Well first of all, I want to thank both of you for having the cajones (metaphorically speaking) to stand up for what's right, even though it probably won't endear either one of you to the left-leaning trek/science fiction community. Maybe that's w...
Listen to this message about ObamaCare. They haven't won yet, neither will they. http://bit.ly/315o61
The thing I hate the most about the bill passing this first round is that our representatives are supposed to be there *representing* the people from their state. The representatives that voted yes are just plain stupid. I have yet to meet an *int...
I hear ya! Obamacare is a disaster to come by any measurement. I'm disabled myself so I have a clear idea what's at stake if this monstrosity is passed by the Senate. The only way to save ourselves is to contact and make it crystal clear to your S...

- About Me:
- Greetings, Gentlebeings,
What can I say? I was born in 1966--the same year that TOS premiered--so it was innevitable that I'd be a trekkie! TOS will always be a classic, but I'm especially drawn to DS9 because it, like me, is considered the weird kid of the family! I'm here because I'm desperate for any contact with other Trek fans, or fans of SF in general. I also hope to maybe meet a nice Orion Slave Girl or Borg Babe. BTW: I'm a vent-dependent quadraplegic with SMA. No big deal.
I've added the cover to my latest book, Suka: A Paul Murdock Novel. All are available at authorhouse.com

Terminator...Salvation?
Supposedly, Christian Bale initially turned down the role of John Connor in Terminator: Salvation, then said, "Write a story that could be performed on stage with no special effects, and I'll do it."
It must've been the money.
Talk about a disappointment! I've wanted to see that post-nuke future since T1 came out in '84, but instead of guerilla warfare in the bombed-out ruins of nighttime LA, we get car chases in the desert that were done--and done better--30 years ago in Mad Max. Here's the s… Continue

Lucky Hat Story
Interesting story behind the hat I'm wearing in my new avatar.
Back in '97, I was at a con where the GoH was Jeremy Bulloch, the British actor best known for playing Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. He and I were talking in the lobby one day when Mom asked if she could take a pic. "Sure!" Jeremy said, then gave me a dirty look and added, "Even if you are wearing that damn Babylon 5 hat." Just as Mom snaps the Polaroid, Jeremy flips up the bill of my cap so that I loo… Continue

TREK XI: THE VERDICT
Most of the TOS cast are either elderly or dead, and the folks from TNG are getting pretty long in the tooth, as well. Neither VOY or ENT generated the ratings to warrant a big budget movie, and although DS9 had--IMHO--some of the best writing in the franchise, Paramount seems to treat it like the bastard child that nobody talks about.
So what's left to do? You rewrite history!

I'll be hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
Let me warn all of you in advance: my review--which I hope to post tomorrow--will contain spoilers. There's no way I can talk about a movie without...well, talking about it! So if you don't make it to the theatre tomorrow, just skip my blog until you do. I've been avoiding reviews all week!

Wolverine: This Explains The Attitude
Even though Wolverine has always been my favorite X-Man, going back to the comics, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to carry a movie on his own. His interaction/head-butting with Charles Xavier and Cyclops were the most interesting character moments of the first 3 X-Men movies. This latest addition to the franchise puts those doubts to rest.

Linnéa Carlsson said… - Yes, I've been monitoring the shops here in my town for about two months, and in the beginning I thought they made some kind of type-o with the release date, but lucky me it was not!
Saw it yesterday and it was just as I remembered it -awesome!

Kishin said… - Hi, Mike! Hallowe'en in Philly was properly gray and wet. WE got lots of candles in, invited the neighbors over for stew and beer and gave the kids Snickers. Some good costumes this year--a fireman, Wolverine, a brace of princesses. I put on a TNG jumpsuit and got taken for something from Star Wars. *sigh* At least I don't have three heads!
How did yours go?

Good luck with the story, who knows the thought of cold hard cash might entice you to finish.

- I don't mind making myself public. This site was just infected with a bad element of tool bags and other assorted jackasses so I left for Treklair, the I just dropped off the fan networks altogether (nothing against the lair). Looks like they cleaned it up for now so I think I'll stick around.
How's the writing going these days?
