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.
Welcome back Star Trek: Discovery. And boy, did you toss some sweet storylines our way as you opened up the second chapter of season 1. The latest episode delivered unto us, the rabid fans, an alternate universe, a little more clarity on what’s up with Ash Tyler, Tilly fulfilling her dream of taking the captain’s […]
Well, episode 105 of Knightfall treated us to a full buffet of the machinations, calculations and manipulations that are William De Nogaret. While there was plenty going on in “Hard Blows Will Banish The Sin,” make no mistake about this hard truth – this episode revolved around the brilliance that is our scheming counselor to […]
While it may seem like forever since Star Trek: Discovery went on break after “Into the Forest I Go” on Nov. 12, fans won’t have to wait long for its return. The final six episodes to finish off the first season will begin on Sunday, Jan. 7, on CBS All Access. As you recall, Starfleet […]
Before we delve too much into episode 3 of “Knightfall,” I think it’s high time we sung the praises of an unsung hero through the first three episodes — the older initiate who has created virtually all the positive movement in the Grail search thus far. I don’t know the name of this character (someone […]
The reality that the Holy Grail may not be at the bottom of the sea, but located somewhere in France, drives much of episode 2 of “Knightfall.” But as this episode, titled “Find Us The Grail,” plays out, we see that there are others out there with an interest in the Grail. It would appear […]
It has been a great ride, lo these 50 years since Star Trek TOS first aired and sent our minds wandering through the stars with Kirk, Spock, Scotty and the gang. Since that time, there are been multiple TV series, a host of movies and new and passionate converts to the Trek world. And with […]
To say there’s been plenty written and discussed about the Knights Templar would be an understatement. But there’s still centuries of mystery surrounding the organization regarding their power, politics, purpose and wealth. The History Channel is offering their take on the Templar Order and it’s worth checking out. One episode down and I’ve bought in […]
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 […]
With an episode titled “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad,” it’s reasonable to assume that the mad-hatter himself, Harry Mudd would return to play his part in what ensued. And indeed, that blessing was realized as Rainn Wilson’s reincarnated Mudd character returned to torment Captain Lorca and the crew of the Discovery. I, […]
