Science Fiction-Science Fact: Our Burgeoning Societal Stupidity

One of the things I do besides spending way too much time reading, writing, watching TV and movies and perusing the internet is looking for the oddities of the universe.  One of these is the mystery of Easter Island, the myriad of stone carvings, what they represent and how they were carved and placed……and on […]

And Now, it’s Time to Play…..WHATS THAT SMELL!

This simply cannot end well. While perusing the Interwebs, I stumbled across what I inadvertently thought was a joke. Well cadets, the joke is on me, this stuff is real. http://shop.genkiwear.com/Star_Trek_Fragrances_s/91.htm At first I thought about the possibility of smelling like James T. Kirk and became mildly disgusted. My personal favorite is Pon Farr Perfume […]

Pay No Attention To That Blur In Your Reality

About 15 years ago I had the pleasure to interview Betty Hill, THE BETTY HILL of the Incident at Exeter the “supposed first “abduction” to be verified. For those of you, ignorant of the base story, look it up and don’t use the wikipedia, read a damn book. Anyhow, this was brought back to the […]

Mickey? I would like you to meet Hulk. You two have a lot to talk about.

I remember, years ago, when visiting Disneyworld Orlando, and hearing a marching band playing the Muppet Show Theme, signifying that Disney has just bought out Hensen studios.

Torchwood and Doctor Who: Sarah Conner and Dollhouse (Fox sux): Chuck

There will be absolutely no spoilers in this post so, no need to worry your furry heads that I will spill the proverbial magic beans about your viewing favorites. This is a vent article, nothing more, so take it in the spirit of viciousness it was written in.

Star Trek-The ReBoot and where I have been…….

Much has been said of this reboot of the Gene Roddenberry franchise. Praise for J.J. Abrams classic direction. Pro and con arguments on Zack Quinto’s portrayal of Spock. The wasted use of Eric Bana. By the way, who knew Uhura was so freakin’ hot? The use of dual time lines to reset what is now […]
