Generated by IJG JPEG LibraryIf you enjoy science fiction you frequently have to endure Lefty sermons on various subjects.Beloved Readers: And rain is still wet, Oh Herald of the Dark. What’s your point?It’s a premise, not a point. If you look for it, you can find plenty of right-wing science fiction in print but in the English-speaking world, media science fiction is dominated by Hollywood and the BBC. Neither institution is capable of producing anything with a Right-wing viewpoint. Occasionally...

Raya and the Last Dragon Bombs

More bad news for Mickey the Great and Terrible.(Let me start by saying this is an essay is not a review.  I have not seen Raya and the Last Dragon, and I strongly suspect I won’t be getting around to it even after it’s free.)This was supposed to be Disney’s genuine comeback film. Sure, there have been a few releases since the plague hit town, but they weren’t the “real thing.”  They weren’t a genuine effort to blow the doors off at...

Star Trek Update: 3/9/2021

New Star Wars Book Features “The Rock”

Apparently the "High Republic," was referring to the writing process. They are doing the good shit at LucasFilm.Claudia Grey is the author who ended the big Zoom marketing push with a Vulcan salute. Which possibly explains where she came up with her brilliant edition to the High Republic; "Geode, the rock." For once I am actually quite curious as to what rock's prefferred pronouns are.This new character is literally a rock.Here is a situation where pictures are worth...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend WandaVision

Arr Maties!  Captain Herald has returned from the high seas to tell ye a tale of…well…basic, acceptable mediocrity.So far that is all that Disney Plus has proven itself capable of providing.  But at least they are still capable of delivering that.  Given how converged the company has become it’s only a matter of time before even this low bar is beyond them.And that is all that Wanda Vision is.  Acceptably mediocre.  The fans came up with much more interesting theories than the show eventually delivered...

Rumors: Cara Dune Has Been Recast

Not the character you understand. Expect a few, vague references to Cara Dune's tragic but heroic death. No, the slot she was supposed to fill on Rangers of the New Republic is allegedly being handed to yet another Dave Filoni character. In this case, Hera Syndulla from Star Wars Rebels.I was vaguely familiar with the character and I suppose if Thrawn is going to be the main villain going forward it makes sense for Syndulla to be...
