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.
Season two of Project Blue Book takes us to ground zero of the extraterrestrial question – Rosewell, New Mexico. What a great way to open the second season of this fabulously interesting show on History Channel. But the trip to Roswell isn’t because of something new as much as it is about reminding General Harding […]
The season 4 finale of The Expanse was a wonderful melting pot of all that makes this series so compelling – and at times frustrating (but in a good way). For all the positive vibes that episode 10 thrust our way, there were certainly an equal number of unsettling developments that leave you wondering what […]
After viewing these three episodes back-to-back, I decided that they all played such an interesting role in moving The Expanse along in its fourth season that I’d meld them into one review that kind of encapsulates the whole, rather than break them into bits. The Expanse hasn’t lost a dang thing, in my estimation, with […]
There’s something fairly beautiful in the chaos of plans not going to plan. Fortunately, The Expanse is one of those shows that continually delivers that kind of beauty – episode by episode. It’s one of the things that marks The Expanse, in my mind, as the taut sci-fi drama/thriller that it is. I don’t get […]
Oh, that was fun, wasn’t it? The season-ender of The Mandalorian had a bunch of different elements combining to deliver a story that had plenty of action, some fun twists, and unfortunately somber notes as well. In the end, a new chapter is about to begin. But what a wild ride we had to the […]
Sometimes, in order to have a chance to win the game, a big roll of the dice is just what you need in that moment. For actor Jake Stormoen and Die Hard Dice, that moment came via a cool T-shirt, a chance meeting, and bit of dreaming. And when those elements came together in a […]
Oh man, there’s a lot to unpack in these two episodes and the board for the season was set early. Now, the players are starting to move and it’s always so very interesting to see what motivates some of these people, as well as the situations that push their respective buttons. One thing is clear, […]
I’ll say it up front, I loved episode 7 of The Mandalorian. Not only did we get to see some familiar faces again, but ‘The Reckoning” put a sinister twist on things with a heavy dose of Imperial intrigue – and the introduction of a new baddie. Loved it. And as the penultimate episode, the […]
There you go. Mando got a chance to make some new friends, and see some old ones, in episode 106 of The Mandalorian. Titled, “The Prisoner,” this episode was aptly named as the game was to rescue a prisoner on a prison ship. Of course, as with much of The Mandalorian, the initial story isn’t […]
Gotta admit that it was like welcoming the return of long lost friends and family. The Expanse returned for its fourth season with a nice little bang on Dec. 13 with a new 10 episode season on Amazon Prime. It has been a while, but the things we’ve always loved about this show are still […]
