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 freaks are more fun.” And with that, my adoration for Emperor Philippa Georgiou returned intact and with total joy. In fact, episode 203 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Point of Light,” delivered unto my waiting fandom arms two of my favorite characters from season 1 — Georgiou and Ash Tyler (replete with beard and man-bun). […]
New information, new players, and the lovely reunion of the Stone family highlighted episode 113 of “Manifest.” In truth it was not one of my favorite episodes of the first season, but it moved the story along and included some interesting twists and turns, including the unveiling of an 828 hate group. Interesting how people’s […]
There is a lot you could say about episode 202 of “Star Trek: Discovery,” but in watching, then re-watching the episode, I was struck not so much at the minutiae that is often the source of reviewer revelry and discussion, but by the wonderful old-school Trek feel of this episode, “New Eden.” And while this […]
If nothing else, episode 112 of “Manifest” gave us a fun little twist in the “Cal is missing” storyline. As suspected, Cal wasn’t abducted, he took off. But why? Well, as it turns out, Cal’s foray into the woods of upstate New York delivered unto we, the viewers, a nice little zig in the story […]
If the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s second season is any indication, we’re in for quite a fun ride in this show’s second season. We pick up a little after we left off last season with the Enterprise and Discovery coming nose-to-nose at last. Saru is the acting captain of the Discovery, Michael Burnham […]
Well, we sort of knew this was coming, didn’t we? It didn’t seem like too big a stretch to think that Cal was either going to wander off or be taken at some point in the season’s latter parts. And that’s how things ended for episode 111, “Contrails.” But boy, what an interesting way to […]
For all those who were enthralled by the performance of Michelle Yeoh in season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery, CBS All Access just made an announcement that should make the heartstrings flutter. CBS All Access has announced plans to further expand the “Star Trek” universe with a new live-action series in development starring Michelle Yeoh. […]
Well, if nothing else, the wait for the return of “Manifest” was well worth it in terms of some new developments, wasn’t it? Episode 110, “Crosswinds,” sees plenty of new plot developments blowing through the lives of our main Montego Air Flight 828 characters, including the introduction of the ominous-sounding character “the major,” and a […]
It would seem that putting an end to Dr. Kronish and his “cure” forever didn’t end well, even with season one of “Future Man” culminating with explosions, deaths and Josh Futterman in prison, accused of terrorism. Turns out, the funny and creative resistance work of “Joosh,” Tiger and Wolf didn’t help a damn thing. The […]
When all was said and done, when the blood had finished spilling and more of the Nighflyer crew had perished, Karl D’Branin got what he really wanted all along — first contact with the Volcryn. But I’m wondering if it really is ‘first contact’ in the traditional sense. After all, he’s “going home” and they […]
