Endings and New Beginnings
2021 was another roller coaster of a year. So much so that Netflix has a series called Death to 2021, so I don’t think I’m going too far out on a limb in saying people are happy to see the … Continue reading

The Importance of Character II
Call this an editorial if you will. It’s one of 2 that I’ll be attempting. Back in October of 2017, having seen the movie Blade Runner 2049, I felt the need to share my view of how important it is … Continue reading

What Remains of Edith Finch
It’s been a while, but we’re back with some games that I got into while we were on a Twilight Zone kick! Some time ago, I picked up a game called Gone Home which one might call a walking simulator, in … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: You Might Also Like
When I watched Try, Try, I was disappointed and made the comment that out of 20 episodes, there were only 4 really great ones. I neglected Blurryman when I said that, which would have brought us up to 5. With … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Try, Try
Well, I can’t say I’m disappointed that the series is coming to an end. We had a number of great episodes in a row, but for the penultimate one, Try Try, we’re back to heavy handed messages about the hostility … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Small Town
I had mentioned during Downtime, that it felt like the programmers of the game that we call life had a reason for preventing me from watching season 2 of The Twilight Zone until after Eric Molinsky released his Imaginary Worlds … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Human Face
Of all the episodes of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone, this is the one that had some of the most interesting discussion between me and my group of “penpals”. We’re a handful of friends that watch shows “together”, which is to … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: 8
I’m embarrassed to say it took me until writing up this review to realize why the episode was titled 8. In fairness, it’s a testament to the writing, acting, and directing that the title just faded into the background. This … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Among The Untrodden
So far, this season has impressed me more than season one, but none of the episode really wow’d me… until now. I finally feel we have a strong episode that can hold up as an example of what The Twilight … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Ovation
Last week I mentioned just what a bleak place the Twilight Zone could be. While I stand behind that, it’s not really the Zone itself that’s bleak, but the people who we find entering it. The problem is often one … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Who of You
Sometimes The Twilight Zone feels like a very unpleasant place, doesn’t it? I mean, it’s bleak. We meet a guy who is just awkward to watch. He comes home to a miserable girlfriend who is unsympathetic. Not that he deserves … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Downtime
I feel like I entered the Twilight Zone myself when I started to watch this episode. I mean, it was weird enough when I learned many months late that the second season of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone had come out … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Meet in the Middle
Season one of Jordan Peele’s rebooted Twilight Zone was a bit of a heavy slog for me. Well, at least for most of the episodes. It wasn’t that the writing wasn’t good, but I felt like someone was trying to … Continue reading
Subnautica: Below Zero
As readers of the Junkyard know, I loved Subnautica. UnknownWorlds released a survival game that kept me completely immersed without needing to create an action-packed battle game. Instead, it’s a game that keeps your toes curling as you dive deep into the … Continue reading

Top of the Docs: Series 6 (2011)
Smith’s first season as the Doctor had some strong episodes, but only one or two genuinely memorable ones. That didn’t stop me from heading out to NYC to the Ziegfield theater with a young friend who was allowed to miss … Continue reading
Top of the Docs: Series 5 (2010)
With David Tennant gone and no established companion for a new series, the future of Doctor Who was in as mysterious a place as any TARDIS landing. But Stephen Moffat was taking over as showrunner so there was hope. Smith … Continue reading
Top of the Docs: The Specials (2009)
Donna is gone. David Tennant’s Doctor is coming to the end of his run. 2009 was a heartbreaking year for fans and we didn’t know what was to come next. Join us in revisiting the last 4 stories of the … Continue reading
Top of the Docs: Series 4 (2008)
Oh lord, that nails-on-chalkboard companion was coming back! Would we be able to stomach a whole season of Donna Noble after that performance as a one-off companion in The Runaway Bride? And how could this companion compare to Martha Jones, who … Continue reading
Top of the Docs: Series 3 (2007)
Rose’s departure looms large over the new season and Donna did not exactly warm the heart with her first outing. Could a new companion keep the flame of new Who alive for a 3rd season? Let’s see… Smith and Jones … Continue reading
Top of the Docs: Series 2 (2006)
After that first year, I was desperate to find every scrap of Doctor Who footage I could find. A 2 minute interview was gold! The series came back with all the wonder and excitement of my youth. But that didn’t … Continue reading
