Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) – Fight or Flight, and Strange New World
Captain’s log: 6 May, 2151 Rick Berman and Brannon Braga pen the follow-up episode to the series premiere. Fight or Flight debuted on 3 October, 2001, and despite the promise of an inhabited world that scans picked up at the end of the previous episode, the only lifeform they’ve found is an alien worm, christened…

The Star Trek Book (2016) – Paul Ruditis, Sandford Galden-Stone and Simon Hugo
DK Canada has another winner on its hands. This book is going to get a lot of use by me as I start, with my very next post, a journey through all of Star Trek’s incarnations. When I was a kid I was introduced to space opera first, and it changed my life. That was…
The Maltese Falcon (1941) – John Huston

Dashiel Hammett’s book comes to life under the direction of John Huston, who also penned the adapted screenplay, with gumshoe Sam Spade (Bogart) finding…
The Host (2006) – Joon-ho Bong
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies is coming to an end, and it was a lot of fun revisiting this highly enjoyable film from South Korea. The Host is a monster movie that balances thrills and laughs, and some great moments. Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) is a little slow, loves a nap, and can’t really be…
Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) – J.J. Abrams

Since Trek made the leap to the bug screen, they’ve had to eschew some of the material that inherently made Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek what is was when it was a weekly television show. After The Motion Picture, which I still love, the series began to shift…
IDW Star Trek (Ongoing) – Issues 7 & 8 – Vulcan’s Vengeance
The IDW Star Trek series, which I am greatly enjoying, no matter how far I seem to be behind on them (sorry, I like to take my time with them and savor them), brings its first all new story to life in the reset universe. Previously we have visited past episodes of the classic series, updated,…
