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.
At long last, The Expanse season 3 is nearly upon us. The new season kicks off Wednesday, April 11, and judging by the tingling vibrations from the social media reactions, it’s a development worth celebrating. As we look toward a new season, I’m taking a look back at season 2 and some of the questions […]
It’s easy to feel the commitment and passion Ron Randall has for a world he’s spent the last 30 years nurturing. But Mercy St. Clair and the world of Trekker aren’t simply work for the Portland independent comic creator, they are a love story that he’s tended to in a sci-fi garden he hopes to […]
The season finale for the first season of Star Trek: Discovery delivered surprises and a satisfying conclusion as things got very interesting for the Discovery crew on Kronos. “Will You Take My Hand” offered a little of everything, including a fun surprise at the end. Putting together a successful Mycellial jump into the caverns of […]
At long last the mercenary forces of William De Nogaret and King Philip made their play against the Templars. And a titanic battle it was, including a twist (though not a surprise) with Gawain taking leadership of the mercenaries as he squared off against his former brothers. The Knightfall season finale featured blood-soaked swords, splintering […]
You know how I knew Emperor Georgiou was going to be a key component in the Federation’s flagging war against the Klingons? When she stepped off the transporter pad and addressed Saru in a contemptuously delicious way by telling him to get on his knees before her and said to Burnham, “Yesterday we dined on […]
When the latest episode of Knightfall ended, I had two questions that nagged at me almost immediately — what did Landry’s mother tell Pope Boniface to make him do a complete 180 on killing Landry, and now that the Grail is out, how many times will it switch hands by the end of this season? […]
Well, that was interesting, wasn’t it? The Lorca conundrum was resolved at last, Burnham came to grips with betraying Captain Georgiou in both universes, and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery finally, happily got home — sort of. ‘What’s Past is Prologue” settled some of the questions we’ve had lately about the story arcs we’ve […]
At long last the Grail is found and headed to the Paris Templar temple, but there’s a series of storms brewing that will make the Grail the focal point of conflict and discovery even as William De Nogaret rises from the ashes to reveal a devastating secret. We’re at the penultimate point of season 1 […]
As it turned out, all Captain Lorca’s are not created equal — or even from the same universe. That’s right, the big twist in Episode 12 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Vaulting Ambition,” was that some how, some way, the Lorca from the evil mirror universe had inserted himself into the Federation’s universe with one purpose […]
The journey has been long, hard and, at times, seemingly impossible. But in the latest episode of Knightfall, “And Certainly Not The Cripple,” Landry’s hunt for the Holy Grail comes to fruition. In an episode with plenty of fun little twists and turns, Landry finds hope, possibility, the Grail, and….his mother? Yes, folks, episode 107 […]
