In 1979 I went to see Star Trek the Motion Picture. As a nine year old, I became bored pretty quickly, so I jumped to a different screen and watched Black Hole. As an adult, Star Trek: TMP is by far my favorite of the two films. I don’t regret jumping ship, as it were.… Continue reading Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Contrary to appearances, I enjoy new media as well as old. From both Avatar series and the most awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of 2012 to Filoni's Clone Wars and Rebels, I love great stories. Even when those stories are remakes of childhood favorites. Some of these remakes are far better than any of the… Continue reading My Favorite Streaming Shows this Year

Since I have only seen both films once it… Continue reading Spending Thanksgiving Day with the Avengers
It's been a while since I watched some old school Doctor Who. I wanted to toss on some 4th Doctor but I had a second thought... so I started my Tom Baker era with the tale that began his run. While I am not as familiar with Jon Pertwee's Doctor, I do have an… Continue reading Jon Pertwee: The 007 of the Time Lords
