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.
Anytime you do a fun little riff on “The Princess Bride,” you know you’re traipsing into rarified air. But that’s what the season 4 opener of Killjoys did, delivering a long-awaited and certainly satisfying little twist with the episode titled “The Warrior Princess Bride.” Things have moved along nicely for our intrepid gaggle of characters […]
Let’s take a moment, have a deep breath or two, and ponder the glory that was the two-part season-finale for Season 3 of “The Expanse.” Was it me or did we get to experience two hours of tension, twists, turns and, ultimately, a successful extraction from the tentacles of The Ring? The end game was […]
You have to hand it to the creative hands behind The Expanse as EP. 311, “The Fallen World,” used the whole concept of zero gravity as not only the backdrop to the episode, but another character in the drama that is playing out inside The Ring. I don’t know if I can recall a show […]
Sometimes it’s useful to be reminded that those of us who love good sci-fi, love it for more than cool ships, daring adventures and battles in the far reaches of space. Sometimes, good sci-fi is a revealing conversation in the bowel’s of what feels like an impossible situation amidst an otherwordly backdrop. And that’s what […]
After the action of the last few episodes of The Expanse, EP 309 put the brakes on a bit as the pieces were moved into place for the next phase of what has been a stellar season thus far. “Intransigence” delivered a little more information about what The Ring entailed as the Rocinante opened a […]
Things are definitely getting interesting with The Ring, but as we all know the big news this past week was the revelation that Amazon owner Jeff Bezos negotiated his way into reviving The Expanse for at last a fourth season. The news was a thunderclap announcement to the show’s fandom and one that certainly shows […]
Last week I mentioned the season finale feel of episode 306 of The Expanse, and judging by what we saw in Episode 307, that sentiment was fairly accurate. We jumped ahead some months after the events of last week’s episode to find that not only had Saddavir Errinwright been jailed, the secretary-general had resigned, the […]
Before we look at this week’s episode, “Immolation,” a few thoughts on the elephant in the Rocinante lunch room. Syfy’s announcement that this season will be its last with The Expanse hit fans hard. While I understand the ratings and why those are important to a company’s bottom line, I was disappointed with the news […]
What exactly is “the work?” While feeling sorry for the rapid development of the protomolecule in Katoa and the pain he is undergoing in the process, he did spit out a little bit of a tease, Golum-like. Linked as he is to the protomolecule collective consciousness, he told Dr. Strickland and Jules-Pierre Mao that “the […]
In the world of entertainment, perhaps Burt Gummer isn’t a name that immediately jumps off the page to the random fan. But to those who follow the Tremors franchise, it’s a name that creates quite a stir. Gummer is an iconic character that actor Michael Gross has watched grow over 28 years and five movies. […]
