Fear The Walking Dead Finale

[spoiler alert] Adieu to the most disjointed part of the Walking Dead Universe!OK, I don't hate the series, but I generally thought - multiple times - "WTF is going on?"  I honestly felt that they tried to introduce a lot of different kinds of stories and plots, in a way that was, perhaps, more like an anthology series, but the main characters remained the same. I did get the sense that the writers

Καλά Χριστούγεννα και Καλές Γιορτές!

 Καλά Χριστούγεννα, καλές γιορτές, και με το καλό να υποδεχτούμε το 2024!Λίγες μέρες έμειναν πιά στο 2023.  Αυτός ο χρόνος πέρασε πολύ γρήγορα. Είχε τα πάνω του, είχε και τα κάτω του, και με όλη την βαβούρα δεν κατάλαβα πότε

Invasion (2021) quick thoughts

Well, here's another Invasion.  This time this is on Apple+ and Earth is being invaded by beings unknown.  This one is a  much more overt invasion compared to the other Invasion show that was replacing humans with human-alien hybrids. There are two seasons out now on Apple+ and from the hate you might see on Reddit, you might think that this show stinks.  It is a slow burn, and

Moonhaven - Quick look

Continuing on with my Sci-Fi binge... this is a small review of a short-lived series from 2002 called Moonhaven.  The story starts similarly to other dystopian sci-fi stories: "Congrats Lads! We've f*cked up the earth and we need solutions!"The new twist on this old trope is that the Earthers built a 500-square-mile colony on the Moon that a bunch of settlers from Earth colonized. Rather than

Division 2 | Done

Here's a game that I "completed" back on 9/30/23I enjoyed the first Division game that I decided back in ...whenever (I really should track when I start a game)...to just go directly into the sequel.  This division game take place partly in Washington D.C.(main game), and partly in New York (Warlords of New York expansion).  I say that I "completed" it, in quotes, because the game is still

Deus Ex: Human Revolution | Done

 Here's the most recently finished game: Deux Ex: Human Revolution.   I finished this game on November 4, 2023.  I'm trying a new tactic and writing about games now in a more recent order (i.e., writing about the ones I finished most recently) to see if I catch up on my blogging topic backlog - 😂Anyway, I had started this game back in my Xbox 360 days about ten years ago.

Twitterversary

At the end of  November, I decided to scale back a lot of my Twitter usage (no, I won't call it "X").  I've been using Fedica to cross-post across mastodon, bluesky, and twitter since this summer (and when threads becomes available, I'll post on threads too). Meanwhile I have 5 tabs open in the browser, and four apps on my old phone (now used like an "iPod touch" style device) that I use

Invasion (2005) quick thoughts

[Spoilers] Continuing on in my quest to watch sci-fi shows that I missed on their first run, today here are some quick thoughts on Invasion (2005). The show is available for free on Tubi for those who want to see it, and it was originally on ABC.I guess this is one of those shows that was canceled a little bit before its time. It only had one season, and that season is very uneven in its pacing. I

TV - See

Here's something that's been sitting in my drafts for a while! I wasn't sure about starting this TV series, but who can go wrong with Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in the headline?!The premise of the show is that in the 21st century, a virus wiped out most of humanity (yay!!!😵‍💫). Fewer than two million people survived, and all their descendants have lost their sense of sight (good job, humans!).

TV - Space: 1999

So... returning to my review of old sci-fi TV shows that I had never seen before, here's a quick view of a British Sci-Fi show titled Space: 1999 by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (of Thunderbirds fame, and Space Precinct, which I also think I wrote about before).This is one trippy show... The premise of Space: 1999 centers on the plight of the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific research center
