Many TV shows I let ripen in my "to watch" queue for months (sometimes a semester, sometimes a year...).  This one I watched as soon as it was released on Netflix last month, and it didn't disappoint!On the one hand the formula is well known for this kind of film. There is someone from the future that sends back someone (or some machine) to the past so that they can save the future.  Spoiler

I finally caught up with The Acolyte, a Star Wars universe adventure. The series is a typical streamer length (8 episodes) and sadly it was cancelled shortly after it was release.  As the expression goes, the body wasn't even cold yet 🫤.I rather liked the series because it paints a picture that is a bit more complicated than the typical Jedi = Good, Anger/Sith = Bad. In fact, in this series

Here's a game I "finished" this month.  I was curious about this game as it was an iOS Arcade exclusive for a while and the free three month trial of Apple Arcade was like a siren call... In the end, I skipped the mobile experience and decided to buy this on sale on Steam some time over the summer (or was it in the spring?)By "finished" I mean that I earned all Steam achievements, I finished the

Here's another TV show I started a while back, but I just got around to finishing.  I came across this one on Plex one afternoon while browsing the free streaming offerings a year or so ago. I had never watched Flash Gordon (the original movie), but I think I need to track it down and see how it compares.  I guess this 2007-era TV show is loosely based on the comic strip.The one season

Here's another series I binged back in May-June. Another series I wanted to like, but...m'eh. Also a series that I only stuck around to the end of season 2 because of Lena Headey being headlined 😂The gist of the story is that there are space-based lighthouses (called Beacons) and just like their terrestrial counterparts, they serve as navigational beacons helping spacefarers navigate the hazards

 Time TraxAlright! Here's a show that I started to watch a few years back during the COVID lockdowns, which I put to the side due to the camp-factor, and now I decided to slog through in 2023 and watch it.  The show? Time Trax! This show has two seasons (44 episodes) and it was originally on the Prime Time Entertainment Network in 1993-1994.  This was supposedly an affiliate of TV38

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

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

 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. 

[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
