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 His threat ganglia has been replaced by some sort of biological defense mechanism that acts as a […]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. 6, “The Sound of Thunder”
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. 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 […]
Star Trek: Shorts, “Calypso”
Merry Christmas, fellow geeks! According to the age-old, and long-held tradition of activities one should partake in during the 25th of December, I suppose “Christmas,” or “holiday” themed films should be on […]
What Stan Meant To Me
Where does one begin with recounting the impact a single artist had on their inconsequential life? I mean, I can easily narrate a thesis for each, separate era of my existence if […]
Star Trek: Shorts, “Runaway”
I’m pretty positive that, like yours truly, the rest of y’all are counting down the days until Star Trek: Discovery season two drops; like a fat, jolly old man down a chimney […]
Doctor Who: The Woman Who Fell to Earth
The Doctor: “Why are you calling me ‘madam’?” Yasmin Khan: “Because you’re a woman.” The Doctor: “Am I? Does it suit me?” Yasmin Khan: “What?” The Doctor: “Oh yeah. I remember. Sorry. […]
