Showcase, continuing to prove that Canadian television rocks, is about to premiere a new series, Continuum, on May 27th. And it looks like our good friend Bo from Lost Girl may have some competition in the strong, sexy female lead department. I got a sneak peek at it over the weekend thanks to our good…

Star Trek: Phase II – A Few Revisions
Alright, so now I’m a little further into this well-put together fan series, and wanted to update my previous statements. Cawley and co. obviously felt that the first Scotty didn’t work out, and have since recast him with a moustached gentleman who has our favorite engineer’s burr down pat. The stories have improved from episode…
Star Trek: Phase II
We’ve established that I’m a huge Trek fan, even as I type this the blu-ray is in my player, and I’m finishing up the episode “Shore Leave,” I’m reading the second book in the Lost Years series, A Flag Full of Stars, I’m making my way through DS9 and am hunting down the new IDW…
Film Scores – A Whistler’s Tale
I’m a whistler, and a dreamer… and “Binary Sunset” is one of my favorite thoughtful, hopeful and slightly sad things to whistle, especially when I’m thinking about my future, and watching the horizon. Whistling. I do it all the time, and I carry a huge repertoire in my mind, and on my ipod. In the…

His only guide on this journey…
Cabin In The Woods
Sue and I got to take in a sneak peek of Drew Goddard’s new film Cabin In The Woods last night, with the director in attendance for a post-show Q&A. And the film entertained! It takes the genre we know so well, and gives it a whole new life… The tagline on the poster to…
Star Trek The Bantam Years
The 1970s. Star Trek had finished its original run, and was garnering cult status in syndication, and fans were clamoring for more. This was a long time before Star Wars came along, and even longer before Paramount learned what a hot property that had. The short-lived animated series aired in the 73 to 74 season,…
New To Me Trek
When Deep Space Nine rolled around the first time, I tried to get into it. It was Star Trek, and I love my Trek. But apparently I was too devoted a fan of the exploration side of the Trek universe, and had already welcomed two crews of the Enterprise into my heart. So after about…
