The Expanse: Things are heating up in ‘Pyre’ – Review
There was certainly some betrayal in the air in this week’s Episode 208 of “The Expanse.” Twists and turns are nice, but there’s just something about naked, unrepentant self-serving opportunism that really makes an episode hum. And this week’s offering, “Pyre,” had some very nice examples of that. The event that brought so many people together only […]
Colony: Review, Ep. 209 – “Tamam Shud” delivers tipping point
To say I (and perhaps many) have been awaiting this moment in Colony’s season 2 would be a gross understatement. After watching Det. Bob Burke needle Will Bowman and deliver derision and smirks throughout the bloc since his introduction, we finally received some satisfaction from him. All thanks to an orange soda. In my mind, […]
The Expanse: Bobbie Draper sees the ‘Seventh Man’ – Review
This is not how Martian solder Bobbie Draper imagined it. Episode 207 of The Expanse is called “The Seventh Man” and gives us a big dose of Draper and the journey she takes after the battle at Ganymede. She discovers that what she thinks, what people want to hear and where the truth lies has […]
Star Trek: Discovery – Boldly Going Once Again: Season Preview
Given what’s gone on in the last two years, it’s safe to say that the “stars” are aligning nicely for sci-fi fans with a long memory and passionate devotions. A trio of Star Wars movies have come down the slot in that time span. Add to that a Star Trek movie and it’s clear that entertainment […]

The Expanse: Miller finds unlikely ‘Home’ in Ep. 205: Review
Just a man, his nuclear device and the great unknown of an alien protomolecule awaiting his eventual arrival. For Joe Miller, Episode 205 of “The Expanse” certainly offered definition to the phrase, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” “Home” is the title of “The Expanse’s” Feb. 22 offering and as the episode moves along, […]
The Expanse: ‘Godspeed’ indeed for Ep. 204 – Review
Detective Joe Miller is a tired, cynical man who seemed to finally find his purpose during episode 204 of “The Expanse” Wednesday night.

The Expanse: Episode 3 anything but ‘Static’ — Review
And you thought the nightmare of Eros was behind us. It’s certain Captain Holden and the rest of the gang on the Rocinante thought (or hoped) that what they’d witnessed would forever be left in the past. But as Wednesday’s new episode of The Expanse (“Static”) started to unwind, it became clear that the nightmare […]
The Expanse Premiere Double EP Delivers Goods – Review
If one’s good, then two should be better. That theory worked well Wednesday night as The Expanse made its return to Syfy for its second season.
