Marvel pulls all the stops on its latest movie, Captain Marvel. The humor, CG, and “origin” story were all extremely well done. Readers be aware, spoilers ahead! All Aboard the Captain Marvel Train It’s pretty easy to say Captain Marvel the best movie Marvel has made, but then I think about the originals from […]
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 […]

For all that Griffin was not, in the end he offered a water-logged little clue. And thanks to Ben Stone’s nimble mind and Olive’s considerable skills, the pig that was Griffin (played with joyful self-interest by Marc Menchaca. Loved this character even as I loathed him) told us something about our Flight 828 passengers — […]
It was something of old home week on Star Trek: Discovery this week. We had some fun visitors return to the scene, one gleefully, one tortured, and one just happy to escape. ‘Saints of Imperfection’ was a wonderfully taut and nervy bit of storytelling by our Discovery team, one that opened some interesting doors for […]
