Coming Soon!
There’s a new, longer trailer out for Frank Miller’s The Spirit, the movie-version of comics pioneer Will Eisner’s comic book. And, well, I have no friggin’ idea what to make of this. Looks like it’ll either be brilliant of completely unwatchable. G
On the Fringe
I love sci-fi. Movies, TV shows, novels, comics, whatever. If its sci-fi, I’m interested. I’m also a big fan of J.J. Abrams. Not of everything he’s done, mind you. (I certainly was never interested in Felicity, and despite sampling episodes during each of the
Astonishing
The various X-Men comic books have been a sales juggernaut for Marvel Comics for almost forty years now, and the success of the three X-Men films has certainly furthered the spread of this franchise. There have been a heck of a lot of talented writers and artists involved in the X-M
News Around the Net
There’s a great, in-depth interview with Jon Favreau on his plans for Iron Man 2 (and 3!) to be found here. Some really interesting tid-bits to be had. I have a lot of faith in Favreau and am really excited to see what he and his team cook up over the next two years. I [&hel
The Chronicles Continue
Since I decided to write an in-depth dissertation on Season 1 of Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles a couple of weeks ago (back on August 29th), it seems like I also should weigh in on the season premiere that aired this past Monday. Over-all, it was a lot of fun — although since
The DVDs are Out There

The New Frontier
OK, this is my last posting having to do with Star Trek for a while — I promise! But yesterday — believe it or not — marked the 42nd anniversary of the airing of the first episode of the original Star Trek series. On September 8th, 1966, NBC aired “The Man Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier — Part II
In addition to the great series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels that I discussed yesterday, Pocket Books has really stepped up their game across the board. They have released a number of marvelous novels in the past few years dealing with ALL the different series in the Star Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier
The other day I mentioned here that there hasn’t been any truly great Star Trek around since Deep Space Nine went off the air back in 1999. Well, that’s not entirely true. Believe it or not, in the past few years, Pocket Book has put together a terrific line of Star Trek
Familiar Faces
Its always fun to be watching an old episode of a favorite TV show and spot a great guest star actor you’d never realized was there before. This happened twice to me recently. I was watching an old episode from the first season of The X-Files called “Shapes.”
