“Garden of Bones” Things just keep getting darker and darker, don’t they? That’s the impression I get when reading this portion of the second novel, and the TV series is doing an excellent job of sucking us into that morass. We’re also getting an avalanche of new characters and venues […] Read more
“Revelation” My take on “Korra” is pretty much the same after this week’s episode as it was after the two pre-airs – I’m finding the plot a lot more interesting than the characters. That’s rather unusual for me, as I almost always focus on character first, but that aspect may […] Read more
“What is Dead May Never Die” For my money, this was the best episode of Game of Thrones so far this season. It was beautifully paced, tight as a drum and full of memorable scenes both new and note-faithful to the book. The changes that were made didn’t feel so […] Read more

Every time I see a rerun of “The Inner Light” on BBC America or SyFy, I’m reminded of what a beautiful piece of TV is it. This is the orchestral suite that was written based on the flute melody Picard played in the episode. Read more
A little something to get you in the mood for season 2. Read more
Be afraid, be very afraid: You know this was coming sooner or later – I’m only shocked it’s taken over 40 years. Morbid curiosity and the 14 year-old fanboy residing inside me will compel me to read this, but it’s safe to say I’ll be expecting very little. Read more
