“But first, some scenes from Part 1…” “The 55 Year Mission” in Las Vegas is a Star Trek convention by any other name. Creation Entertainment, which has traditionally held the license to host “official” Star Trek conventions was forced to rebrand their world-famous Star Trek convention in Las Vegas this year, after losing the official…

Season 5 of “The Expanse” returns to our solar system with a bang…
*****ASTEROID-SIZED SPOILERS AHEAD!!***** I was a Johnny-come-lately to “The Expanse,” and I freely admit that I’ve not yet read the books (written by “James S. A. Corey”; pen name for writers Daniel Abraham & Ty Franck). In fact, I almost gave up on the show a few episodes into season one because it was so…
Season 4 of “The Expanse” sticks the landing at Amazon Prime….
Amazon Prime has resurrected SyFy’s cancelled sci-fi saga “The Expanse,” and it’s never been better. The greater production value afforded by Amazon’s money bags have given the series a luxe sheen that is greatly deserved, as “The Expanse” is easily one of the greatest sci-fi series going on right now (and of the 21st century…
Amazon Prime saves “The Expanse”….
Today, I heard some truly terrific news that I’d like to take this opportunity to share wi– — um, yes, er, of course, Madame Secretary. * ahem * A couple weeks ago, I had the intense displeasure of writing this post: SyFy cancels “The Expanse,” and the grieving begins… Then today, I heard this: Via cinemablend.com…
SyFy cancels “The Expanse,” and the grieving begins…
I’ll admit; I’m a Johnny-come-lately to “The Expanse” party, and I’ve not read the books yet, either. But I’m a sincere, devoted and passionate fan of this TV series, and it has filled the hole in my heart that’s existed ever since reimagined “Battlestar Galactica” ended its run in 2009…a hole that even BSG’s spinoff…
My long relationship with science-fiction television…
The way it was. When I was a kid there was an emergent wave of science fiction and fantasy films in the multiplexes. “Star Wars,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Superman: The Movie,” as well as countless lesser-quality imitators of each, such as “Starcrash” (an exceptionally awful movie), “Hangar 18” (a dumbed-down “X-Files”…
“The Expanse” S3 premiere; “Fight or Flight”…
The show to which I am now officially addicted as of last season is back, and I just caught Season 3’s premiere, “Fight or Flight.” I don’t want to give one of my usual long-winded, spoiler-laden reviews because with the show being so serialized, it’s best if I save that for my S3 recap. The…
WonderCon 2018 is a wrap…
What a weekend! My wife and I (along with our friend/longtime-partner-in-crime Ali) spent last Friday afternoon through Sunday evening in the fair city of Anaheim (a half hour away at maximum warp and home of Disneyland) attending WonderCon. I’ve heard WonderCon described as ‘Comic Con Jr.’ It has many of the same elements that comprise Comic Con…
Personal Favorites of 2017
Just want to begin by saying that for this year’s favorites list, I’m going to get away from numerical or other arbitrary values (same way I won’t give ‘thumbs up’ or 1-5 star ratings, etc). So unlike last year’s list, I’m not going to do rankings. Just a list. I also recognize that there are many…
Tiptoeing into “The Expanse”…
“The Expanse” is a SyFy channel series that premiered in 2015, and is based on a book series by James S. A. Corey (which I’ll confess I’ve never read, let alone heard of till recently). When the show first premiered, I was intrigued by the promotional material I’d seen at Comic Con 2015; the series…
