Stargate: Atlantis (2006) – Phantoms, and The Return: Part 1
Carl Binder wrote Phantoms that first aired on 15 September, 2006. Hallucinations seem to be running rampant through offworld teams. What’s causing them? What are they? Can it be stopped? Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) leads his team, along with Dr. Beckett (Paul McGillion) to follow up on a team that has missed its check-in. But things…
Starman (1986) – The Return, and Like Father, Like Son
John Carpenter’s Starman resonated with a lot of people, and it seems that in the 80s spin-off series were happening fairly regular, there was Fame, Fast Times, 9 to 5, and Private Benjamin. There are a number of issues with the series but I was eager to dig into it and see how it stands…
Star Trek: Avenger (1997) – William Shatner with Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens
The Reeves-Stevens help William Shatner tell his next Star Trek tale, the third in his Shatner-verse stories. This time out, despite his continued work to make sure that James T.

V – The Series (1985) – War of Illusions, The Secret Underground, and The Return
This week, we come to the conclusion of the ill-conceived weekly series of V. It could have been a lot better than it was, and even the reimagined series was stronger, but still not quite where it needed to be (though it is exponentially more enjoyable than this incarnation). First up is War of Illusions….
Doctor Who (William Hartnell) – The Ark
This week, the TARDIS travels far into the future, and happily, I didn’t have to watch a reconstruction of it! This time all of the episodes survived, and it was a fun tale. The Ark was originally aired from 5 March to 26 March 1966, and was written by Paul Erickson and Lesley Scott. Over…
