Comic-Con – Victim of Its Own Success?

Jul 23rd, 2009 | By CJ | Category: Diversions

With Comic-Con sprouting again in San Diego in ‘09, I can’t help feel like this year is different. I’ve had this sense before with other sorts of conventions. Has Comic-Con’s popularity caused it to meet their fate?



Star Trek Memories

May 8th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: Trek

I’ve had Star Trek be a part of my life since 1967. I was in elementary school at the time. Though I didn’t quite latch on to the series when it started, by the end of the first season I was hooked. Who knew that 42 years later, I’d still be talking about it?



TTSCC – Beyond John’s Army

Apr 23rd, 2009 | By CJ | Category: TTSCC

Let’s look at the world that is not in John Connor’s upper caste–all of those humans that aren’t soldiers but just trying to survive. Let’s also look at the world outside Connor’s camp, especially since we now have the post-season-2 altered timeline.

TTSCC – Cameron and DID

Apr 18th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: TTSCC

I’m still not sold on the idea that Cameron’s chip is necessarily glitchy. Since her CPU was damaged, there is no doubt that she’s been having to work through various conflicts that weren’t conflicts before.



Not Sure How I Feel About CSI 0920

Apr 16th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: Diversions

Tonight’s episdoe of CSI, “A Space Oddity”, promised to be an interesting one: a death at a scifi convention. I’m still not quite sure if it was a parody, an homage, or outright mocking. I say this despite the fact that the principle writers have a connection to the genre.



TTSCC – The Importance of John Henry in Season 3

Apr 16th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: TTSCC

The mud-puddle that sucking at my shoe is this question: What, exactly, is so important about Weaver’s John that Sarah’s John can’t win the war without em?



Terminators and Dogs

Apr 16th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: TTSCC

I’ve been thinking about how the ability of dogs to detect terminators is both a good thing and a bad thing for story. It’s obviously well-established, but does the idea need a little tweaking?
