Lower Decks Episode 2 introduces us to the Cerritos' new Security Chief. In a great call back to TNG we get our first Tamarian Starfleet officer. Kayshon is an entertaining addition to the crew even if he spent most of the show as puppet. Although the main plot involving Mariner on a Collectors vessel contained... Continue Reading →
Lower Decks 2.1 Strange Energies – A TV Review
Lower Decks is back and hopefully this is the start of 6 months of new Star Trek with hopefully Picard and Discovery to follow. I found Season 1 somewhat mediocre but was surprisingly excited about this week’s premiere. Perhaps it was because it was shown only 1 day later than the US in the UK... Continue Reading →
Loki – A TV series Review
Loki, what a revelation. It’s taken me a little while to write this review as I wanted to get my thoughts in order because I found this Marvel series a challenging one, in a good way. To start off with I must state that without equivocation I love Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki in the... Continue Reading →
Jupiter’s Legacy: A TV series review
Jupiter’s Legacy is yet another superhero comic book adaptation. Television and film seem to be awash with these and whilst is nice to see authors other than those at Marvel or DC coming to the fore I do feel a saturation point is coming. It was with this mindset that I approached this series. It... Continue Reading →

Wandavision – A TV Review
I have said before that in my opinion the DC universe nails TV series better than Marvel does but in recent months we have been treated to two event TV series from Marvel aired on Disney Plus that aimed to make its mark. The first of these was Wandavision. In the same way that Iron... Continue Reading →
The Expanse: Season 5 -A TV series review
The Expanse is one of the best realised science fiction series on TV at the moment. Season 5 of this show based on the books of James S.A. Corey just finished on Amazon Prime in the UK and what a ride it was. This season has continued to impress with its scale and scope but... Continue Reading →
Babylon 5 Remastered Edition – A TV Series Review
It is no secret that Babylon 5 is perhaps y all time favourite science fiction series. Yes, I am a big trekkie and I love all of the franchise, but Babylon 5 has so much more depth to it. I must have watched all 5 seasons multiple times and still find new nuances within. Whilst... Continue Reading →
