Another eye-rolling punchline.  I think I found this funny in high school, but now it seems sophomoric :-) (original archive here)

A little humor from last week's gamercat

It seems that prequels are the new rage when it comes to sci-fi on TV.  Here is the most recent trailer for Stargate: Origins (no...nothing to do with the Book of Origin and the Ori). It seems interesting, and hopefully it goes beyond to 10-12 mini episodes (10 minutes each) that it is originally planned to run.  I still want them to do a post Universe show (maybe even go back to the

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff My rating: 4 of 5 stars By the grace of covfefe! I am done! Well...this was an interesting book to read.

I suppose that's a fair jab - "the forehead of the week" :-) (original archive here)

The Secret History of Star Wars by Michael Kaminski My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was an interesting book to read. I am much more of a Star Trek person than a Star Wars person, but it was interesting to see how the sausage was made. The key question that came to mind as I was listening to all the revisionist history of this franchise is this: Who really owns (in an intellectual non-commercial
