Season Three of Galactica got underway on 6 October, 2006. Occupation was written by showrunner Ronald D. Moore. New Caprica, and its human inhabitants are under Cylon rule. It’s been four months since the Cylons arrived, and Baltar (James Callis), as president, is little more than a figurehead, doing everything the Cylons ask. There is…
Firefly: Big Damn Hero (2018) – James Lovegrove
If you’ve been visiting the blog recently, you know I’ve been revisiting the beloved series, Firefly. I’m very excited about more adventures in the ‘Verse, even if it’s an animated one. And while I own, and love a lot of the comics that sprang up following the film, Serenity, I had never read any of…
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Gulliver’s Fugitives (1990) – Keith Sharee
It’s been a bit since I read a Next Gen novel, but I do like spending time with the Enterprise D and her crew. Gulliver’s Fugitives is an interesting concept, but not executed as well as it could have been and a little flawed. Troi is having some troubling visual experiences following a screening of…

Issue 34 of Star Trek from Gold Key Comics was ready for fans in October 1975. It was once again written by Arnold Drake. It featured art by Alberto Giolitti and George Wilson continued to churn out wonderful cover paintings. The issue’s splash page shows Kirk and Scotty in an underground chamber. They and the…
Star Trek: The Devil’s Isle of Space (1968)
The second issue of Gold Key’s Star Trek comics hit spinners on June 1968. It once again featured Dick Wood as writer and Nevio Zaccara as the artist. The story ends up being a familiar science fiction trope. The prison planet. The Enterprise arrives in an asteroid field, some of which are glowing. On them…

Season nine got underway with Avalon: Part 1 on 15 July, 2005. It was written by Robert C. Cooper with excerpts written by Cooper and Brad Wright. And it is not the show it was at the end of the last season. Season nine features some big changes for the series. Sure we had Jonas…
Farscape (2000) – The Way We Weren’t, and Picture If You Will
The Way We Weren’t is arguably one of the best episodes of the series. Written by Naren Shankar this episode was first broadcast on 14 April, 2000. Crichton (Ben Browder) finds a troubling discovery that illuminates Aeryn’s (Claudia Black) as well as a previously unknown connection between her, Moya and Pilot (voiced by Lani John…
Yokai Monsters: Along with Ghosts (1969) – Yoshiyuki Kuroda, and Kimiyoshi Yasuda
The third and final film in the Yokai Monsters series Along with Ghosts makes the monsters and ghosts almost a peripheral and unnecessary collection of characters. That being said, I enjoyed this one more than the second, which just seemed a little too light-hearted for me. This time out, the narrative follows a group of…
Witness (1985) – Peter Weir
It’s been some time since I had settled in for the Harrison Ford drama Witness directed by the amazing Peter Weir. I remember loving it as a teen when I first came across it simply because it was a Harrison Ford film. I loved movies at the time but I didn’t realize the film had…
