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.
After a week off, we got back in the missing passengers saddle with “Manifest” episode 106, “Off Radar.” And while there was plenty of meat on the mystery bone in this one — Cal in the hospital, the Bulgarian search, relationship damage, black ops sites and a naughty giant corporation — perhaps the thing that […]
The door that “Star Trek: Discovery” kicked open is widening a little more with the announcement that a new animated Star Trek offering is on its way. Through the CBS All Access portal will now come “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” a 30-minute adult animated comedy from the mind of Rick and Morty head writer and […]
First and foremost let me say that I love backstory – love it. And in a wonderful mode of storytelling, the writers of Ep. 105 of ‘Manifest’ gave me a lot to like. Titled ‘Connecting Flights,’ which is a bit of a play on words for the episodes new mantra, “It’s all connected,” this episode […]
It would appear that time travel, or time loss, is appealing to television fans as NBC’s freshman effort, “Manifest,” has just gotten an order for three more episodes, bringing its total inaugural effort to 16 episodes. The show has become an instant hit and looks like it should be well on its way to a […]
Towards the end of episode 104 of Manifest, Ben Stone asks the question that seems to be more and more central to this show – should the passengers keep listening to “the calling” of the voices they hear and the apparitions they are starting to see? When Michaela Stone posits the theory that they don’t […]
Funny what a chance encounter can do to set feet on a path filled with dreams. Fortunately for Derek Robertson, the dream has become reality through hard work, opportunity and his own talent, culminating in the chance to churn out a pair of scripts for sci-fi fan favorite Killjoys. Robertson penned the wildly popular season […]
Forgive me if I sound an optimistic tone right now, but I think “Manifest” is starting to hit its stride. Episode 103, “Turbulence,” offered an intriguing collection of moments that, taken within the whole of the story, really opened up the show as we start to stretch toward the midway point. From the brain splatter […]
Let’s just call the Killjoys season 4 finale what it was — wildly satisfying and ominous. It would seem that for all the effort put into trapping The Lady in The Green, methinks she made it out, at least judging by the episode’s final scenes and the trailer for season 5. By the way, was […]
Well, to say I have a bone or two to pick with the Killjoys writers, showrunner and assorted other higher-ups would be an understatement. Killjoys Ep. 409 “The Kids Are Alright?” certainly lived up to its title, but in the process crushed my soul a little as we lost a couple of my favorites. Curse […]
Everyone has experienced the feeling of seemingly losing an hour or even a day. But NBC is taking the concept of lost time to a new level with its new show, “Manifest,” which will premiere Monday, Sept. 24. “Manifest” will look at the life adjustments passengers on Montego Air Flight 828 are forced to make […]
