi TV show will get a third season. The 13-episode new season will land sometime in 2018. “The Expanse is a gorgeous, thrilling, emotional series that has quite simply raised the bar for science fiction on television,” […]
There was certainly some betrayal in the air in this week’s Episode 208 of “The Expanse.” Twists and turns are nice, but there’s just something about naked, unrepentant self-serving opportunism that really makes an episode hum. And this week’s offering, “Pyre,” had some very nice examples of that. The event that brought so many people together only […]
To say I (and perhaps many) have been awaiting this moment in Colony’s season 2 would be a gross understatement. After watching Det. Bob Burke needle Will Bowman and deliver derision and smirks throughout the bloc since his introduction, we finally received some satisfaction from him. All thanks to an orange soda. In my mind, […]
This is not how Martian solder Bobbie Draper imagined it. Episode 207 of The Expanse is called “The Seventh Man” and gives us a big dose of Draper and the journey she takes after the battle at Ganymede. She discovers that what she thinks, what people want to hear and where the truth lies has […]
Given what’s gone on in the last two years, it’s safe to say that the “stars” are aligning nicely for sci-fi fans with a long memory and passionate devotions. A trio of Star Wars movies have come down the slot in that time span. Add to that a Star Trek movie and it’s clear that entertainment […]
And what did the latest episode of Colony deliver to its rabid fans in episode 208? Well, we found out that while Alan Snyder is a man with a plan, Governor General Helena had the best idea in the end – run. Katie is drawn back into the resistance with the revelation that humankind’s lifespan […]
With one potential disaster seemingly averted, the many unique personalities populating episode 206 of “The Expanse” begin to look to their own wants, needs and desires. Change is afoot in “Paradigm Shift,” which leads us down a path of differing priorities for just about everyone involved. When Eros and the asteroid it was attached to […]
Just a man, his nuclear device and the great unknown of an alien protomolecule awaiting his eventual arrival. For Joe Miller, Episode 205 of “The Expanse” certainly offered definition to the phrase, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” “Home” is the title of “The Expanse’s” Feb. 22 offering and as the episode moves along, […]
