Last week Paramount released the Section 31 (made for TV) movie, set in the Star Trek Universe. As a fan of Trek I watched it, so here are a few thoughts, along with spoilers.  Don't claim you weren't forewarned ;-)There's a lot of hate about this film online, even before it dropped on Paramount+.  The familiar chorus of "It's not Star Trek" or "This isn't Star Trek, where's the optimism"

 And...here's my TVTime Year In Review, which they call a Rewind (do people get the reference anymore? 😅).I am not surprised that my first tracked viewing was Googlebox UK, there is usually some Christmas or New Year's special that's available on Channel 4.  I am also not surprised at the "Drama Devotee" style of watching because last year I spent a lot of time binging all the various

 Alllllright!  I guess there was one more Year In Review for 2023! This one came in while I was on vacation overseas. It seemed interesting enough to post about.  I think March was my busiest month because I probably marked a whole bunch of past seasons of shows as "viewed" and the platform took that to mean that I watched them in 2023.  I wish there was a "watched when originally

 TVTime, the app I use to track what I've watched on TV (and in various streaming services) gave me a "rewind" this year. I think some of my stats are a little skewed because I marked a lot of episodes watched in 2022 when I had really watched them in years prior, and I only really rated like 4% of the episodes that I watched.  Maybe in 2023 I'll rate things more consistently to see what

It seems like the 2021 trend in social media year-in-review stats was various cards that you scroll through on your tablet or phone. This one is from the app TV Time that I use to mark my TV viewing.  I suspect that the numbers are off since I marked some TV series as watched just to get them off my pending list (things like Diners, Driven-ins and Dives that seem to be going to revisit old spots

Digging into the "Finished some time ago" pile, this game was completed on 7/25/2020. This was a gamepass game that I wanted to try to finish before my gamepass expired.Coming into this game I knew of the Blair Witch Project. I remember the trailers and all the hubbub in the late 90s, but I have never seen the actual films.  The shaky cam in the previews didn't appeal to me.So why play this game? 

I've been debating which game(s) to move onto next on the xbox now that Assassin's Creed Syndicate is (mostly) done.  I realized the other day that the "free" games that we get on xbox live gold aren't really totally free.  You can claim games for free when they are available, and you can enjoy them, for free, so long as you have an active xbox live gold membership.  Considering

A recent comic I came across this past weekend. It made me laugh a bit, but it also made  me wonder: when did we turn a page as a society where we broadcast our every move... How did this happen? (not an "oh the horror!" type of question, just curious)

Last week I headed off to the movie theaters to see the new Assassin's Creed movie, which I have been waiting for with great excitement for a while (now, if only the Splinter Cell movie were to come out soon!). We also went during the day when there were only about 10 of us in the movie theater (seems like a waste, but I did like having more room to spread out, and if I laughed out-loud it wouldn't

OK...yes...I am still talking about Spain even though I've been back for two weeks now ;-) ID4: 2 I am catching up on some things that I wanted to blog about while I was away - namely in-flight entertainment.  Heading over to Europe is usually sleep-time on the plane, so I don't get to see a ton of movies, but coming back we're going back in time (so to speak) and that allows for some
