Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Hard Time”

Bloody hell, it’s another wee bit of… “Hard Time” is considered a landmark Star Trek episode and regularly dominates “best of franchise” lists in the way that only an episode featuring a man almost killing himself with a Dirt Devil…

Star Trek: Short Treks “The Trouble with Edward”

As I suspected at the end of my previous Short Trek recap, “The Trouble with Edward”, in addition to being the latest Star Trek tribble episode, is indeed a flat-out comedy. But it’s one that actually works; it’s a pretty…

Batman #426 “A Death in the Family” (part 1 of 4)

DC Comics post-Crisis on Infinite Earths was a weird time. Initially, me and everybody I know who read that epic considered it one of the best stories ever printed. George Perez’s art was top notch as usual, and the…

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), a recap (part 1 of 10)

Is there a movie that more intensely divides Star Trek fans than Star Trek: The Motion Picture? To some, it’s a slow, boring, drawn-out film, with interminable special effects sequences, and a crew having weirdly awkward interactions with one another...

JLA/Avengers #3 of 4 “Strange Adventures”

It’s another amazing cover from George this time, with an honest attempt to get every single JLAer and Avenger on it. I mean, he has both Crimson Foxes on this thing! If he missed anybody, it must have been a…

Venom (2018), a recap (part 7 of 7)

Previously: The villain went kaboom. What more do you really need to know? It’s daytime now, and there’s a serene-looking shot of the San Francisco skyline, so I guess the city recovered pretty quickly from a rocket exploding in the bay.
