Star Trek: The Captain’s Oath
Christopher L. Bennett’s fantastic new Star Trek novel, The Captain’s Oath, serves as something of an origin story for Captain James T. Kirk. But whereas J.J. Abrams’ rebooted Star Trek movie, and its sequels, told a story outside of established Star Trek continui

Josh Reviews The Mandalorian: Season One
I loved the first episode of The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars TV show, and the rest of the eight-episode Disney+ series did not disappoint! Creator Jon Favreau (who wrote six of the eight episodes) has accomplished an incredible feat. He has created a series that fee
