    The Final Countdown ... counting down

    I remember watching this back in '80 and liked watching the latest, greatest aircraft and military machinery in action. But you can't stop the inexorable march of time. All of those aircraft are now retired, except for the venerable Hawkeye. And the Nimitz herself, now the grande dame of the...

    Apple computers circa 2028

    So is anyone dreading 2028? Apple introduced their M1 chips late last year and is expected to introduce M2 early next year. their current rate of advancement, Apple should be introducing new systems that year featuring M5 chips. Kind of worrying. On the other hand, if they put out a Mac...

    Episodic vs. serialized

    What's your preference? I have to admit with my attention span getting shorter by the year that I have less patience for serialized. There are so many recent shows where if I miss one or two episodes, that show is dead to me. I watched all of Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow until the...

    Amazing Stories (Apple TV - 2020)

    So has anybody watched this yet? Any opinions? Haven't had time to watch the entire first episode yet, only the titles. Good to see they kept John Williams' classic, exhilarating theme almost unchanged, although I can hear slight differences that tell me it's not the same recording from 35 years...

    The Final Countdown (watched in 2019)

    Yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day, and more somber than usual due to the mass shooting a few days ago. I always like to watch this movie around this time of year. A little depressing in recent years since virtually all of the aircraft shown in the movie, once state of the art, are now retired...

    Could "The Starlost" be remade today?

    Yes, the special effects were awful, the writing horrendous and the science absolutely abysmal. But setting all that aside, would it be possible to make a reboot? Not just because SFX technology has advanced so much, but because there might have been potential there. The only thing is I'm not...

    The Last Starfighter sequel

    Catherine Mary Stewart teased this past summer that a sequel might finally be getting greenlighted. I have no idea what the news is since I don't want to slog through three months and several hundred of her Facebook posts to find it. I'm not sure I'd be all that enthusiastic about it, either...

    Could you face death?

    So it's been 15 years now since the Columbia disintegrated on re-entry. The astronauts were probably terrified as they were violently and unexpectedly thrown around. According to Wikipedia, the prevailing attitude back then, even among some astronauts, was: It's sort of a Kobayashi Maru...

    Luke's other students

    Sorry if this has been already been addressed. Luke says Ren vanished with a handful of his students. So what became of those Force-adept students? We haven't seen anybody in the First Order using the Force except Snoke and Ren. Not even Snoke's personal guards, who could fight well but didn't...

    Jodie Whittaker's accent

    I've never watched her in her other roles. Is her accent very thick? Her first two words of dialog weren't promising. I couldn't make out what she said, having to turn on subtitles just to find out it was "Oh, brilliant." Watched an interview with her that's on YouTube and there were entire...

    The Making of Star Trek - out of print?

    Is this book out of print? I looked on Amazon and the paperbacks are going for $30 and up. I was hoping to find a cheap copy in rather bad shape (like a heavily creased spine) to scan so I could have it on my tablet and computer, but that would involve cutting the book apart. Not paying $30 for...

    Wrath of Khan - 35th anniversary

    Anybody else planning to rewatch the Wrath of Khan in two weeks to commemorate the anniversary of TWoK's release on June 4, 1982? I can't believe it'll be 35 years already. Still remember that day I went to the theater and sat through three matinees, two evening shows and the midnight showing...
