Rewatching Star Trek, The Original Series on Netflix. Just watched the episode Wolf in the Fold, one of my favorite episodes. I still see that as a missed opportunity for a really good two parter. I know budget limitations prevented…

Star Trek: Discovery – Social Justice Vigilantes
I don’t even know where to start, I am so frustrated. Militant Progressives have taken over Star Trek in the worst way. Instead of “social justice,” they are portraying “social revenge” or “social vigilantism” in their stories. Now I see…
Away Mission: Signals (ConCarolinas 2018)
Date: June 2, 2018 Ran Star Trek Adventures RPG by Modiphius at ConCarolinas. This session went incredibly. I had a lot of fun. The alien device at the end really played into it heavily. The players really got into the…
Highlander, the Movie, the TV series and reboot idea

My Verdict: Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I really had to sit on this for a while, because SW TLJ is a very bold movie. It apparently has divided Star Wars fandom considerably, from the Dragon*Con fanboys down to the casual fans. I have to respect Rian…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
I watched The Motion Picture again yesterday. It was the first time in a very long time. I was trying to get a better understanding of the disappointment in that movie. I was disappointed but not as viscerally as some…

Star Trek Old & New: What’s wrong?
This guy has a lot to say about Star Trek, and I largely agree. He hits on an important point about old and new Star Trek that can be applied broadly. Star Trek, however, illustrates it more poignantly because it has a considerable amount of history,…
