I was scrolling through my old posts and found a Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Franchises, all the way from 2017, before the world turned on its head by a global pandemic, insane policies made by insane politicians, and a planet that feels far more unhinged and unsafe than it ever has since the … More Heidy’s Top 5 Movie Franchises – 2024 Update
Time certainly flies — I posted about the Picard TV show almost four years ago, a time before COVID. Because it was only available to watch on CBS All-Access at the time and it’s not a service I subscribed to, the show fell off my radar despite my interests in watching it. The came the … More Picard Catchup
After the terrible mess that is Discovery (which I couldn’t even finish the first season) and the divisive Picard, I haven’t been very eager to try out the rest of the new batch of CBS Trek shows. But after running out of things to watch, I finally got around to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds … More Catching up – Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Arguably, the franchise saw its heydays between the debut of The Next Generation (1987) and the end of Enterprise (2005), after which there was a long vacuum. Discovery came along in 2017 to revive … More Trek TV in 2021
Barely two months after the loss of Deep Space Nine alumnus Aron Eisenberg, René Auberjonois — known as DS9 mainstay Odo the Changeling — passed away yesterday at the age of 79.
Aron Eisenberg, best known to Trekkies around the world as Nog the Ferengi, passed away at the age of 50. He may not be a cultural phenomenon like Leonard Nimoy, but Eisenberg is a much loved part of the Star Trek franchise. As others have pointed out, his character Nog went through arguably one of … More In Memoriam: Aron Eisenberg 1969-2019
Sorry about the sparse posts lately, but real life has thrown me another curve ball lately in the form of my dad’s health.
