I remember when the episode of Pegasus aired, 23 September 2005. Me, my friends and co-workers loved it. We all made sure to listen to Ronald D. Moore’s weekly podcast talking about the episode, and when we heard about the extended cut when the season was to be released to home video, we were super-excited….

Lilo & Stitch (2002) – Dean DeBlois, and Chris Sanders
Ahh, hand-drawn animation. Sometimes you just want to settle in and enjoy the beauty of artists at work, who bring stories and characters to life with pencils and paints, and imbue them with a life that completely enraptures you. Lilo & Stitch, the now classic and arguably iconic Disney film, does exactly that. It’s an…
Hoppers (2026) – Daniel Chong
This is my kind of Pixar movie. As much as I love a good Toy Story, I find that Pixar does it best when it explores new territory, and Hoppers definitely does that. We are introduced to Mabel Tanaka (Piper Curda), who, thanks to her Grandmother’s (Karen Huie) love and attention, has learned the importance…
Taken (2002) – Beyond the Sky
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…
