It has been many months, once again, since my last post. Life has been getting in the way of more creative pursuits, and, to be honest, the motivation to write has simply not been there. But today, I feel like I have got to a place of more calm than much of the last year, … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery
So, as a lifelong Star Wars fan (born 1973, New Hope original) and stoic defender of even Disney's weakest efforts in the continuing saga, I have to confess I did not yet enjoy either animated series of Clone Wars or Rebels. This being the case, I am not completely versed in the history and deep … Continue reading Ahsoka
So. Let's take a look at one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Great because it was the best in any category? No. Great because it was consistently good. No. Great because it had an X factor that cannot be quantified: Yes. It is my humble opinion that with this show, TV more … Continue reading The X Files
I would watch Emma Stone in almost anything. Her eyes are mesmerising, as is the quirky soul behind them. I find her instincts as a performer impossible to ignore.

Earthers, Dusters (Martians) and Skinnies (Belters) compete for resources and political strength in an ever shifting landscape of trust and betrayal. It is a sci-fi geek's paradise, full of believable … Continue reading The Expanse
Such is the competition for our attention on the major streaming services, and such is the daunting depth of choice, that sometimes something of real quality can slip through the net for a while. I like to think that eventually, everything gets the audience it deserves, because eventually enough people that appreciated it will find … Continue reading Tales From the Loop
Being a child of Star Wars, born in '73, whose first memory of a cinema was A New Hope in '77, of course the entire franchise is still close to my heart. I am no superfan, however. I do not need to remember every name of every character, or know the obscure names of planets … Continue reading The Mandalorian
As a movie star, which, let's face it, is George Clooney's main and best job, we haven't seen the guy for four years, since the largely underwhelming Money Monster. And, as a director, you'd be forgiven for thinking he hasn't done anything for years, so unmemorable was 2017's Suburbicon, with Matt Damon. It is a … Continue reading The Midnight Sky
