Richard Burton on how he had to correct his speech.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy TV Series 2026


The reviews for Starfleet Academy have been terrible.  This is from people watching the show, but the 9nth episode got a favorable score.  

Notice that the number of reviewers drops considerably as the series progresses.

This is a cool moment in one of the Stargate series.  There were many cool moments and three different series.

For years there have been rumors of a franchise reboot, but it hasn't happened yet. 

The original movie had mixed to negative reviews, although I personally liked it and saw it around 7 times, but the spinoff TV shows developed a large fan base.

The Real Monsters Aren’t the Infected

I was always a fan of Graham Greene who passed away recently.  He was in Dance With Wolves along with a few other movies.


This is from the Zombie streaming series, "The Last of Us", which is adapted from a video game.  I assumed that this was one of Graham Greene's final roles, but according to IMDB, he had dozens of recent roles.

Tragic Details About How I Met Your Mother Star Alyson Hannigan


The title seems like click bait.

I've been a fan of Alyson Hannigan since Buffy the Vampire Slayer. On that show she played a nerdy character. The first actress looked the part, but she didn't work out, so they hired Alyson Hannigan, who Joss Whedon described as someone who "looks like a supermodel."

She later ended up on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, which IMDb lists her as a producer.

"Risk is Our Business" - speech explaining what Star Trek is about

The Battle of the Wilderness (May 5–7, 1864) was the opening clash of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Virginia. Fought in thick, tangled woods, the brutal, often hand-to-hand, three-day battle resulted in over 28,000 combined casualties and ended in a tactical stalemate.

This Minute Speech is Better Than Entire Sci-Fi Shows

One of the highlights of Babylon 5.

Ambassador G'Kar and Ambassador Mollari were bitter enemies, as were their peoples, but years later aligned with each other for a common purpose and to achieve peace.

G'Kar was played by Andreas Katsulas, who was maybe the most brilliant actor on the series.  He played the one-armed man in The Fugitive movie.  He occasionally played a villain on Star Trek.

Rose Marie: Al Capone's Lunch: A Kid's Unforgettable Mob Encounter

Rose Marie is most famous for her role on the Dick Van Dyke show.  She started as a child performer in Vaudeville, and reportedly in places that had some associations with gangsters.

BSG



I've tried a couple of times over the last few months to restart watching Battlestar Galactica. I didn't get very far, partly because I felt obligated to watch the streaming services I'm currently paying for. I also hesitated to watch it again because, over the last 22 years, I've watched the entire series three times. I've seen the pilot miniseries and season 1, episode 1 several times, and they are both fantastic. Because of that, I figured I must have the show memorized by now.

Another concern was that the series is more of a soap opera than I remember it being.

However, I watched the first half of the miniseries last night and fell in love with the show all over again. The acting and the drama are outstanding. Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell have screen presences that are truly remarkable. The entire supporting cast is excellent as well, especially Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, Aaron Douglas, Michael Hoganand James Callis.

The special effects are starting to look dated, but they were movie quality at the time of the release.

I'd like to watch one episode per night until I make it all the way through the series.

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?

As a parody of a Budweiser Clydesdale commercial, I thought it was cute. It seems like enough to make casual fans curious.

Unfortunately, it sends the message that the next Star Wars movie is more of a comedy and less of a science-fiction fantasy adventure. Still, die-hard fans like me are going to watch it.

I hold out hope that the movie is good, and if it is, then word will get out, and people will want to see it.
