I’m writing this in May long before Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day comes out. I love when Spielberg plays in the science fiction genre, and I am very excited to see what happens in his new film. But I also realized it had been forever since I watched the Leslie Bohem created miniseries that he executive…

Firefly (2002) – Serenity
Yes, Joss Whedon is problematic. But damn, I loved Firefly. Yes, he created it, but like Buffy and Angel, he’s not the only one who brought it to life. So with all that Nathan Fillion and the cast have done of late to bring about a continuation, in an animated format, I’ve decided to dig…
The Devils (2025) – Joe Abercrombie
I was absolutely charmed by this book. It’s like the Dirty Dozen goes on a fantasy quest, and nott only is it filled with great beats, solid action, and fantastic characters, it also has an incredibly sharp with. The narrative follows Brother Diaz, in a medieval world not quite unlike ours, he’s been given a…
Stargate: Universe (2011) – Seizure, and The Hunt
Rush (Robert Carlyle) has taken to using The Chair on Destiny, as it allows him to spend time with Amanda Perry (Kathleen Munroe) whose consciousness, like Ginn’s (Julie McNiven) has been uploaded to the ship. But something is preventing his release from this virtual world. She blames Ginn, but when Ginn appears to Eli (David…
Star Trek: #1 The Wormhole Connection (1984)
DC’s take on Star Trek hit comic racks with its ‘1st star-spanning collector’s issue!’ in time for February of 1984. Set after the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I know we’ll get a few issues before Star Trek III comes along. The first issue, The Wormhole Connection, was written by Mike…
Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 1
While not necessarily a movie, which is what I usually cover on Fridays, I thought it would be cool to revisit Storm of the Century, something I had not watched since it first aired. Written for the television screen by Stephen King, the miniseries aired over three nights, with the premiere on 14 February, 1999….
Stargate: Universe (2010) – Intervention, and Aftermath
The second, and final, season of Stargate Universe got underway on 28 September, 2010 with Intervention. Written by series creators Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, the episode picks up where the first one ended, with the Lucian Alliance still holding hostages aboard the Destiny, including Colonel Young (Louis Ferreira). It may be up to Eli…
War Machine (2026) – Patrick Hughes
Alan Ritchson leads a group of fellow soldiers, all determined to be Rangers, in a fierce battle with an otherworldly presence. Ritchson has proven himself to be an enjoyable performer, and is working at refining his acting skills (and they are improving), and Hughes who not only directed the film but had a hand in…
Exit Strategy (2018) – Martha Wells
I love the Murderbot Diaries, I find them entertaining, fun, and funny as hell. Martha Wells has created a character and universe that I love revisiting. And with the size of the diary entries, none of the books so far have been much longer than a novella. This story circles back to check in on…
Stargate: Universe (2009) – Air: Part 3, and Darkness
Creators and showrunners Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper delivered Air: Part 3 to viewers on 9 October, 2009. With only a twelve hour window before Destiny jumps back to FTL, Rush (Robert Carlyle), Eli (David Blue), Scott (Brian J. Smith), Greer (Jamil Walker Smith) and others pass through the gate and find themselves on…
