    News Evan Evagora as "Elnor"

    I am really enjoying Evan Evagora's portrayal of everyone's favorite Aussie Romulan, Elnor. He has a Legolas (of LotR) coolness about him. A nice article on Evan's first meeting with Sir Patrick Stewart in The Hollywood Reporter.

    Spoilers CW Question: Supernatural vs Arrowverse

    In the latest episode of Supernatural ("Galaxy Brain") they show Chuck/God on "Earth 2" where he decides to eliminate alternate Earths. The Arrowverse just did the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Is this their way of saying they are all connected?

    Spoilers BAFFLED (1973) MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE

    I recently (within this past week) discovered the 1973 made-for-TV movie (and series pilot) "Baffled" starring Leonard Nimoy and Vera Miles was available to watch at no extra cost for Amazon Prime members - so I did. Now I remember seeing "Baffled" on television when it originally air but that...

    What If? [Discovery Edition]

    In re-watching some of Discovery I once again questioned the story's need to use Spock or Pike's Enterprise. Then I recently re-watched the TOS episode "Doomsday Machine," and thought Discovery's story could have just as easily been told with a younger Matt Decker and crewmembers from the U.S.S...

    News Doctor Who Classic Channel on Pluto TV

    Just a quickie blurb that the original Doctor Who Series is on channel 77 of the Pluto TV network (online and App). Stories are not shown in any order as the other day they ran the 4-part The Three Doctors and then jumped to the 2-part The Sontaran Experiment. Commercials are minimal.

    Spoilers Twilight Zone (2019- )

    Just finished the first episode of the new Twilight Zone on CBS All-Access. Overall I give it a "C." Jordan Peele's opening narration was fine, however, the closing narration was weak. Definitely what could have been a strong half hour was painfully stretched out to end up as a "meh" one hour...

    Spoilers Star Trek: The Old School Re-Exemanied

    WARNING: "SPOILERS" AHEAD! :lol: Started going back over The Original Series on Netflix. First up was "The Man Trap" and it was an interesting watch through modern eyes. This story was basically a simple monster hunt, yet by today's standards there was a shocking absence of empathy even after...

    News The Summer of Mark Hamill's Discontent

    Source: https://movieweb.com/star-wars-9-mark-hamill-complaints-last-jedi/ Apparently Mr. Hamill feels he was "hornswaggled" by Disney about his role in their Star Wars trilogy. It has the ring of truth, in my view, as George Lucas has voiced similar complaints over the past seven years since...

    Spoilers Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Redux

    The Tubi TV app is a free streaming service that has a variety of movies and TV shows. I noticed amongst their selection they currently have Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VIIII: Insurrection. Since it is a gloriously rainy day here in beautiful California I've decided to give...

    Spoilers Other Shows on CBS All-Access

    I subscribed to CBS All-Access in order to watch Star Trek Discovery however an unexpected bonus lay in the other programs they carry such as The Odd Couple (1970-1975) with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. Still hilariously funny after all these years, and talk about chemistry, WOW!

    Spoilers Star Trek II: Anyone else think it's odd that ...

    Anyone else think its odd that with the computing power of starships that the computer override access code for a Starfleet ship would be a simple 5 digit number? I mean how long would it have taken the Enterprise to break Reliant's code in a brute force attack? A nanosecond? It actually would...

    Spoilers Discovery (Season 1): Late To The Party

    Finally making my way through season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery. Just finished the 7th episode ("Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"). Halfway through it's freshman year and I've got to say it is a mixed bag. Mostly good and definitely better than Star Trek: Enterprise right out of the gate. At...

    Spoilers Netflix's Lost in Space: Revisited

    My current re-watching of Netflix's "Lost in Space" reboot was initially inspired by my online quest to find it's second season premier date (all I could find was speculations ranging from mid-April to mid-July). I was happy to say that it is still just as captivating as it's original viewing...

    Forbes: Paramount Has Canceled 'Star Trek 4,' And Disney's 'Star Wars' Is To Blame

    Forbes magazine published an article: Paramount Has Canceled 'Star Trek 4,' And Disney's 'Star Wars' Is To Blame. Basically says Paramount feels that now Disney is pumping out Star Wars movies yearly (as well as MCU)that Star Trek is best left to television as it is not a property that can...

    To Mildly Go Hither And Yawn. ;)

    One thing that turns me off regarding the "conventional wisdom" of how today's entertainment conglomerates treat their franchise lay in their constant re-exploitation of what has come before rather then any bold mining of it's potential. In this, I believe, Paramount pioneered this shortcoming...

    Spoilers Deep Space 9: Revisited and Reassessed

    Just began re-watching Deep Space 9 and have now completed "Emissary" (S1E1/2) . "Emissary" was excellent in terms of a series pilot. It let us know we were not getting a rehash of what had come before. Familiar, yes, but immediately we are informed these characters are more sophisticated in a...

    Iron Fist 2 (Netflix)

    Started watching season 2 of Iron Fist. Some improvements over season 1. Some weaknesses are carried over. The acting, overall, is better as the actors clearly have a better grip on their characters. Sadly, however, the writing still is confusing, contradictory and weak. "Cogent" is not a word...

    SAY WHAT? Marina Sirtis Almost Fired!

    NEWS: ScienceFiction.Com Sirtis claims she was almost fired during TNG's first season. Apparently that was at some point confirmed by Majel Barrett. I'm guessing she was ultimately saved by Denise Crosby volunteering to exit the series. Still, kind of misogynistic thinking to say there are too...
