Thank you to all 10,000+ of you who’ve helped this little channel become what it is!
I’m always blown away by how lively the comments are - even on videos that don’t get a huge number of views. I appreciate all your opinions, words of support and granular fact-checking (you guys don’t let me get away with anything!)

It’s been a video every month so far, and I plan to keep that going in 2026.
I had a lot of fun making the Star Trek 3 and 6 videos so I’ll be continuing with the rest of the movie series. The order will be all over the place and I’ll probably keep upcoming releases a surprise. Next one of these is slated for January.

But this isn’t turning into a Star Trek channel. I’ve got two B5 related videos in development and I’m not out of ideas there yet. This will probably also be the year I branch out to some other classic sci-fi.

Merry Christmas! See you in the New Year!

New video is up!
Others have touched on this topic, but they never give the DS9 side a fair hearing.
Where do the Trek people claim their inspiration came from? And how does that stack up with what we saw on screen?

Also fun to see the ancient space station rivalry reignited in the comments - if you’ve got a dog in that fight, watch the video and dive in!

New video drops on Friday!
A look at one of the great sci-fi controversies of the 1990s.

Got quite a few ideas bouncing around for stuff in the new year.
There'll definitely be more B5 and classic Trek - but what else would you like to see here on the channel?

New video up!
Join me for a breakdown of Star Trek III - the space battle, future fashion, Grand Theft Star Ship.
Oh, and the biggest missed opportunity for an action hero one-liner in cinema history.

The one after this will be back to B5.

Hey gang,

A few channel updates:

1) New B5 video out on Friday. This one looks at one of the big 'what ifs' of the franchise. I'm particularly pleased with a couple of montages I put together in the back half.

2) The SNW videos were fun to make - but I hear you loud and clear: Most of you didn't sub for that kind of stuff.
I might make second channel for that kind of content and keep this one focused on dissections of classic sci-fi.

3) Considering trying out live streaming. Never done it before so would really value your input - like, is this something you'd watch? How should I go about it? All advice is welcome and appreciated!

Trying something a new.
I don’t usually do full-on reviews of new stuff on this channel - but Strange New World is interesting enough to dissect.
I’ll have another on episode two in a couple days - it’s a fun challenge to edit a little looser and snap them together more quickly.

Don’t worry if that’s not your bag, more videos on B5 and other classic sci-fi are also in the works.

Thanks for supporting the channel!

Hey all!
Can you believe that Kirk only ever had ONE space battle with the Klingons in the whole of TOS?
That's what my latest video is all about - be sure to check it out!
