Halfway through its second season, Star Trek aired The Gamesters of Triskelion in which Kirk, Uhura, and Chekhov are taken from the Enterprise to Triskelion where they are enslaved as thralls, forced to fight for the amusement of their captors.
I can’t say much about the costumes in this arena …

Normally, I don’t watch late-night adult programming on HBO or the other premium movie channels we have. Maybe when I was in college or even when I was single. But, now that I’m married and have a child, it just seems immature. Besides, if I’m watching it alone instead …

There are a couple of interesting points to Emerald Point N.A.S.: Episode 20 - Friends and Lovers that kept me viewing with anticipation.
First, there was another face off between Simon (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jack (Charles Frank) over Celia (Susan Dey). It’s such a twisted triangle that isn’t …

I missed this when it was first televised, and was only half interested - it looked like yet another adaption of Pride & Prejudice, and to me you still can’t better the 1995 BBC series.
But then I noted that it had a twist. And it’s a great premise. Amanda …

Star Trek: Generations for the PC is a game that I did not enjoy very much. For one thing, I found this game to be very confusing. When I am beamed down to a planet or over to a planetary station, I am left to explore and the problem …

Alias Smith and Jones: The Girl in Boxcar #3 has some drama and poignancy to it, and while I enjoy it, it also is the first show that has Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) apart for much of the time. This serves to allow …

Stargate SG-1: Tangent is a very nice entry in season four of SG-1. It again divides the team up, but they are all focused on the same goal, and it’s full of angst and drama.

First and foremost let me say that I am really tired of seeing different types of waters that are supposed to do something more impressive than water alone. The newest craze in waters is Snapple’s Anti-Oxidant water. The motto for the commercial is “It’s All …

Watching this episode now, I have to wonder why the Law and Order Criminal Intent series decided to end their season with it. The previous episode is far better than this one, yet it is the season ended. I really didn’t care for this episode very much, and I’m …

From February 1982, The Fall Guy: Ladies on the Ropes is one I’d just rather forget to be honest. There are some shows where either the topic or just the theme in which a story is placed doesn’t excite men, and this is definitely one of those.
Basically, Bail …

Well, that was an episode of the Simpsons I haven’t seen before; See Homer Run. It was an OK episode but wasn’t the greatest though.

Highway Patrol: : Christmas Story was the last show of the first season, airing in June, which seems odd, but that’s okay. Maybe the records are wrong about that, or maybe that is how early television was and I’m just too into what I consider to be normal.
In …

This episode had some potential, but inevitably fell flat for me. It was interesting to see the monster of the week get killed off in the stinger, and have its death be the subject of investigation. It seemed like a nice inversion, but at about the halfway …
