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.
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 […]
To say that Syfy’s first five episodes of “Nightflyers” offered a dark and dangerous prelude to what comes next would be a classic understatement. The major players aboard the Nightflyer all seem to have some kind of intrusive issue they are dealing with as the search for first contact continues. What have we learned through […]
From the opening salvo that included a “The Shining”-esque vibe to the closing moments of EP. 1 of Syfy’s “Nightflyers,” this new sci-fi drama delivered a tense vibe that I have to admit got me hooked pretty quickly. Based on a novella from the pen of George R.R.Martin, “Nightflyers” got its season off to quite […]
Director Vance dead, missing passengers found, relationships breaking, relationships rekindling, and a whole lot of confusion about what comes next. All-in-all a pretty full closet of actions and consequences in the mid-season finale of “Manifest.” It was, in short, a helluva ride. “Manifest” writers and actors, you have my thanks. And with that explosive (literally) […]
I called it last week and all my dreams would appear to be coming true as episode 109 of “Manifest” delivered further confirmation that Ben Stone and Director Vance are in this thing together. The bromance (which we’ll call “Stance” or perhaps “Bance) began brewing last week and came to a boil in an episode […]
I told you Director Vance was going to start coming to light. His curiosity has been piqued by Ben Stone and the more he spies on Ben and his movements, the more he’s lured into the belief that there’s “off the books” at work in his midst. And he’s not down with that. I’m delighted. […]
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 […]
