I was quite fortunate to chat with the great Bjo Trimble last month. Trimble, if you don’t know, worked with her husband John to save Star Trek in 1968. The letter writing campaign they spearheaded convinced NBC and Paramount to…
I’ve been rewatching Star Trek lately – not Deep Space Nine, not The Next Generation, not even Voyager or Enterprise. I’m old school, so when I say I’m watching Star Trek, that’s what I’m doing. Paramount and CBS would like…
It’s that time of year, again. The night HE came home. I’ve been a fan of the Halloween movies for a long time, ever since I first saw the original on broadcast TV the weekend that Halloween 2 debuted in…
I was young and stupid in the early 90s. I had a lot of really cool collectibles and comics, but I also did not have much money. So I did what I’ve had to do a couple of times since…
It was a LONG time ago: May 1987. I was living in Pinson, Alabama and I had always wanted to go to a go to a “real” Science fiction convention. I had attended a couple of small events in Birmingham…
I just picked up the Marvel Super Special adaptation of the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica – it was in a special “tabloid size” (which really showcased the gorgeous art of Ernie Colon) as well as magazine-sized. The super special was…
I recently had the opportunity to watch the documentary Batman & Bill, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The film highlights the quest by writer Marc Tyler Nobleman to get credit to (the late) writer Bill Finger for co-creating…
I hate to admit it but I have spent a LOT of time in the Disney Park – Since I’m only an 8 hour drive from Orlando I have visited Walt Disney World at least once a year for the…
This is a very self-indulgent post. I can see some people reading the title of this and reacting thusly: “Fix Galaxy’s Edge? It just opened, it doesn’t need fixing! Why, the new area of Disneyland is so popular, they are…
Remember when being a sci-fi or fantasy fan was FUN? Yeah, I know – it seems like a long time ago, right? Those days are gone, especially if you have a presence on the toxic beast that is social media.…
This article was recently posted online, listing the top 50 soundtracks of all time. As a fan of film music, I eagerly clicked on this list – and was profoundly disappointed. Apparently the author of this list barely considered any…
It’s that time of year, the time where we cast off the shackles of the previous year and look forward to the opportunities that the new one will present. I decided to take one more look back, though, to contemplate…

I recently completed reading the great two-volume set The 50 Year Mission, An Oral History of Star Trek, and it got me thinking. The first volume, covering the original series and the subsequent films with the original cast, had some…
