Issue 21 of DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series was available on spinners until December, 1985. While Tom Sutton continued on pencils and Ricardo Villagran delivered inks, Bob Rozakis delivered the story, which saw a shift from Kirk and the Excelsior to Spock and his crew (all new characters for us readers) aboard the Surak….

Battlestar Galactica (2006) – Exodus: Part 1, and Part 2
Exodus Part 1 was written by David Weddle and Bradley Thompson, it debuted on 13 October, 2006. There is lots going on in this episode; it picks up moments before the previous episode ended. Cally (Nicki Clyne) avoids execution by the Cylons, but what about Zarek (Richard Hatch) and Roslin (Mary McDonnell)? We find out…
The Stand (1994) – The Stand
12 May, 1994, brought us the fourth episode, and the conclusion of the Mick Garris-directed adaptation of Stephen King’s gigantic book, The Stand. The story is moving to its conclusion as the pieces of good and evil are finally arrayed for the last battle. Harold (Corin Nemec) is cast aside by Randall Flagg (Jamey Sheridan),…
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) – William Kotzwinkle
So, I’ve been jonesing to re-read the 1985 paperback, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet. I’ve had it since it came out, and have only read it once. I remember one scene in it, but that’s all I can recall. Since it and the original adaptation of the Melissa Matheson screenplay were written by…
The Stand (1994) – The Betrayal
After a night off, Th Stand miniseries resumed on 11 May, 1994. Mick Garris directed, and Stephen King wrote the teleplay from his huge novel. All the pieces are on the field, and now things begin to move and shift, and of course, with a title like The Betrayal, we know something bad will happen…
The Stand (1994) – The Plague
Horror icons Stephen King and Mick Garris paired up to bring King’s colossal tale of good and evil set against a backdrop of a world ravaged by a superflu to the small screen in a television mini-series event. Airing over four nights, the six-hour tale worked to be as faithful to the source material as…
The Martian Chronicles (1980) – The Expeditions
As mentioned in my book review, I was introduced to the miniseries before the book, thanks to my parents going to the video store (before they let me choose my own titles, which didn’t take long) and asking the clerk for space stuff. Having read the book now, I was curious if the miniseries would…
The Wheel of Time – Book 1: The Eye of the World (1990) – Robert Jordan
Looks like I may be buckling up for another epic adventure as I read the first volume in a fourteen volume series (and these books aren’t short). The Eye of the World is the first book in the epic Wheel of Time series. I was a little dubious as the first half of the novel…
Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 2
The second night of Stephen King’s Storm of the Century was 15 February, 1999. The three parts aired on consecutive nights, and it captivated audiences. King delivered the script, which was directed by Craig R. Baxley. The second episode picks up where the first one ended, and ups the body count, as Andre Linoge (Colm…
Stargate: Universe (2010) – Cloverdale, and Trial and Error
Cloverdale brings us to what may be my least favourite episode of the series. Written by Brad Wright, this episode was first broadcast on 26 October, 2010. Now, just because I said least favourite, doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s just Universe has set a pretty high bar for the series. Scott (Brian J. Smith)…
