STARFLEET ACADEMY-VOX IN EXCELSO (s1e4)

Image
  STARFLEET ACADEMY-VOX IN EXCELSO  (spoilers)   Wow! I’d have to watch this one again and I’m sure there will be those who pick this apart, especially the battle at the end but the battle is NOT the point of this character study and a damned great one, too. I would give this an 11/10. Okay I'll deduct two points for the battle at the end: how DO you trick Klingons into thinking they're in a battle, have won, and no one died?   The hateful worst of the right will probably hate this soft Klingon and the acceptance of his father as well as the friendships between the three major male cadets and the relationship between Jay Den and the Jem Hadar/Klingon officer. They will also hate the way Jay Den’s brother just fully accepted him and hate the way Jay Den argues that Starfleet cannot change the Klingons but meet them on their own terms. I get it from them, I really do: they hate change, they hate acceptance, they hate. Not all the right. And not all the right ar...

Wally Helvey's DARK SHADOWS CONTINUES fan fiction

Image
 A fan of DARK SHADOWS, Wally Helvey has created a DARK SHADOWS CONTINUES fan fiction, written in the style of the fanzines that Kathleen Resch used to produce, synopsis style. This series thus far has taken the show from the cancellation episode, that being 1245 through to an ending of sorts (though it may continue past that once Wally returns to that episode) starting at episode 1246 and going to 1510 (for now, it may go past that). Wally posts new and updated episodes roughly every Friday on the DARK SHADOWS APPRECIATION FB group. Highly recommended for DS fans and horror fans. Other continuations include a Dale Clark series of fan novels that have yet been finished (with Dale showing NO signs of ever taking them up again to complete the rest of the series) and my own which is a "What If DS Were Never Cancelled and Exists in 2026 to this Day?" project. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659238900971971

DARK SHADOWS 583

Image
  DARK SHADOWS  583 “Willie! If you touch that body, I will kill you!”   “I do know that Barnabas wouldn’t do anything to harm me.”   Vicki. The sleeping house seems to be at peace. The circular machine does not look as violet. Different reprise. Willie grabs the sheet. Barnabas stops him, “If you touch that body, I will kill   you.”    Pause, credits.     He also says CollinSwood. Willie talks to Barnabas about Maggie. Willie tells him to use Julia, use Vicki. He asks what Maggie ever did to him. Barnabas tells him she is the most available. He reminds Willie that Willie helped him to try to convert Maggie into Josette before he fancied himself in love with her.     Willie worries some more and tells Barnabas he’ll get another girl for him. Barnabas counters, “You trust Julia, you trust me.”   Willie will promise not to interfere with the experiment if Barnabas promises not to use Maggie. Barnabas will no...

STARFLEET ACADEMY-BETA TEST and VITRUS REFLUX (s1: eps 2 and 3)

Image
  STARFLEET ACADEMY-BETA TEST and VITRUS REFLUX (s1: eps 2 and 3)   The nay sayers are all wrong. I mean all wrong. The right are trying hard to find reasons to hate this show from the start. They fail to see that this show is set in a school, a college so the college age people that they complained about from even before the show started were always going to be…college age people. Surviving teenagers from a tough time after “the Burn.”   For any sci fi show, that’s a wonderful premise. For TREK, it’s revolutionary. TREK, for far too long, has been set in a universe of comfort and ease and even when it wasn’t, there was always a DEEP SLEEP MINE station to return to or a return to Earth or a boring earth type planet as in NEXT GENERATION, both of those shows “fans” and the right like to pretend were great shows. BOTH were not. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that STARFLEET ACADEMY is superior to both of those shows and hit the ground running, which DEEP SLEEP and NEXT...
