With this entry, almost all of the original Star Trek film scores have been released in full except for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (though an expanded score was released for […]

Star Trek: First Contact aka “The Little Train That Couldn’t”

As the Podwits’ Star Trek expert-at-large, I recently ran down my list of the top TOS-era Star Trek films with great gusto. I have since refrained from doing so for the TNG-era films simply because it would be like picking the king of the morons. For the most part, none of the films had any kind of […]
How Not To Make Television

I just finished watching this week’s episode of The Finder on my DVR. I like the show a lot. It’s about a guy who feels an obsessive need to find things for people. So, every week, he helps someone find something or someone that has gone missing. As with most shows, he has his friends that […]
A Lost STAR TREK Episode Surfaces… [UPDATED]
Posted: 24th February 2012 by J. Marcus in Books, Science Fiction, TelevisionTags: Gene L. Coon, Gene Roddenberry, Milton Berle, Norman Spinrad, Star Trek
In my opinion, one of the all-time greatest episodes of the original Star Trek was called “The Doomsday Machine.” Written by Norman Spinrad, it stands as one of the most ambitious entries in the program’s 79-episode run. A new take on Moby Dick (a running theme in the franchise’s history), the episode set the bar very high when it came to […]

One of the things I’ve truly come to appreciate about having a Netflix account is the ability to go back and watch shows that I didn’t have time for when they were on the air. One such example is Charmed. The show follows three witches (played by Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs and […]
In this week’s podcast, I mentioned the new picture of Henry Cavill as Superman and just how much the image made me want to retch. What do you think? Also, as we mentioned, here is a link to that wonderful brand of ice cream that Dion and I were raving about. Three Twins Ice […]
To all those who may say that “they all look alike” and can’t tell the difference (see this week’s podcast), here is a handy guide to your robots: But if you’re still confused, here’s a little fuel for the fire. Robby the Robot did appear in an episode of LOST IN SPACE as a nemesis […]

And… Science Does It Again

Last night, as I was browsing the local Walgreens for something to eat, I stumbled upon literally the last thing I expected to find in the candy aisle (that could still be classified as a candy bar). A 3 Musketeers COCONUT Bar…

OK, so that headline was about as irresponsible as the one I cribbed it from, but the sentiment still stands as the Shatfish debacle just got serious.
