Tony Todd

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Steve

Next up from my fun time at GACC, meeting actor Tony Todd! Tony is a staple in numerous Sci-Fi TV shows (Stargate, Babylon 5, The Flash) but he’s probably best known to the general public as titular character in the Candyman … Continue reading →

Patrick Stewart is returning to Star Trek

Posted on August 5, 2018 by Steve

This was an awesome surprise to see from the updates regarding the annual Star Trek convention in Vegas; held at Rio now, the LVH hasn’t had the Star Trek Experience in over a decade. At age 78, I’m not sure what they … Continue reading →

For the Love of Spock

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Steve

Adam Nimoy’s loving tribute to his father was thankfully on Netflix since I don’t think this was distributed through any theaters in my area. The documentary covers the life and career of Leonard Nimoy with a big portion dedicated to … Continue reading →

Final Star Trek header for the anniversary

Posted on December 2, 2016 by Steve

The last televised version of Star Trek, Enterprise gets an unfair shake. Despite it being filled with continuity holes unlike all the other shows, I felt Captain Archer and the crew really got rolling some time in the second season. The whole space … Continue reading →

1966: Star Trek debuts on NBC

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Steve

“The Man Trap” wasn’t exactly a great start but more memorable episodes came along to define the show later in the season: “Errand of Mercy,” “Balance of Terror,” and “A Taste of Armageddon.” Star Trek was the first Sci-Fi program to demonstrate … Continue reading →

Alright September!

Posted on September 2, 2016 by Steve

This month it’s the show which helped launch the short-lived UPN (Paramount Nnetwork I know a lot of people like to dump on Star Trek Voyager but it was a difficult premise to maintain, namely over how do you replace lost … Continue reading →

Star Trek Beyond: Rental at best

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Steve

I lifted my boycott on the “new” Star Trek after a good friend top me I didn’t need to see the previous turd…Star Trek Into Explosions to understand Beyond. This shouldn’t be a surprise, the franchise has gone with shallowness and characters … Continue reading →

A new month, new header for Star Trek

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Steve

For May we’re finally up to the first incarnation of Star Trek: The Next Generation which took up the torch from Kirk’s crew in 1987 on TV. The first season was shaky thanks to Roddenberry recycling his less interesting ideas from Star Trek: … Continue reading →

Happy April!

Posted on April 2, 2016 by Steve

I decided to let April Fool’s Day go. Miette may be 17 but she’s hanging in there with her thyroid issue and Apple turning 40 didn’t really inspire much. Couldn’t think of a good prank neither. The header above is … Continue reading →

Welcome to March Star Trek

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Steve

This month’s header is the third incarnation of <i>Star Trek</i>. You may recognize (unfortunately) the uniforms and cast from the horrible 1979 film which could’ve prevented the story from continuing until Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennett saved the franchise. It … Continue reading →

Hiatus continues, darned pollen…

Posted on February 2, 2016 by Steve

You’d think allergy/sinus issues would take a break during the Winter months. Not a chance in Central Texas. I guess now is when the trees decide to share their output with the bees, hornets, wasps, wind and ants to spread … Continue reading →

Neat, odd and great crossover comics

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Steve

I’m back on a roll about the comic books I’ve been reading lately. I guess I’ll just have to accept that the time, inspiration and energy will happen at irregular intervals. A while back I plugged a weird, obscure crossover … Continue reading →

RIP Yvonne Craig

Posted on August 19, 2015 by Steve

The woman who will always be the definition of Batgirl passed away Monday from cancer. Craig was never a major star, usually cast in supporting or guest roles but when she appeared in Star Trek she was memorable as the Orion mental … Continue reading →

RIP: Harve Bennett

Posted on March 7, 2015 by Steve

Right after the death of Leonard Nimoy the man who co-saved Star Trek‘s viability for future movies and TV shows passed away. Harve Bennett was a veteran of television shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man and Salvage I. After the first Star Trek movie’s … Continue reading →

This month’s header is a tribute to Leonard Nimoy

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Steve

I decided to go with a header like I’ve done for Superman, Batman, 1989 and William Shatner. Not necessarily as a tribute to his passing but March 26 would’ve been his 84th birthday. It’s nice to see all the outpouring … Continue reading →
