It is always nice to be reminded how much you don’t know. I don’t say that facetiously either. Strolling through the library recently, looking for something to read, I was confronted with shelves full of authors that I’d either heard of, and wasn’t interested in, or had read or authors Read more…
Before Captain Marvel came out there was a concerted effort by a certain segment of the population committed to hating it. In some ways, I can understand that. There are plenty of movies I’m sure I won’t like and feel bad that they even exist. But I just don’t go Read more…
I love binge watching a show. Don’t get to really binge very often. Usually, one or two episodes three or four nights a week is our peak binge. If I’m really into something I could go for three episodes at a time for a few nights in a row but Read more…
I’ve always enjoyed a Ken Follett book. They’re engaging, epic and give a fun look at a different period of time. I especially like the audiobook versions read by John Lee. I’ve actually listened to more of his books rather than read them. Sadly, I think he has just as Read more…
Welcome! Everything is fine. Spoilers, obviously. I’ve enjoyed previous Michael Schur shows (Parks and Rec, Brooklyn 99) so it was inevitable I would eventually watch The Good Place. My wife, however, usually isn’t a fan of sit-coms. She’s seen a few episodes of those other ships, and similar ones (The Read more…

We came across this show recently on Netflix kind of randomly. Following a group of high school students in 1996 it had the perfect audience for us. Three of the characters are high school freshmen, and my wife and I happened to be in that grade in 1996. It’s almost Read more…
“Star Captain Annie” by Will Cereal starts out with a nearly derelict ship. The sentient AI searches for any surviving crew but the only survivor turns out to be the captain’s infant daughter; who is immediately promoted to captain. The next episode jumps to find a nine-year-old Captain Annie the sole crew Read more…
Disclaimer: Star’s Tempest is published on the same site as some of my own work. Star’s Tempest is a sci-fi retelling of Shakespeare’s Tempest. It makes no effort to hide this, as some stories do. Some authors will take an old classic, like Shakespeare, and write something based entirely on Read more…
Our family is a big fan of Star Wars Rebels. I started watching it when my son was still quite young. He grew into it. And then my wife got into it too. By the end, watching new episodes was a family activity. The crew of the Ghost have replaced Han, Read more…
