Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Time’s Orphan”

Oh gosh, it’s been such fun. Miles is the kind of wholesome, kindhearted lug your inner sadist wants to see kicked until he screams. But today we draw the curtains on our sad bumbling hero with our final installment of……

It’s the holiday season again, and one of the most beloved of all Christmas stories is How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The book was written by Theodor Geisel, otherwise known as Dr. Seuss. Published in 1957, the title character is…

Hit or Bomb? December 2019 movie predictions

It’s the Christmas movie season, where studios typically roll out lots of big blockbusters and awards bait, but much like two years ago, the release schedule is pretty light this year, because the assumption seems to once again be that…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 2)

Previously: Nothing. Nothing happened. The small exploratory starship USS Palomino found the long-missing big exploratory starship USS Cygnus near a black hole. That’s it. You are all caught up. Also, I misidentified long-time character actor Robert Forster as “Robert Forester”…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 9 of 10)

Previously: Decker tried to put the moves on the Ilia-probe, while Spock stole a spacesuit and tried to put the mind-meld moves on V’Ger. Sadly, those living machines aren’t quite the easy lay that either man expected. Spock wakes up in Sickbay. Dr. Chapel is scanning his brain, and McCoy tells Kirk that the “power pouring through that mind-meld” may have caused Spock...

10 female-led action movies that prove Elizabeth Banks is wrong

A couple of Fridays ago, the latest reboot of Charlie’s Angels was released, and to no one’s surprise, including director/writer/supporting actor Elizabeth Banks, it bombed. Hard. No one was asking for another Charlie’s Angels and I have no clue how…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 1)

Loyal readers may have noticed that I don’t write much. That’s because what I do write is indisputably genius. But why would a genius such as me (or Charles Babbage, or Sir George Stokes, or Isaac Newton, or any of…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Honor Among Thieves”

Top o’ the mornin’, you cheeky monkey! Welcome back to… Today’s episode, “Honor Among Thieves”, checks off several different Trek boxes. First, there’s the well-worn trope of Chief O’Brien being assigned to a task that’s either well above his pay…

Star Trek: Short Treks “Ask Not”

And now, the last of the Captain Pike-era Short Treks, “Ask Not”. At around nine minutes, this is the shortest Short Trek so far, and one of the most inconsequential. It’s built around a pretty obvious twist that negates…

Captain America #289 “Tomorrow, the World?” The Deathlok saga (part 4 of 4)

It’s weird, but when I picked the Deathlok Saga to review, the only thing on my mind had been the fact that the titular character was essentially an animated corpse; Halloween was the only thing on my mind. Then someone…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 8 of 10)

Previously: The Enterprise entered the evil cloud and got a bit too close to the Great Sphincter. Lt. Ilia was abducted by the intruder, which left a robot “probe” lookalike in her place, sort of like a… changeling? And with that, it’s back to the TOS theme...

Captain America #288 “Mazes!” The Deathlok saga (part 3 of 4)

Part three of our story opens with Captain America wandering through the bombed out remains of New York City, circa 1993…Waitaminute. Lemme go back and check issue #286… Ah-ha! It was originally 1991! So was Godwulf chilling in that subway…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 6 of 10)

Previously: Spock showed up at last and made himself science officer, leading to a heartwarming reunion where the guy was pretty near catatonic. There was some questioning of Spock’s motives between Kirk and McCoy that went nowhere, just in time for the Enterprise to make visual contact with the Maybe-Not-Evil Cloud.

Captain America #286 “One Man in Search of... Himself!” The Deathlok saga (part 1 of 4)

With the Halloween holiday upon us, I was wondering what comic I should review. I’ve already looked at Swamp Thing, and Man-Thing seemed a little obvious. I was never a fan of Marvel’s Dracula, and never read Werewolf by Night…
