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, as well as intelligence built into it. It also had a single man behind it…

The Return of The X-Files
In 2016, one of my favorite shows of all time returned to TV for a short 6 episode mini-season. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny took up the roles they played during the 90s once again- Scully and Mulder. What concerned me was how well it would translate 20 years later. Obviously, Chris Carter felt like…
Star Trek: Discovery Premier
What is it about Star Trek that gets me fired up so much? It’s not like I was invested in the original series that much. I did get into the TOS after TNG started but I can’t say that I have actually watched EVERY episode. I did watch every episode of TNG, seen every movie, and…
Star Trek Discovery: I am very torn!
I have gone back and forth on this. I only became a hard core Star Treek fan after I was tutored by my old friend John on what is Star Trek and what is at the heart of the universe. Why I liked it so much? It was believable, tangible and made space feel so vast…
I am not the only one!
I am sorry to say that I have to agree with this guy 100%. What i like about this is that it goes beyond the same old complaint of “it’s a rehash of the first movie.” It was bad for more than that.
Star Wars: Better Story needs to Awaken
A couple of things have prompted me to type this up. First, the Everything Wrong with guys posted their take on SW7. And I could not agree more. Now this does not mean I hated the movie or I want people to hate the movie, but there were quite a few things that bothered me story-wise…
Star Wars 7: Mary Sue awakens
I have said before that I am struggling with my Star Wars fandom after seeing SW7. There was so much to like but there were flaws, some of which I just could not put my finger on. Well, finally someone has. Max Landis, in his own uncensored (language warning) and spoiler filled way, speaks to…
Star Wars 7: my Star Wars Fandom re-awakens?
NO SPOILERS TO FOLLOW I just got back from seeing the movie of the year; the movie that all geekdom was anticipating – Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I am torn. I was very cynical going in and I came out very conflicted. To fully understand where I am at now, perhaps I should look…
Star Trek: Renegade and Beyond!
Star Trek is something I got into late in life. I could never find a TV channel that consistently showed it and as a kid, I just didn’t quite get it. Back then, my fandom was just developing. I was heavily into monsters like Godzilla, Gamera and the Universal Monsters. I enjoyed watching Hammer films,…
Dr. Who: The Zygon Invasion & The Zygon Inversion
So I am trying to get caught up on the latest Dr. Who season, despite my dislike with the sonic-shades wearing, guitar playing 12th Doctor. I am still waiting for him to get better and on occasion he is. Unfortunately, when he shines, the writing fails miserably. At one time, new Doctor Who was one…
