The New X-Files

When they announced a limited episode production of The X-Files people lost their minds. Was it going to feature the original cast? Yes. Why so short a run? Because it is for show.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

In 2011, a good friend of mine recommended that I check out Randy’s book. Without spoiling the contents, he encouraged me to think about the premise the author offered as the reason to call his creation The Last Lecture. Think about it for a second.

The New (Star Wars) Expanded Universe

Before we begin, let me clarify that the reason the old Expanded Universe or EU, was more to my liking is because Ben is the name of Luke’s and Mara’s son, who is not a complete tool like Kylo Ren. Although I love Rey, BB8 and Finn, I resent having to play Disney’s and LucasFilms’s […]
