Josh Reviews A Wrinkle in Time
I loved A Wrinkle in Time when I was a kid. I remember I had a set of the three (at the time) books in the series by Madeleine L’Engle: A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. As I recall, I didn’t much care for A Swiftly Tilting […]
Josh Reviews The Good Place: Season Two
I didn’t watch the first season of The Good Place last year. But when season two began in the fall, I wondered, why am I not watching this new show by Mike Schur, who has been behind so many other great shows that I have loved (particularly Parks and Recreation)?? So I went
Josh Reviews Pacific Rim: Uprising
I wasn’t expecting that much from Pacific Rim: Uprising, and yet, the film still managed to underwhelm me. The film isn’t bad; it’s perfectly unoffensive yet instantly forgettable. I was super-excited for the first Pacific Rim, back in 2013. Any new film from Guillermo del T

I am pleased to have at last caught up with the fifth and most-recently published book in Christopher L. Bennett’s “Rise of the Federation” series of novels. Set a decade after the end of Star Trek: Enterprise, this series charts the lives of the Enterprise crew fo
Josh Reviews The X-Files: Season 11 — Part Two!
Click here for my comments on the first three episodes of The X-Files: Season 11. And now, onward! “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” — Darin Morgan only wrote four episodes from The X-Files’ original run, but they were among the series’ very best install
News Around the Net!
Let’s begin with this spectacular new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War: That is just great on all counts. I am in awe of the audaciousness of just how many main characters are being combined into this film. Thanos looks and sounds great. Seeing Chris Pratt and Robert Dow
Josh Looks Back on Star Trek: Discovery Season One
I have been thinking a lot about Star Trek: Discovery since the series wrapped up several weeks ago, and I have been having a lot of spirited conversations about the show with my fellow Trek fans. There is quite a range of opinions about the show among the Trek fans that I know. I
Josh Reviews The X-Files: Season 11 — Part One!
Back in 2016, The X-Files returned from the dead for a short sixth episode tenth season (what Fox called at the time an “event series”). Since 2002, I had been lamenting that it was a tragedy that The X-Files had been left without a proper ending. (The show ended in 20
Josh Reviews American Gods Season One
A few years ago I read and absolutely loved Neil Gaiman’s novel American Gods. It was weird and wonderful and funny and heartbreaking and I pretty much loved every page. I was of course interested when I heard that there would be a TV adaptation, and then when when it was an
Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Live By The Code
Live By the Code is the fourth book in Christopher L. Bennett’s “Rise of the Federation” series of novels. Set several years after the end of the fourth and final season of Enterprise, after the end of the Romulan war (chronicled in the Romulan War series of novels
