Welcome Back Since the Southern California Inland Empire’s first Comic Con Revolution (CCR) in 2017, my wife and I have attended nearly each one, save for 2022, when we attended the COVID-delayed “Star Wars Celebration 2022,” which unfortunately, landed on the same weekend. While my wife and I have attended many big ticket conventions, including…
“The Orville: New Horizons” deserves a renewal…
*****QUANTUM-DRIVE SPOILERS!***** Charting a Course. Writer/producer/star Seth MacFarlane’s “The Orville,” which debuted on the Fox TV network in September of 2017, had a longer than expected hiatus between its second and third seasons, due to the chaos caused by the global COVID pandemic. When the series finally returned in June of 2022, it left Fox…

*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!!***** With its renewal on the bubble, “The Orville: New Horizons” has just wrapped its third and possibly final season. So, how does “The Orville” conclude?

*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!***** There’s been an avalanche of sci-fi TV content lately, and it’s been difficult for me to do ongoing reviews for all the new episodes of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, and “For All Mankind,” (two current favorites). I didn’t plan to dole out so much exclusive attention on “The Orville: New Horizons” (“Twice…

*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!***** “Lasting Impressions.” The second season of The Orville featured the episode “Lasting Impressions”, a variation on Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Booby Trap,” which saw Geordi La Forge fall in love with a holographic representation of one of the Enterprise-D’s designers, Dr. Leah Brahms. Things got a little ‘icky’ when the real Brahms…

*****STARSHIP-SIZED SPOILERS!****** “About a Girl” Revisited. Seth MacFarlane’s space series, “The Orville,” began in the fall of 2017 as a quasi-sendup of Star Trek, and I have to admit, the pilot episode, “Old Wounds,” didn’t exactly fire all of my thrusters. In fact, many of the series’ earliest episodes would insert annoying sight gags and…
