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.
The reality that the Holy Grail may not be at the bottom of the sea, but located somewhere in France, drives much of episode 2 of “Knightfall.” But as this episode, titled “Find Us The Grail,” plays out, we see that there are others out there with an interest in the Grail. It would appear […]
It has been a great ride, lo these 50 years since Star Trek TOS first aired and sent our minds wandering through the stars with Kirk, Spock, Scotty and the gang. Since that time, there are been multiple TV series, a host of movies and new and passionate converts to the Trek world. And with […]
To say there’s been plenty written and discussed about the Knights Templar would be an understatement. But there’s still centuries of mystery surrounding the organization regarding their power, politics, purpose and wealth. The History Channel is offering their take on the Templar Order and it’s worth checking out. One episode down and I’ve bought in […]

And here was are, eight episodes into Star Trek: Discovery and the Trek fandom continues to dissect and examine the show at a healthy rate. It’s good fun and a healthy sign for this new offering as we look at the newest episode, “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,” a Latin adage that translates to “if […]
With an episode titled “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad,” it’s reasonable to assume that the mad-hatter himself, Harry Mudd would return to play his part in what ensued. And indeed, that blessing was realized as Rainn Wilson’s reincarnated Mudd character returned to torment Captain Lorca and the crew of the Discovery. I, […]
Have we gotten to the place where we need to be more than a little worried about mental state of Captain Lorca? Let’s face it, if Star Trek: Discovery has given us anything, it has given us another captain that’s more than a bit mysterious, just a little too closed off, and rife with intuition […]
It looks like folks are going to get a little longer to talk about the many implications, both positive and negative, they see in the new Star Trek: Discovery series as CBS All Access just announced that season 2 has been given the go-ahead. The new iteration of the Star Trek television family has proven […]
Well hello there, Harcourt Fenton Mudd, we’ve been waiting for you. Episode 105 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Choose Your Pain,” heralded the arrival of Rainn Wilson’s take on Harry Mudd and he proved to be just as craven and untrustworthy as we might have imagined. And I loved it. Wilson is going to be an […]
Four episodes into “Star Trek: Discovery” and we’ve encountered some strange and interesting things already, but perhaps the most interesting development is this push toward spore propulsion – and the potential it has in the growing war with the Klingons.
