An Uncle Sam Review & Recommendation: Question? Why would anyone want to invest their hard-earned bucks into a DVD set of a program that only aired a few shows and left you hanging as to the outcome? Well, it would seem the good folks over at CBS Paramount think there are enough fans of their [...]
Open Letter to Slice of SciFi Fans
April 5, 2006 By 15 Comments
Today I got a post from a fan of Slice of SciFi that expressed a bit of disappointment in our last Show #51 and felt that somehow we are beginning to slip and miss the whole point of our show and website. Since, none of us live in a vaccum I have to assume that [...]
Life After Trekking The Stars

STAR TREK may be away for a season (or two - or three), but you can still catch the work of many of your favorite celebs in other projects until they get the call-back to "boldly go where no one has gone before."

When I saw this movie with my wife, it was a Saturday night. We showed up half-an-hour before the movie was to begin... but there was no need as there were no lines.
Opening weekend... and no lines.

Uncle Sam's Rant: Star Trek
October 6, 2005 By Leave a Comment
I, personaly, do not suffer from "Franchise Fatique," but I do suffer from poor production quality and non-innovative writing from those who were entrusted with the future of Star Trek. May the spirit of Roddenberry infuse the soul of some young writers and producers down the road so that when Star Trek does return (and it will), then that AWE that is such an intergral part of this legend will return to inspire another generation of dreamers and scientific groundbreakers.
The Future Is the Past

In the past, science fiction was written off as a literary form for dreamers and surrealist artists. Today colleges and universities around the country offer classes and seminars that discuss this valuable expression of politics and culture.
No matter what politico-cultural orientation, a science-fiction work can inform your understanding of ideologies.

Zap had some rather pissy things to say about us. Oddly enough, he sent this to our Dragon Page email addresses, when the topic is clearly TV. Must not have been listening to us for too long or he would have known where to send the mail. Wanna see it? You people call yourselves Sci-Fi [...]
Hail to the Fanboys - Grass Roots & SciFi
July 16, 2005 By Leave a Comment
As something of a "fanboy advocate," I find Fandom and the hidden power of a fanbase to be a seductive and compelling side of Sci Fi. Unfortunately, it's still the exception rather than the rule where a television series maker will take notice of their core fanbase and purposefully try to toss them a few bones every once in awhile ...
Cry Foul, and let slip the rage of fans

[ This is my commentary on the Enterprise finale. Spoilers may ensue. ] Finally watched the series finale of Enterprise. Well. How was I ripped off by that? Let me count the ways... okay, Shakespeare mode off. I was only a casual viewer of the show, and I still felt horribly ripped off. I can [...]
