I can’t say as I’m sorry that Star Trek: Discovery found an excuse to bring Saru back to his home world. And after watching Ep. 206, I can only say the trip was well worth it. This Saru-centric episode was the latest stone in the foundation that Saru has been laying on the path to […]
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 […]

But while a dying space entity attempts to communicate with the Discovery, there were a couple other things that really stood out for me in this episode, not the least of which was the entire story arc of The Blob that would devour […]
During Monday’s episode of Manifest, I couldn’t help but let out a yell at Michaela Stone (Sorry, Melissa Roxburgh, my devotion to you remains unshaken), as she essentially dropped the bomb of her tryst with Jared to Lourdes, then proceeded to kind of wiggle out of her inability to BS by saying Lourdes already knew.

I love Toy Story. This was the first movie we took our son to; we’ve followed Buzz and Woody from Sid’s backyard, to Big Al’s Toy Barn, and now – in a fun Super Bowl commercial – apparently to a carnival!!! But it doesn’t look like so much fun for our friends. We quote one […]
