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.
Star Trek: Discovery’s penultimate episode, “Such Sweet Sorrow,” certainly had plenty of that, didn’t it? Tears were spilled, goodbyes were said and the very real feeling that, as we head into next week’s season 2 finale, much of what we underwent this season is going to change in season 3. Personnel changes? Most assuredly as […]
Faith, and the struggle to keep it, has always been an undercurrent within the show “Knightfall.” In episode 203, “Faith,” that struggle is on full display, particularly the highs and lows within that struggle for several of our main characters. The high? Obviously, the bonding of Talus and Landry in the midst of the slaughter […]
Captain Christopher Pike got a glimpse into his future, a future that fans of the Star Trek world have long known would befall him. The burns, the paralysis, the wheelchair, all of it was in full living color in Pike’s minds-eye during Ep. 212 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Through the Valley of Shadows.” I have […]
I’ve said often in this space that I really enjoy backstory for the characters that intrigue me. Hence, a show that takes the time to give us backstory on its major characters, a backstory that illuminates some of who they are now, is a show that fills my empty entertainment cup nicely. And I got […]
While we’ve been somewhat aware of the power and purpose of “Control” over the last few episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, episode 211, “Perpetual Infinity” gave us the clearest picture yet of just how monumental a task it really will be to save sentient life in the galaxy. “Control” is not playing around with this […]
When last we saw Landry and his Templar brothers, they were engaged in a cacophony of battle with King Phillip, Gawain and a band of mercenary soldiers brought on by an illicit love affair and pregnancy. The King was repulsed, but not before letting Landry have a look at his sword piercing the queen’s belly. […]
If there’s anything that gives me total joy (Besides watching Emperor Georgiou dominate a situation – more on that later), it’s a good twist within a twist with a little side of twist. Talk about satisfying, that’s exactly what episode 210 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Red Angel,” served up for viewers the other night. Wow, […]
Full disclosure, I was a huge fan of the USA TV series “Colony,” so you’ll likely hear some comparative analysis between that recently cancelled TV series and a new alien invasion movie that just dropped, “Captive State.” Set in Chicago, “Captive State” drops in 10 years after an alien presence stopped by Earth with promises […]
Let me just get this out of the way from the outset, I loved the opening scenes from Star Trek: Discovery’s latest episode (208), “If Memory Serves.” Just using old TOS footage of Pike’s previous visit to Talos IV from back in the day really added a connective thread to the Star Trek realm as […]
Before I get fully involved in looking back at Star Trek: Discovery’s episode 207 (“Lights and Shadows”), I must pause a moment to reflect on my utter delight at watching Michael Burnham and Philippa Georgiou “stage” a fight that allowed each to vent a little physical anger at the other. I don’t know how much […]
