Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) – Duet, and In the Hands of the Prophets
Station log: stardate unknown Peter Allan Fields pens the teleplay for this episode that was conceived by Lisa Rich and Jeanne Carrigan-Fauci. Airing on 13 June, 1993, the episode is a strong Kira (Nana Visitor) story that proves that season one of Deep Space Nine was stronger than the first of The Next Generation. A…

Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know (2015) – Adam Bray, Kerrie Dougherty, Cole Horton and Michael Kogge
Since my first pack of Topps Star Wars cards, the second series with the red border, I knew I had found something special. A supposition proven correct, when I saw the film later that year when my family moved to CFB Borden. The film changed me, and has been a part of my DNA since…
