Netflix Brings The Sci-Fi

Netflix is doing Sci-Fi right.  From the 80's tribute Stranger Things to the upcoming Lost In Space, the streaming service is giving science fiction fans what they want most - solid, awe inspiring and fun sci-fi programs.

Check out my new OMNI article about Netflix and Sci-Fi:

Halloween III - Season of the Witch - Androids Run Amuck

It may not be Star Trek, but fans of Halloween III: Season of the Witch - directed by John Carpenter - remember those nasty androids - straight out of the darker episodes of Trek.

"Star Trek Sex" Comes Home To Bearmanor Media

"My friends.  We've come home."  -  Captain Kirk, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

I'm so thrilled to resume the blog after summer break, and I can now announce some really big news:

Star Trek Sex has found a new home at Bearmanor Media.

If you haven't visited Bearmanor Media, you're in for a real treat.  They have one of the most eclectic selection of books on classic films, television and radio.  Here, you'll find titles on classic monster films like Dracula's Daughter or Bride of Frankenstein.  For the comic book geeks out there, and I proudly number myself among them, there's How To Be A Superhero.  Books on classics such as The Time Tunnel or Here Come The Brides are sold next to Hollywood memoirs such as the great actress and comedian Charlotte Rae's new memoir, The Facts Of My Life.

Above all, I'm a loyal fan of classic film and television.  Owner and publisher Ben Ohmart is a vigilant custodian of the kind of infectious fan flame which made me write for the Star Trek TV shows.  Before Bearmanor Media published Star Trek Sex, I was a regular visitor to the site.  Now that I'm part of the Bearmanor family, it's a safe bet I'll be visiting (and buying) even more regularly.

The Love Of Science Fiction - Love & Sex in Sci-Fi

Space... The final frontier... The cosmos....  it's a really, really big place.  They say the most important question we can ask ourselves as a species is:  Are we alone?  Well, it's certainly no fun to be alone, at least all the time.  Like the sci-fi movie Contact (based on Carl Sagan's novel) promotes:  If we are all alone, it seems like an awful waste of space.  In Ridley Scott's Alien, they say, In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream.  Scream - from what, the desperation of loneliness?

Being all alone - even on a crowded planet - is definitely not much fun either.  Fans of Star Trek know that Captain Kirk (William Shatner) wasn't the kind of guy to be lonely for very long.  He may have been a bit too amorous for some of the more prudish among us, but compared to say James Bond, or the devilish Han Solo (Harrison Ford), James T. Kirk wasn't so unusual.  Kirk's crew is also no stranger to the poetry of love, or even the lustful leanings of plain, old fashioned sex.  From Spock to Scotty, Chekov to Uhura, the Enterprise crew knew that partnering up during those demanding space voyages was not only healthy, but downright logical.
