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.
You didn’t think there’d be this big a con without some Star Trek representation, did you? No way. This year’s ComicCon@Home virtual event will have a trio of Star Trek-related panels going during the week. Each will look at a different aspect of Star Trek, including iterations from the past, present, and of course the […]
San Diego Comic Con may not have a physical site this year, but it will certainly have an impressive virtual presence as ComicCon@Home continues to build momentum for this week’s action. Given that, if you have an interest in visual effects that go into shows like work like The Mandalorian, Borderlands 3, The Batman, God […]
After 10 episodes of Vagrant Queen, the concepts of family, trust and redemption have been fairly well implanted into the DNA of this show – as has fun. In part 2 of the season finale, “All Old Things Must Pass,” we are delightfully reminded that family, power and duty often make very uncomfortable bed-fellows. Treachery, […]
At long last we come to it, the two-part finish to the inaugural season of Vagrant Queen begins with Episode 109, “All Old Things Must Pass,” which gives us a lot of insight into how we’ve gotten to this point. Lazaro is going full Lazaro while Amae, Isaac and Elida are of one mind – […]
From time to time in a series you get an episode that confuses the viewer about what it’s purpose might be. And, on cursory inspection, that might be the case with Vagrant Queen’s episode 108, “No Clue.” It didn’t move the story along much, it didn’t really reveal anything vitally important to the ultimate goal […]
It has certainly been tough to watch our heroes struggle with the emotions of betrayal and hurt in the last couple of episodes, emotions that carry over to episode 107 of Vagrant Queen, “Sunshine Express Yourself.” The recent hurts are still there are as we begin the episode, but you just know that the mutual […]
I’ve seen a lot of fight scenes that I enjoyed – some bloody, some funny and some that didn’t quite hit the mark. Fortunately, episode 106 of Vagrant Queen, “Requiem for the Republic,” delivered some pretty fine group violence that featured all of the traits that I tend to enjoy in a banquet room brawl. […]
I’m torn about what I witnessed in this episode of Vagrant Queen. I mean, there were not a lot of positive and glowing moments in this one as deceit piled one upon another and the idea of trust completely swirled down the toilet. And then there’s freakin’ Lazaro, popping in at just the right moment […]
It’s hard not to like the sound of Adriyan Rae’s voice. There’s a gentle friendliness to it that invites you in and makes you instantly comfortable. It’s also a voice that offers strength, passion, and a joy for life and work that’s infectious. If you’ve caught Rae in her title role as Elida in the […]
At long last, our heroes have landed (with a thud) on the planet that Elida’s mom is supposedly being held captive on. Ah, but getting there is, as they say, half the fun, right? Well, in episode 104 of Vagrant Queen, titled “In A Sticky Spot,” getting there was kind of a wild and woolly […]
