March 22, 2024 12:00 - 40 minutes - 58 MBThere’s a lot of fan crossover between Star Trek and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes.

July 18, 2023 02:22 - 9 minutes - 7.8 MBStar Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 is halfway over, and while it is not universally hailed as the best modern Trek show, it certainly has a preponderance of fans proclaiming it as such. The latest episode takes Spock where he’s never gone before when an alien race “fixes” him by removing the genetic markers that make him half-Vulcan, thereby rendering him completely human. Such a light-hearted episode deserves an experienced comedy director. That director is Jordan Canning, and I had the...
