Currently pre-screening #YoungSherlock from #AmazonPrimeVideo ... if you've ever considered yourself an aficionado of geek-culture, then Sherlock Holmes should have been your first superhero!

Watch for the upcoming review when I can say more!

Mucking around with Fallout 4. finished the story multiple times. Now I'm just going back to find hidden quests and trying to find as many Power Armour suits as I can!

Behold the fruits of my labour.

The green suit is an X-02 suit, painted fully green which pumps up my Luck stat.

(Such a nerd.)

After multiple interviews, visits, discussions about having awesome mothers, and even a mutual appreciation of some James T. Kirk Kentucky Bourbon, it behooves me to wish Eugene Roddenberry a happy birthday from all corners of the Federation!

The final episode of @Fallout S2 was definitely worth it! Fantastic fight sequence and stay tuned to the credit scenes - it was EXACTLY what I was hoping would happen! A show for the true and new fans! @PrimeVideoCA

Yeah ... my kid bullies me into smoking cheese for her so that she can have a smoked grilled cheese sandwich.

When you look up "indulgent parent" you'll see my picture.

Wonder Man: Marvel Series Has a Slow Not-So-Superhero Sidekick Style β€” Original Cin By John Kirk

My take on @MarvelStudios #WonderMan ... #BenKingsley is definitely the unsung hero but more of a well-needed sidekick.

Anyone else feeling a bit tense, dreading what type of dementia-riddled calamity is going to come out of Davos, now that the Great Pumpkin has landed?

Apparently I'm charming enough to attend a Star Trek premiere post-screening reception.

Who knew?

Thanks for the invitation, Paramount+ CA.

I suppose you can't have a Star Trek event without Captain Kirk!

Watch for the forthcoming interviews. Original-CIN.ca

(Wait for the interviews!)

It's the second week of January. Not a bad start for geek journalism.

Here's my problem:

On Wednesday night, I've been invited to attend the Toronto red carpet premiere of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

When there's a strong fan element to the event, I NEVER know how much nerd flair is enough.

So a descriptor I used in my review of Starfleet Academy was "Beverly Hills, 90210 in space" got picked up by another outlet!

Their take was "haters are describing this show as Beverly Hills, 90210".

I've become a hater? When did I become a hater?

My God, Bones ... what have I done?

This is the way I like to imagine myself, heading into the new year: in the command chair, course charted, objectives to reach.
Not a Five-Year mission though. It's another 50.
Wouldn't have it any other way. #LLAP to all my friends. #HappyNewYear @StarTrek

(Thx @WilliamShatner)

True, to this point, readers know about Kitty's narrative. But, even at issue 6, covers still have to draw in new readers.

So, what you've acknowledged is valid, but in the 1980s, there were still bystanders in comic shops/drug stores looking at it for the first time, wondering what that's about?
