Ronald Wilkerson delivers a tale that sees SG-1 traveling to a world where Norse religion has progressed and created a devout group of faithful to the Asgardians. That’s all well and good, but by activating the gate, they triggered something that has caused a red shift in the local sun by introducing a foreign element,…

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) – Dean Parisot
Bill & Ted came along at just the right time in my life. In 1989, I was a senior in high school, and the characters, their speech, and their general attitudes resonated with me. I joined them on their Excellent Adventure a couple of times in theaters, and in 1991 when they went on a…
Fast X (2023) – Louis Leterrier
Let’s be honest, The Fast and The Furious franchise jumped the shark awhile ago. Was it before the nuclear sub? Maybe. But as we close in on the end of the saga (maybe) the series has gone full comic book with Fast X. If Vin Diesel’s Dom is Batman then Jason Momoa’s character, Dante, is…
Farscape (2000) – Mind the Baby, and Vitas Mortis
Season Two picks up a few days after the cliffhanger ending of season one. No one seems to be in a good mood despite the fact that everyone survived. Written by Richard Manning, the season got underway on 17 March, 2000. D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe), and Crichton (Ben Browder) survived! They were finally picked up by…
Abigail (2024) – Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, and Tyler Gillett
After I enjoyed Radio Silence’s Ready or Not, Abigail climbed my list of things to watch in the immediate future. And It definitely entertains. Once again, a group of people find themselves trapped in a mansion (this time it’s the Guiness Manor in Ireland). This time it’s for twenty-four hours while they hold a young…

Holling is thrown for a loop when Jackie (Valerie Perrine) arrives in town and claims to be Holling’s daughter. He refuses to believe it, as he thought he…
Stargate SG-1 (2001) – Double Jeopardy, and Exodus
Double Jeopardy wraps up a story thread that you didn’t know you wanted wrapped up, and it works wonderfully. There are clues right from the off that the SG-1 arriving through the gate isn’t the one we know. They’re using MP-5s instead of the P-90s, O’Neill’s (Richard Dean Anderson) hair is darker, Carter (Amanda Tapping)…
