DS9+17: 116: If Wishes Were Horses

| August 9, 2010

Another done-in-one involving aliens with near-omnipotence.  Seems to be a lot of those in the ST universe.  Which is not really that hard to believe, all things considered.  These particular aliens examine new species by physically manifesting as things that people imagine.  Neat trick.  Plus, you probably get stuck in lots of sexual situations, which [...]

DS9+17: 111: The Nagus

| July 25, 2010

Wow, an episode all about Ferengi!  Talk about the most interesting thing ever.  Not! See what I did there?  I went back to the 90s with my verbiage, just like I’m doing with my sci-fi TV!    Wee. No, I didn’t laugh at that.  My jokes are so bad even I don’t laugh. Let’s run em [...]

book review: Stonecutter’s Story

| May 19, 2008

The Third Book of Lost Swords: Stonecutter’s Story by :Fred Saberhagen Nice long title for a relatively short book. This is yet another book that I really should have read (it was in my collection, and it’s almost unheard of for me to have a book without reading it) – but nothing inside set off [...]
