I have said it before – I was obsessed with V: The Mini-series. The Series that followed had it’s moments but overall it was a disappointment. The book series that came out at that time showed that there was a lot of potential for story in this universe and I tried my best to read…

Book: V – The Florida Project
I have been devouring these V books over the past several months to dive deep into the lore and get ideas for the Savage Worlds tabletop RPG campaign I may run. When I was a teen, I was obsessed with the mini-series, the books and the TV show. Unfortunately, the writing in the TV series…
V – The Series: What went wrong?
For the mid 80s, V the Series was innovative and daring. While the two very successful mini-series were just that – a mini-series telling a contiguous story in 3 or 4 episodes, they attempted to translate that type of series into an ongoing show. Modelling it after some of the more success soap opera at…
Book: V – The Chicago Conversion
V: The Mini-series was a ground breaking TV show for it’s time and I was obsessed with it. Not only was it sci-fi but it was also a parallel of WWII and the rise of the Third Reich – something I was really into and still am. I fell in love with the first mini-series…
Book: V – The Alien Swordsman
V: The Mini-series was a ground breaking TV show for it’s time and I was obsessed with it. Not only was it sci-fi but it was also a parallel of WWII and the rise of the Third Reich – something I was really into and still am. I fell in love with the first mini-series…
Stargate SG-1 Rewatch: The Other Side
I have been re-watching SG-1 with my kids. They are loving it. However, I got to this one and it hit me in the wrong way, perhaps because of the times and what is going on today. It does show how timeless some of these themes are but at the same time, this episode show…
ST:D – End of a universe
**SPOLIERS** I have been back and forth with Star Trek: Discovery for a while now. When Pike was in, it was good but otherwise, It has been a struggle for me. Between the SJW crap they want to push and the weak storylines with no basis in Star Trek axioms or science as well as…
Star Trek TNG: Crystalline Entity Ideas
Rewatching TNG I did not realize they revisited the Crystalline entity one more time. From S1 E13 Datalore to S5 E4 Silicon Avatar, this thing appeared to devour planets of all life (rather quickly, I might add). This thing had me question a lot of things about it. It reminded me of the planet killer…
Star Trek TNG: Lazy Writing Part 1 – Allegiance
We are 4 seasons in and at least twice now, there has been an episode where Picard or Tiker gets taken somehow by an alien being with amazing technology – of which we never see anything about again. While I get that Star Trek has always relied on the galaxy is big-montra, I feel that…
Ideas from Star Trek: TNG “The Survivors” S3E3
I am re-watching ST:TNG with my kids and through out, I am watching for things I missed, plot elements that could have been used later (one of the biggest complaints I heard while watching it) and inspiration for RPG games. When I watched it in the past, the show inspired many of my game sessions…
