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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yes, December is dawning, but there’s still time to get the gift that keeps on giving at warp factor 7 – for someone you care about or just something you want to put in your own stocking. Star Trek Christmas gifts are that rare “something special” that let’s the nerd revel in Kirk, Spock, L’Rell, […]
If there was one lasting impression from this past weekend’s New York Comic Con, it’s that the Star Trek franchise is still plenty strong and still delivers plenty of excitement to a passionate fan base. This year, NYCC pulled off a Trek double, delivering not only a trailer for the new Picard series, but doubling […]
As a lover of backstory, and a good pitchfork vs. knife fight, Episode 508 of Killjoys brought me a particular kind of joy. Zeph heads home in search of answers and while she eventually got them, what we got as viewers was the weaving of many threads of Zeph’s life into an interesting and, eventually, […]
If Killjoys episode 507 had a theme, it was most certainly played out in the title, “Cherchez La Bitch.” The search for the physical body of The Lady has commenced full force, but along the way we got more than a little soul-searching from some of our Killjoys characters, a development that gave us a […]
Where to start, where to start? So many interesting moments in this episode of Killjoys, it’s hard to pick a storyline to kick off this review. If nothing else, Episode 506, “Three Mutineers,” offered some potentially exciting developments and more than a couple fascinating relationship-related moments. And perhaps that’s where we’ll start. But first, it […]
As we continue to watch and marvel at the seemingly inexhaustible amount of plans and counter-plans team Awesome Force is able to conjure up, particularly in this new prison setting, it’s something to be amazed and delighted with. And in episode 505 of Killjoys, “A Bout, A Girl” the prison trope delivered some of the […]
