Why You Shouldn’t Bother with TSCC

… perhaps that picture isn’t the best non-motivator. Oh well. If you’re a Terminator super fan like I am, chances are you’re not thrilled with where the series has gone. Terminator 1 to me was a Jason-style slasher flick. Borderline horror movie. It was good as movies go, definitely ahead of its time. However one that could have wound up on the ‘forgettable’ list. … Read More Why You Shouldn’t Bother with TSCC

Star Trek Discovery: The Elephant in the Room

I’ve really wanted to tackle this one for a while, but the issues with Discovery seemed a lot more wide-spread than just the show. As a result, I had to address the more global issue first. To give a little background into my experience with Star Trek, I started off watching seasons 2-3 of The Next Generation. Then my father introduced me to Wrath … Read More Star Trek Discovery: The Elephant in the Room

You May Not Know…

Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron have met before… in the movie Inside Llewyn Davis, we see them along side Justin Timberlake singing a song that… ironically seems a little anti-space-travel. I haven’t seen this movie, so I don’t understand the context of the song though… Also is it just me or does it look like Kylo Ren is the only one having any fun … Read More You May Not Know…

DO NOT MESS WITH NERDS!

… I’m starting to think that abandoning Star Trek in it’s entirety was the best thing I could do. Will I watch it when it comes out? I mean I have a Netflix account, so I may give an episode or 2 a watch just to see how badly it will bomb, but otherwise no. […]

Star Trek In Crisis?

… I’m starting to think that abandoning Star Trek in it’s entirety was the best thing I could do. Will I watch it when it comes out? I mean I have a Netflix account, so I may give an episode or 2 a watch just to see how badly it will bomb, but otherwise no. I also do not intend to pay for CBS … Read More Star Trek In Crisis?

Nostalgia Goggles.

You ever watch a good movie, read a good book, or go somewhere fun, and store it away in your memory? Then years later, you go back to that thing and its not nearly what you remember? Sometimes its better, sometimes it worse, and some times its just different than what your mind recorded. For me, I have a few examples: Masters of the … Read More Nostalgia Goggles.

Final Fantasy 7 Resurrect Aeris/Aerith Rumors

With the release of the new Final Fantasy 7 remastered coming down the pipe, I thought it’d be fun to talk about something that drove gamers INSANE for years… resurrecting Aeris after we all went through the heart-wrenching loss of her character in the City of the Ancients. Disclaimer, I played the original playstation version that named her Aeris. I’m well aware of the … Read More Final Fantasy 7 Resurrect Aeris/Aerith Rumors

Star Wars, Never As Good…

I’ve heard a lot of people question whether or not we’ll ever get another movie as good as the originals… The prequels were a disaster, the spinoffs have been decent to laughable, and The Force Awakens was good… ish? Sigh… So the question remains, will we ever get another movie as good or as groundbreaking as the original trilogy? Well get your pitchforks ready, … Read More Star Wars, Never As Good…

Unpopular Opinion: Yes, The Ewok Adventures ARE CANON!!

Someone needs to make a fan film ‘Star Wars Infinite: The Canon Wars.’ Directors, get on it!!! Yeah for a very long time now we’ve seen fans arguing back and forth over what is and is not canon… and my understanding is that the ONLY things that are considered canon now are the films and anything that George Lucas himself had a hand in… … Read More Unpopular Opinion: Yes, The Ewok Adventures ARE CANON!!
