Momma’s gonna work it out… Gabrielle Burnham is on a mission, y’all – and woe betide any Starfleet officer who gets in her way! Well, at least she was on a mission. […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 11, “Perpetual Infinity”
multiversalbeta
Let's see, where to begin.....I suppose an explanation of my blog title is as good a starting point as any. In short, I've always been fascinated by the idea of multiversal existence (or “quantum universes” as it’s also referred to as). The idea that there are an infinite number of universes with an infinite number of "Erics" living an infinite number of varying lives. Being all too human, I have made numerous mistakes - part of the evolutionary cycle of living, I know. Sometimes it almost feels like I'm the universe's beta version of myself, a trial run before the final product. Somewhere out there, in the vastness of time and space, is a version of me that got it all right. This is what happens when you're a lifelong fan of science fiction and film: your mind goes to some supremely unusual places. But quite simply I'm just a scribbler who enjoys sharing a word or two about the things I'm most passionate about in life. And if you've enjoyed my weirdness thus far, it is for you that I continue to share.
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 9 (“Project Daedalus”) and Ep. 10 (“The Red Angel”)
It’s been a busy two weeks, what with birthday celebrations galore (a few of which were for this here feller). However, I still found time to keep up with Discovery (one must […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 8, “If Memory Serves”
It would appear that there is one, seemingly incontrovertible truth which pervades the whole of the cosmos: if your species is sentient, there will be family drama amongst it. This week we […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 7, “Light and Shadows”
Well, well, well…..look who decided to join the Discovery party. After six episodes of teasing, and teasing, and more teasing, Mister Spock finally makes his grand debut; well sort of. And, actually, […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 6, “The Sound of Thunder”
Well, it appears that Saru has undergone some evolutionary changes since last we saw him. His threat ganglia has been replaced by some sort of biological defense mechanism that acts as a […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 5, “Saints of Imperfection”
So, we’re five episodes in, and still no Spock. Alex Kurtzman sure does love to tease the shite out of us, doesn’t he? I mean, the way he’s building up Spock’s first […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 4, “An Obol For Charon”
I feel like this week’s episode had an entire “Constitution-class starship” of goods to unpack, even though its three major plot points weaved a narrative that was easy to follow, and devoid […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 3, “Point of Light”
Well, hot-damn! Another action-packed episode of Star Trek beams into our living rooms, mobile devices, and digital components for us carbon-units to dissect and obsess over. The season is a mere three […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 2, “New Eden”
William T. Riker strikes again! Yes, the good sir (and Jean-Luc’s trusty sidekick, er, I mean, First Officer) returns to the universe of Discovery, and gives us yet another great episode to […]
Star Trek: Discovery, S2, Ep. 1, “Brother”
Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery made its official debut this past Thursday, and what a debut it was, folks. I spent the weekend watching the season’s inaugural episode over and over […]
