Last time, I watched what was the mid-season finale for Universe’s first season. It saw Young (Louis Ferreira) leaving Rush (Robert Carlyle) behind on an alien planet (with an alien ship) as the Destiny leaps away. The pair had a knock down drag-out fight, and that aired on 4 December, 2009. The story didn’t resume…

In Light, the Destiny is on a collision course with a star following their maneuver around the gas giant. First airing on 23 October, 2009, this episode was written by Brad Wright and directed by Peter DeLuise. There is no power to steer the ship, in fact, no one knows even how to pilot it….
Stargate: Atlantis (2008) – Remnants, and Brain Storm
Remnants puts Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) into some serious trouble on the mainland. He’s gone along on a biological expedition because he found one of the scientists attractive. It’s too bad he finds the subject boring. But things escalate when he finds himself confronting… Kolya (Robert Davi)?! Aren’t you dead? On Atlantis, Woolsey (Robert Picardo) is…
Smallville (2003) – Visitor, and Precipice
Visitor was written by Philip Levens and it debuted on 15 April, 2003.

Predator: Badlands (2025) – Dan Trachtenberg
I loved Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It was amazing. It took an IP that continues to endure and intrigue and shake it up in a new way. So when I heard he was cranking out another one, I was ready to see what he did next. Predator: Badlands ends up being a middle-of-the-road entry, one that…
Star Trek: The Devil’s Isle of Space (1968)
The second issue of Gold Key’s Star Trek comics hit spinners on June 1968. It once again featured Dick Wood as writer and Nevio Zaccara as the artist. The story ends up being a familiar science fiction trope. The prison planet. The Enterprise arrives in an asteroid field, some of which are glowing. On them…
The Day the Earth Blew Up (2024) – Peter Browngardt
I’m not sure what is going on with Warner Brothers, making a number of movies, completing them, then canceling their release only to use them as tax write-offs. We can only hope some day we’ll see the release of Batgirl, but happily, Ketchup Entertainment picked up Coyote vs. Acme and The Day the Earth Blew…
Alien: Earth (2025) – Neverland
Disney did me a huge favor and sent me the first six episodes of their new Alien: Earth series to take a look at. I only watched one. And let me tell you, it’s not because I hated it. Oh no. I knew I could sit there and easily devour all six episodes that they…

Unrealized Reality was written by David Kemper and first aired on 23 August, 2002. Crichton (Ben Browder) is about to get an education! When he tumbles into a wormhole, and he encounters an alien, Einstein (John Bach), who wants to learn why Crichton was given this information. And to show him how much things can…
Alien: Out of the Shadows (2014) – Tim Lebbon
It’s been a long time since I picked up an Alien novel. I dug the Alien 3 novel based on the original script by William Gibson, and before that I read Alan Dean Foster’s adaptation of Aliens bach when it first came out. But I was eager to dig into the universe again, I was…
