It grew out of my desire to build my own website featuring an online magazine about African-Americans in sci-fi. Unfortunately, posting [...]

April 30th, 2008 · Comments

The Fifth Cylon Revealed and Battlestar Galactica’s Redemption

April 30th, 2008 · Comments

Honestly, I stay away from blogging about Battlestar Galactica for several reasons.  One of which is that they made Col. Saul Tigh a white man and totally white-washed the main cast. (disparaging the memory of original cast member and excellent actor Terry Carter)  Except for a minor character (who we will discuss in a moment), [...]

Book of the Week 4-14-2008

April 17th, 2008 · Comments

We haven’t had a book of the week for a few weeks, so I thought I would scour what I have to find something worthy.  I was never a fan of Marvel’s cosmic stories, but I did sometimes keep up with Silver Surfer.  To be honest, I had all but forgotten about Marvel Cosmic [...]
