Lower Decks Double Feature

With the technical problems serving as a reminder that things are unpredictable, I want to have two weeks worth of additional material at the ready - one new material and one of restorations. So here is next Saturday's new Lower Decks (Reflections) as well as the episode that follows (Hear All, Trust Nothing, the DS9 crossover one) that will be ...

Star Trek and Some Rewards

Tomorrow will be Rules of Engagement: https://youtu.be/xHyA8Nm3jCk

And Tuesday will be Once Upon a Planet: https://youtu.be/O4V5aAng9Tk

You'll also find the September Q&A, the latest Mission Ga...

The Terratin Incident and Update 2

Restored TAS episode that will be going live tomorrow: https://youtu.be/SzbhW_zmRxI

I found my work around was apparently a fluke, because the next video I tried, it broke no matter what I did. So I've surrendered, networked the two machines together, and did it on the ol...

Weekend Rewards + Update

First, next Forge of Shadows and a tiny chapter of Mission Gamma. I am supposed to be on vacation so I figured a little one is a safe compromise. :-)

Part of the need to step back was PowerDirector sabota...

Background - Village of the Damned & Break

Here's a preview of tomorrow's background video of Saturday's Village of the Damned (1960).

I'm going to take next week off. I'm kind of at a diminishing returns point and need to unplug a little bit. I may put up some restorations, but I don't want to make any promises. The problems that the changes to PowerDirector have brought really m...

Village of the Damned Review

Village of the Damned (1960) will go public on Saturday, but here it is now!

If there are spots where there is no video,...

Dirty Pair Flash and Forge of Shadows

It's been longer than two weeks, I know, but episode 2 is finally finished! https://youtu.be/ozct2DiVaBA

Also you'll find attached all the parts for the new Lone Wolf-related gamebook Forge of Shadows.

Weekend Rewards and Old School Shows

We've got Mission Gamma's latest chapter and more of Forge of Shadow (the Lone Wolf series). Plus, what does Matthew Perry, Werewolves, and the Odyssey have in common? They all are related to the three Old School Shows for the summer. We're getting into some obscure territory with these!

Q&As and Some Further Essays

Attached here are the Q&As for the summer. The August one is primarily about the website going down, and why going forward, the rewards will be on Patreon (and in an archive) rather than on rewards pages as it had been in the past. Those points are related - the site going down is tied to that.

Also put together two more audio essays; ...

Weekend Rewards

Latest chapter of Mission Gamma book 3, and the new Lone Wolf universe book Forge of Shadows begins!

I'm working today on the blue channel a bit. I realize that it's been 10 years this month since Blip shut down and so it's probably time I updated the channel a little bit. Been cleaning up some of the playlists already.

We took Phant...

Shockwave 2 and Tribbles 2

Wow, sorry, this proved a lot harder than planned. I feel pretty good about this second new Enterprise work, I'd had some fear that maybe my previous disgust with Archer was of the moment, but no, nothing's changed. :-)

Shockwave 2 will be up later today, and a few other things.

Weekend Rewards

Two chapters of Mission Gamma and the final part of Worlds at War, hope you enjoyed this little experiment.

I'm sorry, I actually had this done sooner, but I've a little overwhelmed. Phantom (the cat) has an entirely new problem now. Yes, I wouldn't believe me either. I'd post a picture but I don't want to gross you out. Something on his ...

Imperfect Organism Three through Five

I've got Part 3 done (the one that's going up today) and I'm finishing up 4 and 5. I'll edit this post as they come in.

Weekend Rewards

Hey, I have the latest chapter of Mission Gamma Book 3 and a new tale from Worlds at War here!

Currently working on pushing the next three parts of the Alien background video over the finish line. I've got them all written and recorded and am editing them simultaneously, so the editing overall is two thirds finished.

Big hurdle lat...

Weekend Rewards

Here's the next chapter of Mission Gamma Book 3. Additionally, while I'm trying to get the new gamebook set up, I thought I'd revisit something from my childhood with you. Back in the 1980s when the only computer I had was a TI-99/4A by Texas Instruments and there was no getting on what little internet there was with that, I spent a lot of time ...

Babylon 5

A few hiccups, but here are next week's Babylon 5 reviews!

Art Essay + Phantom the Cat

I've attached an essay about artists working in established contexts (such as making sequels). Hope you like it. :-)

Things got a little rough for the past two days. Phantom, my cat that had to get some serious treatment back in early May, got heat sickness. It was dumb bad luck: He was lying on a dark fluffy surface in front of a window o...

Making of Alien Series Continues

Alien Resurrection one is up.

https://youtu.be/bYpoly36WFw

I'm off to bed, so I hope this is all right, I didn't get a chance to watch it first. I'm paranoid, PowerDirector has been getting loaded with all this AI-generating stuff, and I'm terrified something is go...

Weekend Rewards

Sorry I forgot to get these up last week, so here is last week's and this week's. This brings us to the end of the Autumn Snow book and series, but I just got something new from the Lone Wolf universe, so I'll try to have that ready for next weekend.

I'm finishing up the next part of the Alien background (Imperfect Organism), it's about h...

Lower Decks - Room for Growth

As always, Aliens stuff is taking long, so here's the Lower Decks while I finish it: https://youtu.be/R5p_eeQbRc4

The Ultimate Computer

Tomorrow (Saturday) will be The Ultimate Computer. https://youtu.be/_AJicM9PCF0

I spent this week trying to work on this week and next week's stuff both, to get a buffer in place, as there should be. So there'll be some new stuff for next week coming tomorrow.

Also,...

Alien 3

Imperfect Organism begins with Alien 3. This is the longest one yet.

https://youtu.be/lvELp974TPY

What annoys me is that I just can't get the Assembly Cut off my Blu Ray into the computer, so it's a "take my word for it" on that part. It just doesn't want to be rea...

B5 and SG-1

I'm doing some restorations this week because I'm getting a start on next week's Alien docs now. Alien 3's just needs to be recorded and edited, and I've started on Alien Resurrection and am almost done with the preliminary research on AvP. So here's some Season 1 Babylon 5, and the season 2 cliffhanger story with Hathor from SG-1:

Perfect Organism Part 6

Final part is up. It'll go live after I wake up some time this afternoon, I've been up since yesterday morning. Man I'm a glutton for punishment. https://youtu.be/05bCuAdx8b0

Perfect Organism Part 5

We move on to the film Aliens with this one. https://youtu.be/yqowUysyO84

The editing always takes longer than I think it will. Not getting the series done ahead of time is the problem. Of course, I didn't really plan for this, just sort of an aligning of stars.

One Little Ship

One Little Ship was one big problem, but it's finally acceptable to the bots, so enjoy! https://youtu.be/4FM86fNrtqA

I'll be working on Aliens stuff after I get some sleep.

Weekend Rewards & Lower Decks

New Mission Gamma and Autumn Snow attached. And here's the Lower Decks that's going up. Next week's new DS9: One Little Ship, is just about done and will be ready for officers and up later on Saturday.

Weekend Rewards

The latest Autumn Snow and Mission Gamma Book 3. The two chapters are both short, so I finished both.

I've had to put my preview video page on the back burner. The Alien background project kind of got out of hand, but from the sound of things it's been a net positive. We'll be looking at Aliens next over two parts, then one part each for A...

Prometheus

This is my review of the Prometheus film. It actually won't go public for a while, I was just close enough to the end that I wanted to finish. Unfortunately I underestimated the bots so unlike Alien which went down smooth this was a beast.
