Science Fiction-Science Fact – Mars, A One Way Trip?

November 17th, 2010 | Posted in Science Fiction/Science Fact

This month’s issue of The Journal of Cosmology is dedicated to essays from prominent scientists with the unified theme of Mars Exploration.  Many of the articles are the stuff of science facts, figures, extrapolation and, considering this IS the Journal of Cosmology, that makes sense. What is causing some quiet talk around the Hadron Collider […]

Ted Sturgeon’s Second Law and Episode Two of The Walking Dead

November 10th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

As Yoda would say, “Tired, I become, of all the haters I hear,” and yes, Yoda is correct. Episode 2 of the Walking Dead was great fun and yet the haters and snarks and grumblers in the Inter-webs abound with every stupid comment one can conceive about why it’s just not good. I argue that […]

The overnights are calling it the […]

Tale of Two Series: Why They Deserve a Second Look

October 15th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

A month into the new season, and TV shows are falling faster than gerblicks on a Frunetk Patch. Or to put it in other words, Genre TV ratings are sinking back to the same level they have consistently been for the last decade. Is this a bad thing? Well, yes and no. Yes, because (especially if you’re FOX) you demand […]

Authors from my past: Ron Goulart

October 15th, 2010 | Posted in Literature

It dawned on me recently that there are a slew of authors that, though they were well read in my formative years, have since fallen out of favor. It happens, but when it does, we lose part of the rich landscape of our diverse literary heritage. This series is an attempt to bring overlooked authors […]

Scriptease, just as dirty as it sounds…

October 13th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV, Websites

Perhaps one of the most original and funny features is something called Scriptease, in which a TV show’s entire season or a complete run is eviscerated into bite sized gems of hilarity. Past shows they have poked their sharp stick at are […]

The Two Words I have Always Longed to Say:

October 4th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies, TV

Cassandra Peterson God, I love her. She is iconic and more than a … passing fantasy. When the crew toured Spooky World last week, all kept hearing in my minds eyes was her saucy voice, whispering things to me. I miss you Elvira. I miss your haunted hills, I miss your sly comments. And now, […]
