Other Worlds Than These (2026) – Stephen King, and Peter Straub
Like many Constant Readers, I knew what the title of Stephen King’s and the late Peter Straub’s third Talisman book signified. It was going to do things we always suspected and hoped for. It was going to tie itself in directly to King’s epic Dark Tower series, a story that serves to unite almost all…
Battlestar Galactica (2008) – He That Believeth in Me, and Six of One
The fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica got underway on 4 April, 2008, over one year after the season three finale aired in March of 2007. Sure, there was Razor in November of 2007, but that’s a long time to wait when you’re wondering about Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff)! And not only Starbuck, but the…
Project Hail Mary (2026) – Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller
This film is one of my favourite films of the year and is definitely in my top ten of all time. I loved the book by Andy Weir when I read it, and this is one of the few instances where the film and the original source material complement each other brilliantly, and neither detracts…
Disclosure Day (2026) – Steven Spielberg
I’ve now seen Spielberg’s 2026 UFO tale, Disclosure Day, twice. And I know why it took two viewings. No matter how you go into that viewing the idea of Steven Spielberg, the man who gave us E.T. and Close Encounters, returning to the big screen with another UFO story, your expectations are going to be…

So how is Diane Duane going to get Kirk and the Excelsior crew out of the problems with the Ajir and the newly arrived Grond? We’ll find out in issue 25 of DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series. Available for April of 1986, the script was by Duane, and once again featured Tom Sutton on…
Private Benjamin (1980) – Howard Zeiff
Goldie Hawn walked away with a Best Actress Oscar nomination, Eileen Brennan got a Supporting Actress nomination, and the film got a Best Original Screenplay nod, and it entertained millions of people, and arguably empowered a lot of women. The end of the 70s and the 80s were a different time. Predating Stripes by a…
Battlestar Galactica (2007) – Razor
Before season four of Battlestar Galactica began, and we could start to dwell on the mystery of how Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) came back and what is going to happen with Baltar (James Callis) and the stunning reveal of four of the Final Five Cylons, Ronald D. Moore and his creative team went back in time….
Star Trek: Lower Decks (2021/2022) – Wej Duj, First First Contact, and Grounded
