Guinan: Unsung heroine.

Lately I've been on a Star Trek binge watching mood (TOS & TNG   to be exact)  but mainly, TNG, since I grew up with it. Either way, it's been super fun re-watching the series because there are themes/episodes that went over my head when I was younger, now I'm far more perceptive. (maybe I was just an oblivious kid to begin with 😜 ) Whatever it might have been, ever since I've had the chance to re-watch TNG episodes, I came to the conclusion that Counselor Deanna Troi was not very good at her job, unlike Guinan, despite NOT being officially the ship's counselor, Picard regarded her advice and opinions far more than Troi's expertise. Despite the fact that Whoopi Goldberg was a guest starring appearance, and it was a versatile role, where if she needed to be a filler character, she could be. She gave far excellent advice to the rest of the crew. Not only Picard went to her for but Worf, Crusher, Geordi, Data and even Riker seemed to look for her when ...

PERHAPS TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO GEEK!

Hello kiddies!! No, I did not die, but it almost feels like I did. Sorry i have not been able to post anything these past two months, but for us poor mortals who need to work in order to pay bills, this season is one of the busiest, specially for those who work in retail (ahem, like i do). So, if you also work retail, or have ever been tortured to do so (at some point in your life), i  basically do not have a life. I sold my soul to the Retail God, and as of late, I've been non existant. Any ways, so today I had the energy to post, so here we go!! For those who have not noticed this year has been our year, since sci-fi, comics based, fantasy, etc genres have been dominating the big screen, and to that I say, it's about time!! So, not only has our community been anxiously waiting for The Force Awakens, but just today, Team Roddenberry released the trailer for Star Trek Beyond. And to tell you the truth, I'm pretty psyched about it! Not only are we being introduce...

THE FANDOM AWAKENS!!!!

May the Force be with J.J. ABRAMS!!! So, after so many times being rick-rolled over “official” trailers for the new Star Wars The Force Awakens, it finally happened!!! We finally got an actual snippet of the trailer that has broken the internet since we found out that J.J. Abrams took the helm of this project. Critics (positive and negative) have abound with their opinions about their personal expectations for this upcoming film. And quite frankly, it’s not over possessiveness, but we want justice after the fiasco of the “Special Editions” and the Prequels. Anyways, all around the fringes of cyberspace comments have been made, expectations either have been heightened or completely destroyed, but it seems a lot more real than those pesky “rumors.” And in my most personal opinion, I only have to say this…. I will reserve any comment, judgment on and or about this (or for that matter, any future teasers, trailers, etc.) teaser trailer until right before the first ...

Star Wars or Star Trek: Which one sets your Geeky heart a flutter?

A couple of days ago, while sitting down and watching Fanboys , got me thinking of the touch-y subject (and at times controversial, I guess) of which one is better, Star Wars or Star Trek? Sure, both franchises have some things in common, like the obvious, both contain Star  in their titles and both revolve around space (and at this point, you maybe yelling at me by saying "No duh"). I promise, this post WILL get better! Ok., aside from the blatantly obvious, both franchises could not be more different. It would be like comparing apples to watermelons. But, I'm not here to discuss the differences, neither am I here to sway you from one or the other. Mainly I'm here to ask you guys, which one and mainly WHY  do you prefer one better than the other? Personally for me, I have so much love for both.  Both were significant and integral parts of my childhood and continue to be. As a child one of my fondest memories is watching reruns of Star ...
