Four episodes into Star Trek: Picard, it has become very clear to me that when Jean-Luc Picard resigned from Star Fleet 14 years earlier, he not only walked away from his career in a move he thought honorable and right, he walked away from a large chunk of his life as well. I harken back […]
Well that answers that question. It would appear that all roads do, indeed, lead to Hopkinsville, Kentucky – at least they did in episode 204 of Project Blue Book, titled simply, “Hopkinsville.” We’ve got alien craft in the air, aliens on the ground, a suspect hand print on a tree and a lying circus-runner named […]
Three episodes into season 2 of Project Blue Book, we’ve already visited Roswell and now Area 51, the twin pillars of the alien cover-up conspiracy temple. Episode 3 took Capt. Quinn and Dr. Allen Hynek to Groom Lake and the strange and hidden machinations that the area has going on. It’s a fascinating look at […]
Episode 2 of Star Trek: Picard did nothing if not give us plenty to think and re-think about moving forward. The episode, titled “Maps and Legends,” appears to be the springboard for the adventure that we all knew Jean-Luc Picard was going to have to take in season 1. The search for Dahj’s sister, Soji, […]
If you’d have told me that Dr. Alan Hynek would ride to the rescue of Gen. James Harding – in the nick of time, mind you – I’d have been more than a little cynical of that occurring, particularly in Ep. 202 of Project Blue Book – “The Roswell Incident: Part II.” As this episode […]
Season two of Project Blue Book takes us to ground zero of the extraterrestrial question – Rosewell, New Mexico. What a great way to open the second season of this fabulously interesting show on History Channel. But the trip to Roswell isn’t because of something new as much as it is about reminding General Harding […]
The season 4 finale of The Expanse was a wonderful melting pot of all that makes this series so compelling – and at times frustrating (but in a good way). For all the positive vibes that episode 10 thrust our way, there were certainly an equal number of unsettling developments that leave you wondering what […]
After viewing these three episodes back-to-back, I decided that they all played such an interesting role in moving The Expanse along in its fourth season that I’d meld them into one review that kind of encapsulates the whole, rather than break them into bits. The Expanse hasn’t lost a dang thing, in my estimation, with […]
There’s something fairly beautiful in the chaos of plans not going to plan. Fortunately, The Expanse is one of those shows that continually delivers that kind of beauty – episode by episode. It’s one of the things that marks The Expanse, in my mind, as the taut sci-fi drama/thriller that it is. I don’t get […]
Oh, that was fun, wasn’t it? The season-ender of The Mandalorian had a bunch of different elements combining to deliver a story that had plenty of action, some fun twists, and unfortunately somber notes as well. In the end, a new chapter is about to begin. But what a wild ride we had to the […]
