Snacks of The Stars

Good food and essential snacking isn't just something we leave behind on planet Earth.  When we finally travel out to play and work among the awesome majesty of the stars, we'll need some good old fashioned sustenance.  Star Trek and Star Wars has had some pretty nifty ways to tie on the old feedbag.  Klingon Gagh?  Vulcan Plomeek Soup?  Yummy!

These Are Those That Never Boarded The Enterprise

Booze In Space

Everybody needs a good, stiff drink now and then, however, the crew of the Enterprise seemed always to be drinking.  The folks over at Deep Space Nine also imbibed quite a bit.  Romulan Ale.  Saurian Brandy.  What is it about space travel that has everyone boozing it up?

Artificial Intelligence - The Sci-Fi Version

Scientists tell us - A.I. is coming to our world.  We keep talking about A.I. - artificial intelligence.  We're not there yet. Despite major advances in 'machine learning' or expert systems, computers are still pretty dumb.  What will happen when A.I. becomes a reality, and the machines start talking back to us and make sense?  

Read about science fiction's depiction of A.I. in my new OMNI article.

My Confessions

I'm coming clean.  Confession is healthy, right? Here are my confessions about Star Trek for the 50h Anniversary.  LLAP!

First Captain - First Adventure - First DVD

Where it all began - The Cage - both the original and restored version. This is the first Star Trek DVD of the original series. 

Carol Burnett Captain Of The Enterprise

Comedy has always played a big, even vital part in Gene Roddenberry's Wagon Train To The Stars.  So, there's not much surprise to find many great spoofs focusing on Star Trek.  One of the best, but unfortunately, least seen of them all is Carol Burnett strutting around as a decidedly changed James T. Kirk.  Set phasers on fun!

My new OMNI article explains.

Rio 2016 - The Olympic Games meet The Science Fiction Games

Science Fiction runs the gamut as a fun peek into the future, a frightening look at how our tech and know how can negatively transform our lives, to exploring important social and cultural highlights into just how different or extreme our lives can get - by simply asking What If? Every four years, our world puts on The Olympics.  How does sci-fi like The Hunger Games, Star Trek and Star Wars reflect athleticism?  Read about it in my new OMNI article.

Sarah Silverman - Almost A Crew Member Of Starship Voyager

Comedian Sarah Silverman as a member of Captain Janeway's crew? It almost happened.  After Silverman guested on the UPN show, producer Brannon Braga toyed with the idea of bringing the comic onto Star Trek as a full fledged member of the cast.

Read about it in my new OMNI article.

Election 2016 - Starship Captains and Presidential Candidates

A certain Vulcan science officer might say, 'America's Presidential Election 2016 isn't logical.' But even Spock may concede that it's downright wacky fun.  Take a read here, and see just who matches up in an election season that's simply out of this world.

Those Other Crew Members

Not keen on including Riker or Spock on your best of crew list?  Tired of all those Kirk Vs Picard memes and polls?  Here's the Twitter poll for you!  Who do you like out of those 'honorary crew' members?

Pon Farr Gone Too Far?

The Vulcan time of mating and sexual play, Pon Farr, may go a bit too far for some.  In 1984, Leonard Nimoy directed the 3rd big Trek feature film, Search For Spock, and though it's more remembered as the quest to find Spock and his soul or katra, it's also a search for a Vulcan's lost libido.

Winona Ryder - Spock's Mom Does Stranger Things

Spock's mom can now be found in a new TV show.  Winona Ryder, who played mother to Zachary Quinto's Spock in J.J. Abrams' big feature film of Star Trek, is now a mom amid a bunch of really weird things in the Netflix original series, Stranger Things.

The Game of Pokemon Go According To Wesley Crusher

I'm excited to announce that I've joined forces with OMNI - here is my first article.

As a kid, I wouldn't miss an issue on the newsstand.  OMNI informed me, entertained me and most importantly of all, as a burgeoning writer, it fired my imagination more than any other magazine at the time or probably since.  

The Man From Earth

For those who are looking for intelligent and compelling sci-fi drama - touching on just about practically everything - please check out the wonderful movie, The Man From Earth.  Written by Star Trek and The Twilight Zone scribe, Jerome Bixby, the film is a highly engaging look at the mythological notion of the Immortal Man.
