It’s been quite some time since I dug into a Sigma Force novel, but sometimes you just want to dig into a sprawling adventure. Sigma Force is a super secret arm of DARPA. That means not only do the characters have military training, but they have doctoral degrees, and great science and tech at their…

Farscape (2000) – Mind the Baby, and Vitas Mortis

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…
Stargate SG-1 (2001) – Enemies, and Threshold
The fifth season of Stargate SG-1 got underway on 29 June, 2001 with Enemies. Written by Robert C. Cooper from a story by Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie and one of the series creators, Brad Wright, this episode picks up where the season four cliffhanger left us… … in a galaxy far, far away. SG-1…
Star Trek: Spectre (1998) – William Shatner with Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens
William Shatner doles out another ‘Kirk is the best captain ever’ tale with the Reeves-Stevens helping him out. I make it sound like I didn’t like the book, I did, but I hate how even now, Shatner, goes out of the way to make sure that Kirk is portrayed as the smartest, strongest, most attractive…
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2023) – Subspace Rhapsody, and Hegemony
Subspace Rhapsody does something that Star Trek has never done before, gives us a musical. With songs by Letters to Cleo’s Kay Hanley and Tom Polce and a script by Dana Horgan and Bill Wolkoff this episode first debuted on 3 August, 2023. Sure, musicals aren’t everyone’s fare, but in a season that took some…

Avatar: The Last Airbender – Book 1: Water (2005) – The Boy in the Iceberg, The Avatar Returns, and The Southern Air Temple
With the live-action series on the horizon, it seemed like an ideal time to take a look at the original animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Micheal Myers (1989) -Dominique Othenin-Girard
So it was bad enough that Carpenter delivered a script he didn’t believe in that made Micheal Myers/The Shape into Laurie Strode’s brother in Halloween II. Then things got worse when they continued with the Myers tale in Halloween 4 by introducing little Jamie (Danielle Harris) as Micheal’s niece and new target upon his return…
Galactica 1980 (1980) – Galactica Discovers Earth: Part 1, and Part 2
I remember, as a kid, when Battlestar Galactica didn’t return for a second season, and was then very happily surprised when Galactica 1980 came along. To a kid it seemed awesome, the Galactica had finally found Earth, and not only did the fleet still have those awesome vipers, but now they had these very cool…
Batman (1967) – The Wail of the Siren, and The Sport of Penguins
Hey! Batgirl has her own (terrible) theme song! And some fun appearances in the opening credits. The Siren (Joan Collins) is using her musical abilities to brainwash men to work for her, including Commissioner Gordon (Neil Hamilton). The Wail of the Siren was penned by Stanley Ralph Ross and it first debuted on 28 September,…
