Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Sci-Fi – anything else sci-fi
While I attempted the Star Trek Adventures game as best I could, I really never get into it. It needed more. But that doesn’t keep me from trying to find story ideas for a good Star Trek RPG adventure. I know there is a Star Trek conversion to Savage Worlds and I may explore that…
Uggh! I almost don’t want to write this but I am cathartically forcing myself to because it needs to happen. Star Wars was a huge part of my life for 20 years or so. I built it up in my own mind, played out storylines in various games I played, and dreamed up many more…
This took me a while to read. Two summers and then a couple of other vacations. I stopped watching Season 3 of the show because it was giving away from things that I had not read. I finished both in one day while home sick from work. Book 2 ended with a corporate conspiracy of…
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 it but when the Red Jack entity took over the ship and attempted to feed…
The Highlander movie and the subsequent TV series (there were no movie sequels, their can be only one) all had a profound effect on my life. It was my first real exposure to the urban fantasy genre and it really inspired me. Later, of course, things like vampires, demons and wizards became all the rage but…
This is primarily aimed to discuss the complaints about Discovery and how dark and gritty it is. There are some that believe that it’s not ST because it is too dark and gritty. While I have my own issues with DISCO, the darkness and grittiness is one reason I liked it. But I would argue…
I am as torn as I was when I started. Which I suppose is a credit to the writers and creators of the show. They changed enough to tweek the hardcore Trekkie side of me, while at the same time, presented some pretty good story and action. It wasn’t entirely Star Trek but it was just…
Where do you go after destroying Eros and infesting Venus with an alien protomolecule? Kidnapping children and alien-protomolecule hybrids, that’s where! I had already watched the second season of the show while I was reading this but finished it before 3 season was released. This was a great book and brings it all to a…
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 Johnson for his bold moves and his attempt to make it his own tale. But…
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 of my older ST:TOS fan friends. There are some subtleties that I saw that might…
